Lagna in Cancer 5°59'50"
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are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you.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 '8 Pushya-1'
Your Ascendant or Moonstar is called Pushya.
Physical features: there may be a distinguishing mark, scar or a black mole on the face. Character and general events: you may have an indecisive nature. You will act properly in most situations, but be cautious of acting selfishly. You may possess a naturally duplicitous nature. For some reason, due to past lives, or due to parental influence you may be very needy and desire more attention than you are able to distribute. You respond quickly to admiration and become quickly deflated by criticism, giving yourself to love and affection with sincerity and appreciation, yet you are ever mindful of slights and hesitate to form strong attachments. As already explained above, the inherent freedom available in all walks of life may lead you to bad company. You must be cautious of friends. You will be fond of good clothes.
Education, sources of earning/profession: you will jump upon any work without judging or thinking whether you are capable. Be cautious of this trait, it may have detrimental effects. You may not be a good anticipator, you are very good in certain work and sweet words are a natural expression for you. It would be better if you assessed your capacity and ability for the specific field where you can excel and then start doing the job. If that is done, nobody on earth can stop you in achieving the best result. One of the plus points for you is that you are not vulnerable to defeat and you push your way up through several obstacles. Even if you do not have any basic education, you will show extra-ordinary intelligence and knowledge on any matter of discussion. Another plus point for you is that you resist any idea or work which is not ethical. You may be of the opinion that all wrong doers must be punished. You will carry out any work entrusted to you with the utmost sincerity and certainty. Be cautious of an independent nature, which may effect the results of your work. Your abilities are many faceted but your success lies probable in the theater or arts or in commerce. There is an indication of poverty up to the age of 15 to16, improvement comes and will go up and down until the age of 32. From the age of 33 years on, there will be remarkable all round improvements i.e. economically, socially and in health. You may leave your home in order earn a living. You will normally undertake work where maximum traveling is involved.
Family life: there may be some problems in the family circle and you may have to depend on others for even day-to-day requirements. Due to this dependency during childhood you may become quite independent when you grow up. Circumstances may also warrant that you will be separated from your spouse and children even though you are attached to them. You may expect your spouse to be thoroughly self sufficient, with creditable talents and to be correct and conservative in manner and dress. You will be attached to your parents.
Health: be cautious of health problems in childhood.

Placement of Sun in second house suggests that the native will be quite generous and compassionate in nature. Moreover, they are likely to be successful in money matters. Their efforts get a lot of recognition and respect. Such people have great leadership skills thus often enjoy a good position in authority. Their leadership skills also fetch them a good income. Sun in 2nd house also means the native enjoys an enviable social position and commands a lot of respect from others.
Individuals having such a placement have an insatiable desire for power and a strong sense of self-worth. Their energy is driven towards attaining power in the form of acquiring possessions, a hefty bank balance, and talent. While they tend to earn well, they have a tendency to spend extravagantly.
The royal streak in these natives makes them lord over things and people, which should be avoided to lead a better social life. As per classic Vedic scriptures, these persons tend to be a little too much straightforward. Moreover, they struggle to learn and acquire new skills. Some speech disorder such as stammering is also likely to natives having Sun in 2nd house.

Sexy, jealous, gains and success through others, grants wealth and attendants. You are honest and generous, blessed with children, a scholar. Calculating in money matters. A good singer, susceptible to ill effects from coldness or cold things, fond of truth and charity, distinguished, famous, libidinous, unkind and shameless, may reach for things out of reach, or try to take that which is not rightfully yours, poetic and of low enthusiasm.
Moon in Capricorn with Cancer ascendent
You are vulnerable to manipulation by the opposite sex, for you are easily controlled by those whom you desire.
Moon in 7th House
You are passionate, possessing an attractive spouse from whom you acquire much wealth. There will be gain from voyaging, trade, speculation, water products and partnership; on land, from grocery shop, milk and milk products, chemist shop and hotel industry. You could be a commission agent or insurance agent. Avoid litigation, as Moon in the 7th house causes trouble and loss through it. You marry a devoted spouse who is also very healthy. Such a spouse alone can give full sexual pleasure. Gains from sale and purchase, roving on land or foreign trade abroad are indicated. You enjoy tasty food, are sensual, thin and lean and vanquished by the enemy. The 7th house denotes marriage, partnership and enemies etc. You are handsome, healthy, wealthy and wise, famous, kind, always traveling, itinerant, dominated by spouse and debauch. If exalted or full, this Moon gives a beautiful and charming spouse, and you yourself are wealthy and handsome. If this Moon is in depression, aspected or associated with a malefic, you know no peace or happiness in life. Marriage after age 32 to an unchaste person is indicated. You are sweet and soft-spoken, own a palatial home and might have two marriages, if the Lord is strong. If the Moon is exalted, full, or in its own sign it will give one marriage and you tend to be contented with one spouse only. You will be amiable, happy, will possess a good physique and be sensuously disposed. If the weak Moon be so posited, you will be pitiable and sick. Notes: If the Moon is in the 7th one will be happy in marriage, will earn wealth in business in foreign places, will enjoy food, will sexually enjoy many partners, will be very sensuous and be liberal. There is difference of opinion among the various authors inasmuch as some say there will be wealth with this placement while yet others say this position will cause poverty. It obviously depends on the state and Lordship of the Moon.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '21 Uttara Ashadha-3'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Uttara Ashadha.
You have a well-proportioned, tall body with a broad head, long nose and bright eyes. You are of charming and graceful appearance with fair complexion. You will be refined, soft-spoken, pure-hearted and have an innocent looking countenance. In case you happen to occupy a very high position in society, you will not like to express pomp and show and will dress simply. You give respect to all and are God-fearing. It is not easy for others to find out your underlying merits and demerits. It is only after several acquaintances and dealings one can come to a conclusion about your behavioral aspect. In most of the cases, it has been noticed that there will be a black mole around your waist or on the face. A slight reddish color is noticed in your eyes.
You will be very plain in your dealings and will show utmost sincerity in all the work you undertake. You will not deceive others and would not like to cause any trouble to others. So much so, due to your inherent good behavior quality you often land into uncalled for problems. While you are plain hearted, you will not give in to any pressure and will not bestow full confidence on anybody. But once you take a person into confidence nobody can change you. To a certain extent, you are slave to flattery and expect that others must look after your welfare. You will not make any hasty decision, whereas full consultation with trusted persons will be obtained before coming to a conclusion.
While you are very much involved in all activities you undertake, usually you are lazy. Even in the state of conflict you cannot utter harsh words directly and in spite of a difference of opinion you will not like to express your unhappiness to others. Any discussion you make with others will be without expressing ill-will. You are bound to shoulder many responsibilities at a young age. Due to this you are fully trained to shoulder any responsibility with perfection. Once you are convinced that any action carried out by you or words uttered by you happens to be wrong you will not hesitate to repent and express regret. Your every action requires recognition by others. Otherwise, you are dragged into the state of unhappiness. You are subjected to maximum happiness at one stage and the maximum unhappiness at the next. You have to be very careful in any controversial dealings. Before any collaboration is made, you have to completely screen the persons with whom you are entering into such collaboration. Otherwise, failure is certain. The time after the age of 38 years will mark all-round success and prosperity.
Normally your childhood will be somewhat better. But later on you may have to face a lot of unexpected reversals and problems on the family front. It has been noticed that between the age of 28 and 31 some important change takes place in the family circle. Your married life will be more or less very good. You normally get a responsible and loving spouse. At the same time the health of your spouse will be a cause of concern. Your spouse will have problems of acidity. In spite of the comparative advantages mentioned above, you lack happiness from children and they will be a main cause of concern.
You are prone to stomach problems, paralysis of limbs, and pulmonary diseases. Poor eyesight or some defect in the eyes is indicated as well.
Lower half of the body is lean and upper part proportionately bigger and thick. You are afraid of cold weather or your health will not permit you to stay in cold regions. You will have a high fever continuing for a longer period when you are 20 years old. The left parts of your body will be subjected to burns at 35 years old, but you will live for 90 years.
