Lagna in Cancer 26°31'03"
Cancer in the Ascendant gives a pleasing appearance of medium height, a round face, a thick neck and plump buttocks. Amiable in disposition, soft in speech, a connoisseur of good food and fond of luxurious living. You have the admirable quality of feeling at home in almost every situation.
You are a bundle of contradictions, greatly influenced by your planetary configurations. You are gentle, feminine in attribute, watery and have strength during the night and when 'resting near a lake, pond, or sand bank.' Materialistic in your approach to life, you are nevertheless capable of attaining great heights in spiritual practices. You may withdraw from the mainstream of life, actively pursuing your ethereal interests in seclusion, though outwardly you seem to be deeply engrossed in your earthly profession.
You can rise to sublime heights or sink into gross materialism. However, you do not really enjoy any situation. You may easily capture the object of your desire, but sex alone will not satisfy you. You may possess material riches and luxuries, but pine for something else. Even spiritual attainments and realizations seem of no consequence. Either you long for the past, or for that which is not yet in your possession.
Your attitude toward life and the parameters of your emotions and thoughts are always changing-nothing can hold your attention for long. You always shine in reflected glory. You must hold onto someone higher, mightier, wealthier, more respected, through whose support and patronage you can express your own qualities. In the absence of such an influence you seem forlorn, made of straw.
Given the opportunity to explain abstruse philosophical thoughts, you can reel out poetry to express them beautifully. But if required to articulate your own independent ideas on any subject, you might fail miserably. As long as love and affection are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you. It has been observed, that emotional excitement, aggressive designs, and the pursuit of self-aggrandizement often lead a Cancer born individual to destruction.
Your greatest trouble comes from Saturn, the planet of restriction: whenever any situation arises which impedes your natural growth, you get enmeshed in an inextricable tangle. Your marriage is seldom happy; you often surrender yourself to your partner, either in emotional excitation or through some kind of infatuation, only to discover that your understanding of the situation was not realistic.
Something done in a hurry, prohibited by society and performed to derive some mean favor, often becomes a stumbling block, causing life long sorrow. Whatever happens in life, you are basically shy, unable to express your innermost feelings and thoughts or live a completely natural life.
If you examine carefully several horoscopes of persons born in Cancer Ascendant, you will invariably find that Jupiter in his Dasha has given rise to both good and bad results - bad in respect of debts, diseases and enemies. Though Jupiter may not cause Raja Yoga in the strict sense, as he promotes business and professional prospects involving you at the same time in misunderstandings, troubles, annoyances and ill-health.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '9 Ashlesha-3'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Ashlesha.
Character and general events: you will have difficulty showing gratitude. You may be of a duplicitous nature. You will possess the gift of intriguing speech. You have the qualifications of a leader, possibly as a politician. You will be very intelligent. There is also an indication of being soft spoken and meek. But your external shyness may be misunderstood by others as arrogance. You are not easily swayed by others. Be cautious of this trait when dealing with those of questionable character. You do not keep any distinction between rich or poor, good or bad.
You work well independently and would be suited towards managerial positions. You are not of a cheating nature, but are often mistaken by others. You have difficulty distinguishing between those who are truly in need and those who are not. You enjoy being recognized for your good deeds. You will be lucky and popular, but have difficulty controlling your temper. You may lose it at inappropriate times and remain silent when it may be necessary. You will have difficulty enjoying your fortune, mainly due to poor association. You will be the recipient of anonymous donations.
Education, sources of income/profession: you may have your education in arts or commerce. In the professional field, you will get speedy promotions and sudden reversals. A heavy loss of money at the age of 35 or36 is indicated and unexpected and unearned income when you are 40 years old.
Family life: you will have to shoulder much of the family responsibilities, due mainly to your being the eldest. You may experience some miscommunication with your spouse in the realm of finances.
Health: you may suffer from intestinal disorders. Be aware of addictive tendencies with intoxication.
General results of being born in Ashlesha Nakshatra: you will possess the quality of a penetrating glare.

Moon in 11th House
When the Moon occupies this house, you gain easy success. With the Sun in this position you have to work hard and the reward is not commensurate with your exertions. But in the case of the Moon, money flows to you easily, without much effort. You possess 'many ornaments and different kinds of precious stones.' Gifts from overseas come in abundance. Your mind is always free from worries, particularly if the planet is powerful and well aspected. You are blessed with a very efficient spouse and have many well-behaved children. Your social circle is amiable and friends occupy important positions in life. Your mother has a special affection for you, and you receive valuable gifts from her. Gains from government favor in respect of fame, authority and valuables are indicated. All your operations prove fruitless. You are blessed with daughters and gain from trade in a variety of items. Your daughters develop defects in themselves that may be physical or moral. Normally wealth does not stay with any one individual; but with you it brings more wealth. This is the house of friends, hopes and wishes; gains from business, profession, jewelry and elder brothers are indicated. Strong Moon in the 11th house makes you a treasurer or treasury officer.

Moon in Lunar Mansion '5 Mrigashira-2'
The star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Mrigashira.
You will have a beautiful and tall body, moderate complexion, thin legs and long arms. There is a peculiar tendency seen in you: you have a doubting nature, and are always suspicious of everything. You are very sincere in your dealings with others and you expect the same reciprocal sincerity from others which you normally do not get. Because of your sincere nature, others find it pleasant to deal with you.
But a word of precaution is necessary here; you have to be very careful while dealing with friends and relatives and also in any partnership business, as you may be cheated. Blind trust put on others will quite often lead you into frustration and repentance. You have a knack to deal with even those who ditch you. You have natural initiative, awareness, brilliancy of mind, eagerness and active agility, but as a result of your affectionate regard for others, you are buffeted by both circumstances and people.
You are a simpleton. You prefer a life of simplicity and principles. You always express impartial and sincere opinions. You can be impatient to the point of intolerance, when confronted with prejudice, judgment or action by others. While you express to respect and adopt others, it is never brought into your personal life. You act according to your own sweet will.
Outwardly, you express to the public, that you are courageous and will not hesitate to do anything which requires extreme courage, whereas you are an inborn coward. You will not have peace of mind and get irritated even on small matters. Your life up to 32 years of age will be full of trial and errors and would appear to be like a lost boat in the center of the ocean, i.e. the question of where to go, how to go and why to go will permanently rampage your mind without any conclusion. From your 32nd age onwards, life will start settling down to the maximum satisfaction provided other planetary positions are good.
You will have good education. You are a very good financial adviser. You advise others to curb the spending, but you cannot control the expenditure and at last find yourself in extreme economic conflict. You achieve success in life, including business if engaged, after the age of 32 years. Till that time you have to face several ups and downs. You often begin projects, rather than finishing the tediously routine tasks at hand. It is mainly due to percipience rather than weakness and above all your ability to understand the possibility of success or no success of a project in hand, discard it immediately and replace it with another which is more viable. In other words, you cannot undertake any permanent or continuing nature of work.
In some cases, it has been noticed that you have the capacity to undertake any sort of job but you become frustrated. This drawback is attributable to the nature of the very Nakshatra you are born.
The period between 33 years and 50 years will be a period of full of strength and activities followed with utmost satisfaction. During this period, you will achieve the benefits unexpectedly. But whatever you will be earning during this period, will be wasted later on due to your own fault.
No benefit will be derived from siblings. Siblings will not only cause troubles and problems, but also maintain extreme enmity so as to harm you. Your sincere love and affection will not have any effect on relatives. In other words, you are mistaken absolutely for no fault of your own.
Your spouse may not keep good health. Moreover, your married life is not cordial, mainly due to differences of opinion on silly matters, and the adamant nature of your spouse. In some cases, it is seen that the reason for the disharmony between you is mainly due to the better occupation in life by one of you, and the consequent inferiority complex.
You have to face ill-health during your childhood. Frequent constipation, ultimately leading to stomach disorder, cuts and injuries, and pains in the shoulders near collarbone are some of the physical problems you may have to deal with.
Mars in Libra 20°58'26"
You are very exacting, like a scientist. You get much opposition and rivalry. Gains through the opposite sex. Reverses through business and love affairs. Blessed with noble offspring. You may indulge in a negative business or deals in something against the common current of 'goodness'. An able speaker, fortunate, some problem in a limb, few relatives, fond of wars, loses first spouse. Mars in Libra makes you a bit of a wanderer. Sometimes you lose in business attempts, probably due to pushing too hard where it just won't work. You are aggressive about justice. You like battles or competition, and you may have more than one marriage. You may have a business that others look down on.

Mars enables you to gain much wealth and property. Your children are very active and bright and you will be willing to sacrifice wealth and comfort to any cause which arouses your sympathies. You will be devoted to religion and the elderly, and will have the best cars as well as the best property. You always seem happy and joyous.
Mars in 4th House
Mars precipitates the impact of past karmic deeds, especially those of an adverse nature. Ordinarily, Mars is a planet of selfishness, greed and rash action, which, in the long run, catches up with you in the form of physical or psychological problems. Mars creates impatience, impulsiveness and self-centeredness, unless it receives auspicious aspects or is in exaltation or in its own sign. As a result, you may be considered cruel, inflexible and covetous by nature. Under such circumstances, Mars may produce affliction for the mother, loss of property, dependence on manual labor to earn a livelihood and constant movement from one place to another. Generally, you are not born into a respectable family, are abandoned by siblings, favor bad company and involve yourself in tawdry sexual affairs. You earn your living by serving bad people. Don't expect much gain through friends and relatives. You are apprehensive of enemies, get government favor, doles of clothes and fabric through the rich. Mars in this house denotes quarrels with parents, disputes in family, unpleasant domestic affairs leading to misunderstandings and strife. NOTE: Understand that this is a negative Mars placement, as Mars by its nature is not very compatible with the nature of the sensitive fourth house, and take the things mentioned in here as areas to look to for these impacts, but not necessarily as 'drastically' as they are described.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '16 Vishakha-1'

Rahu in Taurus 19°50'48"
Rahu in Taurus with Cancer ascendent
Rahu is considered exalted in this sign and may produce a genuine saint. You are powerfully psychic, and your higher consciousness is not displayed merely on the periphery of life but becomes a source of inspiration for your altruistic work. Often you suffer in life, and out of your suffering comes an aura of spirituality which finally becomes a palpable force emanating from you. You do not enjoy physical comforts, and you are totally persistent in your mission. You never rest till you have wrested the nectar of life from nature.
Rahu in 11th House
Rahu is powerful to provide material prosperity when it is in the 11th house. However, you may lack modesty. You can control your desires and activities when you want to. You are very wise, though you don't speak much, preferring definite results before spending speaking energy. Therefore, you are a master at strategy, where forethought and tongue-holding is required, and also a good commander, and possibly a writer. You live away from your birth land, and mix well with foreigners and drifters.
The way you earn money is hard to predict because you might be dealing in ways that others are not aware of, except those with whom you deal. If other favorable conditions are present, this is very good for becoming an eminent philosopher, expounding your thoughts effectively. Rahu in the 11th gives rise to Raja Yoga during Rahu's periods. Rahu in the 11th means gains through foreigners. Though you respect the really learned, you yourself are often found in a level of code or conduct just below the standard that you respect. Therefore, while you may associate with priests, you yourself may instead prefer to have intense business dealings, for example.
This Rahu is not good for gaining status, but does indicate success in various ways. Try to protect your hearing as it indicates trouble there. This Rahu protects against harm in general. Rahu in the 11th gives you faithful friends who are astrologers and the like. You can succeed in both business or service. The separation from an elder brother may become a burden. Marriage is indicated at age 27, life 'begins' at age 28, and there will be sudden gain of wealth at age 42.

Ketu in Scorpio 19°50'48"
Ketu in Scorpio with Cancer ascendent
Your gaze will be toward the heavens. Spiritual achievements in accord with the basic nature of the birth chart will be likely. You will live a strictly personalized life, but will be available to others for any help needed, though in your approach you may be very unorthodox.
Ketu in 5th House
Ketu in the 5th house makes you have such unusual urges that you become a very original but shocking thinker, which causes you trouble with others. There is some abnormality with the children or between you and your children. You become so affected by some of your thoughts that your own goals get blurred and you suffer psychological instability. Yet, you are powerful in some way mentally, and you at times have power over others. Your brothers suffer trouble from weapons. You suffer from your own thoughts.
You have one or two children. In spite of great vigor you remain in service of others. You get hurt by falling from a high position. You have disputes and discussions with associates. You are crafty, jealous, weak, timid and impatient. You can sermonize well and have an inclination for holy pilgrimage and foreign travel. Knowledge and learning may be denied at times. You get land, wealth or business opportunities. Either having or staying with the children is difficult or you get separated from them due to circumstances. You are disobedient and meet with troubles thereby. Some harm comes from your excess or irregular pleasures.
