Lagna in Cancer 21°35'55"
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are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you.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-2'
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.
Sun in Aquarius 27°12'13"
Your Sun's position pushes you towards illicit romantic liaisons, which you will have to struggle to avoid. Watch for heart trouble. You may find that your past dealings with others leave you in a position, where others see you as unpopular, and to be avoided. The best way to avoid this is to avoid its cause, which is a tendency to dominate and manipulate, caused by having a very strong thinking capacity, which may put you over others who are simpler in mind. Watch for these tendencies during Sun ruled periods. If not major Sun period comes in the current life, then perhaps these things will not ever manifest very. You have great strength and courage, but a short temper. In some way or at one point in life you will gain through other peoples' marriage partners. If this only comes once in life, then it is of little concern. Otherwise, this may indicate the ability to be a divorce attorney, marriage counselor, etc. Due to something you believe or do, you may be not liked by the truly learned, probably due to some connection with 'lowliness'. There is an underlying current of unhappiness or sorrow running through your life. This is not necessarily bad, as it may push you on towards spirituality for answers. However, this Sun indicates some low vibrations in Aquarius, so watch out for being fraudulent, a traitor, dirty or miserly.
Sun in Aquarius with Cancer ascendent
You may be either short-lived or will not inherit any property from your father.
The Sun in this sign will bring a legacy and occult interests. Death will occur in old age through fever.
Sun in House 8
In general, the Sun in this house makes you lean and thin, mentally unusual, disliked and abandoned by relations. But if the zodiacal sign is supportive, the solar influence here may lead to much interest in spirituality or the process of initiation.
The Sun of the 8th house is mostly malefic, as it is posited in a bad house. This house denotes wills, legacies, chronic diseases, loss of wealth, extravagance, suits and quarrels, death, co-workers and occult matters. Planets occupying this house incline to an interest in occult science; if without a planet, life runs on conventional lines till the ruler receives strong aspects. You are a crafty impostor and lewd. Life is hard and difficult.
You travel widely and associate with low class persons, eat unscrupulously, squander away wealth or loose it by theft. Secret vice brings infectious diseases and poor health. You can neither make others' life happy, nor, your own. Possibility of sudden or early death is indicated.

Absence of offspring, weak sight, wealth, violence, sickness and hard work are indicated. You are neither rich nor happy, and might suffer the loss of some dear one. Generally you are less wise, short-tempered and of poor mental and physical health. These are the disqualifications for a successful and happy life. You are fickle-minded but generous, and ready to serve the wise and learned. You tend to be characterless, prudent, talkative, long-lived and serve the low caste, get little happiness from sons, suffer from eye troubles and get a wound or boil on the head during the 10th year.
Note: With the Sun in the 8th house, you will always undergo miseries, will establish relationships with persons of foreign origin, will lose wealth in thefts, will face severe and secretive dangers, will have a beautiful physique akin to that of (waxing) moon, will incur financial danger from all sides, have a weak sight and physical distress, will contact incurable venereal diseases, will always fight with others, will have few friends and some wealth, will not be steady in the career and only have limited progeny, but be a skillful astrologer.

Moon in House 4

A sympathetic chord resounds when we meet someone with the Moon in this house. The depth of the ocean is in your eyes, and the tranquillity of your disposition can quiet the most turbulent emotions in others. Motherly affection, nice cars, pleasant travel and universal respect give a sense of contentment which makes you non-competitive with others.
You are popular among relations and loved by the opposite sex. You are affluent, but often afflicted by physical problems. Your mother will be short-lived if the Moon is in the 4th house. The native with the Moon in this position always becomes a great authority with the help of brethren. Early life is not very happy and smooth.

The 4th house stands for and can give information about your environment, home, parents and their end of life - especially your mother's. If a strong Moon is posited here, you are powerful, with a rank like a treasurer, youthful with pleasant spouse and children and plenty of prosperity. You are helpful to friends, favor adulteresses and can get sicknesses from food. You live in palatial houses and are charitable. You might gain from marine trade including fishery, pearls and shells as well as from the import and export of goods or from agriculture.
You are devoted to God and godly people. If your Moon is full, you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Your mother may have been ailing, so you might have been breastfed by a nurse. You are virtuous, large-hearted, a person of authority, melancholic, learned, well-versed in scriptures and fortunate. If the Moon is in a movable sign, you have to change residence frequently.

You are charitable, fond of traveling by water and will neither be very happy nor be miserable, in other words, you will be free from the excesses of happiness and unhappiness. Because you have a balanced position in regards to this aspect, you tend to have a peaceful and stressfree mindset.
You will gain position through relatives, will occupy good positions in banks, financial institutions etc. You will be learned, addicted to the opposite sex, endowed with various kinds of wealth, might sometimes eat non-vegetarian items and will live in beautiful abodes.

Mars in House 7
Whatever the status of Mars in this house, it spoils marital pleasure; sometimes you experiences physical abuse from the marriage partner. You are liable to undergo serious surgical operations. You do not return soon from abroad - though marriage is fixed or there is being definite gain in business.
You are vanquished repeatedly, have troublesome opponents and experience loss of partner, mortification through injustice, worries and enemies, and are dwelling in foreign land. You might give up your business. Your impetuous and excessive love is responsible for suffering. Pain through separation from spouse and children is indicated. You may want to be in every industry or business and fail everywhere.
From age18 to 36 some stability is shown. Your spouse tends to be good, quarrelsome and dominating. There might be ailments of the hands and stomach. You are intelligent and have many brothers, uncles and aunts. An afflicted Mars in this house denotes quarrels and discord with spouse. You might be separated from your partner, because he/she is of unrestrained and passionate nature.
Even if Mars is well-aspected this is not a desirable placement for harmony in marriage life. You tend to extremes and excesses in affections and emotions. Mars in a female chart shows a masculine and forceful character; in a male chart it shows force as energy and enterprise. The sign occupied by Mars in this house is very important.
You have few friends and experience little happiness through your spouse. Your spouse might have few brothers or none. Mars in the 7th house is good for doctors, as it favors surgery. Lawyers gain from criminal cases. It is also a favorable placement for mechanics, engineers, turners, fitters, drivers, police and other administrative officers, especially, if the colleague is of the opposite sex. There will be opposition between the officers and subordinates.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '22 Shravana-2'
Mercury in Aquarius 3°26'34"
Overall you are rather intelligent and have an attraction to electronic gadgetry like computers and stereos. You tend to believe in higher spiritual forces and you are an independent thinker. You draw intelligence from the space where one knows that everything vanishes in time and that the greater, larger, picture is what is important.
Mercury in Aquarius with Cancer ascendent
You have difficulties arising from siblings and colleagues. Marriage will be strained in some way, denying a comfortable home life. Your father may suffer, but you may gain an inheritance from him, however little it may be.
Mercury in House 8
Mercury has the special characteristic of retrieving from past influences things which strengthen the mind, as a result of which you are able to cultivate relationships which are conducive to material prosperity, eminent status, and considerable wealth. Under this impulse, you are able to explore mystical, virgin areas of nature which open up exceptional opportunities in life.
On the physical plane, however, you beget very few children and suffer from stomach and thigh ailments. This position of Mercury is gainful, as it gives longevity, prosperity, land and property. You may have several children and get high status at age 25. Government favors and annihilation of the enemy are indicated.
You are glorious, enjoy a long life and are renowned in own and foreign land. You are cheerful, gain through business and enjoy the pleasure and confidence of the opposite sex.

You will confront many difficulties, and will succeed in the manifestation of certain memorable aspects of life. You will, however, be involved in several mundane responsibilities, as a result of which you will have very little time for self-improvement.
Jupiter in House 9
Jupiter in the ninth house is very good for religion. It makes you attracted to rituals, observances, study of scripture and good association with others into these things. However, it also gives attraction to material achievement, recognition and status. You must learn that this later quality distracts from the earlier mentioned good qualities. Then only can religion be purified. Jupiter in the 9th is good for fame and prosperity, and means that you will visit sacred places, be charming, happy, skilled, perform sacrifice, and receive divine knowledge. It is one of the best possible Karmas because it represents being near to the end of cycles of birth and death. It will take care of you in many ways. It is not such a good indicator for the material father however. It makes you interested in devotion, and able to perform austerity, and be saintly and noble. You will probably at some point receive honor and servants. Jupiter in the 9th house will cause you to one day own a nice house and enjoy the respect of the higher class. You revere the saintly persons and say your prayers. You paint your house red, yellow and green. You receive support from authorities. You can be deeply arrogant however, and sometimes a real lush, performing little penance. You may end up an ascetic, virtuous, learned, observing fasts.

Venus in Capricorn with Cancer ascendent
Venus will enable you to acquire much wealth and property after marriage. The spouse will be highly accomplished. Together you will be able to accumulate much property.
Venus in House 7
Venus makes you skilled in the erotic arts. Partners in love, as well as in business, are very cooperative and harmoniously related to you. Unless Venus is badly aspected or afflicted, the marriage partner is honest, attractive, and well-mannered. You are very sensual, have many sons and plenty of wealth. Your partner might be from an aristocratic family. You are prosperous and cheerful, artistic, lustful, inactive, suspicious and into aquatic sports.

Venus in Lunar Mansion '23 Dhanishtha-2'
Saturn in Scorpio 26°00'32"
Hasty, stubborn, jealous, acquisitive, influential, vain, greedy, success in cheating others, danger from poison or arms. Many losses and ill health, interest in geology and chemistry. Gains through hard work.
Saturn in Scorpio with Cancer ascendent
May cause death by drowning.
You will have many difficulties. Your acquisitive tendencies will be thwarted and even close associates will shun you. Material deprivation and self-centeredness will eventually cause your ego to shatter, so that you must give up your egocentric shell just to subsist in the world.
Saturn in House 5
Saturn constricts where it influences. In the fifth house, it restricts the children, makes childbirth difficult, or makes children seem restrictive and troublesome to you. It brings unhappiness with life. You are self-destructive towards spousal relationships. The education has breaks. What others see as high ideals may not inspire you. You are likely to be in manual labor, not caring for common law, and lacking finances. Unfortunate in love relationships, you prefer those who are senior in age and manner. You like those who are religious. You may feel unsuccessful in your pursuit of prayer because you feel unworthy which, giving you a feeling of not achieving your religious goal (which is philosophically a great thing as feeling successful in religion is ridiculous to those who know it well). You feel your mind is impure and you have disputes with friends. All this adds up to you becoming really religious. Trouble comes to the children and to yourself because of doubts or wrong advice. You are negative about the rich, and grief comes from friends. Your deep thoughts may be of such a nature as to make you not caring for friends so much, not willing to be relied on, and thus an unknown. This you may take as inevitable or even welcome.
Saturn in Lunar Mansion '18 Jyeshtha-3'
You may have more than one marriage, and may have trouble finding happiness. Your first marriage may occur at 22, and you may be influenced by the poor qualities of your spouse.
Rahu in Taurus 20°16'51"
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 House 11
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.
Rahu in Lunar Mansion '4 Rohini-4'
You should be careful while traveling as you are prone to accidents. Injury, particularly in the neck, is indicated. You will have an interest in composing poetry and may become a famous poet despite your lack of academic excellence.
Ketu in Scorpio 20°16'51"
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 House 5
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.
