Lagna in Cancer 10°32'33"
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are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you.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-3'
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.
Sun in Sagittarius 21°16'49"
Wealthy, devoted, sharp, a warrior, tactful, calm, charming, strong, helpful and respectful towards religious leaders and clansmen. Inventor or discoverer, intuitive and mystical.

Sun in Sagittarius with Cancer ascendent
You may acquire huge loans.
You are not necessarily robust and may have fragile health, or suffer from indigence, a limited education, and inability to secure a powerful career. You may undergo serious illnesses, surgery, and a disturbed emotional life. The Sun in Sagittarius will retrieve from the karmic past the courage and perceptive faculties which can withstand the severest spiritual trials. Under this influence, you are extremely empathic.
Sun in 6th House
The Sun produces a very deep-rooted impact. It destroys all impediments to the flowering of your innermost uniqueness. When the solar rays sparkle and strengthen the soul, no other conditioning can obstruct its clear impulses. The inner person must have its way; external conditions must adjust to inner ones, and thus they dissipate and fall asunder. From an ordinary point of view, this may seem to be a destruction of physical and social barriers. But this placement enables you to achieve victory over enemies, a successful termination of litigation and disputes, and effective solutions to financial difficulties.
However, there may be kidney troubles or other such ailments, especially of the navel region. Psychological maturity and self-reliance are acquired along with a feeling of personal isolation. At times, even the government is unhelpful and antagonistic. You may decide to live away from your homeland. With this combination, a very enigmatic situation arises: people at large express tremendous goodwill and sympathy for you, but they cannot establish empathy. Thus you may sometimes find yourself on the psychoanalyst's couch unless your natal chart is basically strong.
The sixth house is both for friends and enemies, health and sickness, attachment and hatred, maternal relatives, cousins, servants and inferiors. Its results are full of opposites - sharpness of the opposites is felt according to the influence of the planet, its association, conjunction, or as aspected.
The 6th house protects against enemy, sickness, sorrow and debt. So you are a destroyer of enemies; a friend of friends. But it also indicates troubles for the maternal uncle and his family. Animals like cows and buffaloes cause great loss, sometimes financially also. Danger to life can come from sharp-horned animals. During travel, you may be attacked by tribals or robbed by thieves.
You are strong, happy, rich and are respected in society. You may be a glutton and very passionate. But you are gentle and known by your qualities. You are a leader or either a general or a judge. You are wise and a well wisher of your family. You tend to be thin, lean and healthy. You build property and are helped by your maternal uncles. You will be very libidinous, have powerful digestive fire (i.e. capable of digesting fast), are affluent, famous for virtues and might be an army chief.
Financial success, disease of the eyes in the 20th year, happiness, affectionate disposition etc., will follow. You will spend money to save others from legal punishments or spend for friends in general. There will be troubles for the mother's family (i.e. maternal uncle and other such relatives). You may be subjected to danger from quadrupeds or lose on account of thefts.
You will be of Yogic disposition, be intelligent, will keep brothers and relatives happy, be emaciated, very beautiful in appearance, will inherit through maternal relatives, will gather lands and other properties, will keep your promise, will gain through sons, be happy by the prosperity of progeny and will help even enemies and thereby derive satisfaction. You may suffer breakage of teeth by wood or by stone or incur pains in legs and your end may come through poison, weapon, thirst, hunger, enemies or vices.

You will be content, and blessed with general happiness from having received all the necessities of life. This Moon gives you interest in getting your life together more so than making a novel contribution to the society at large. It gives you interest in things like poetry, chemistry, medicine and social work.

Possible avenues of gain indicated are Moon-related such as diamonds, land, trade, money lending, and many other sources. The 5th house stands for children, enterprise, speculations, gains, love affairs, and other things, and so you will find that your mind gravitates to these things.
