Lagna in Cancer 2°04'20"
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are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you.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 '7 Punarvasu-4'
Your Ascendant or Moonstar is Punarvasu.
Physical features: handsome, long thighs and long face. Some identification mark on the face or on the back side of head. Character and general events: you will complete faith in God. You are religiously inclined. Initially you will have good behavior, but later on according to the circumstances you may change your behavior. Therefore, others have to be careful while approaching you. It is very difficult to know your inner thought. You are contented with little but at the same time you are hot tempered. You stick to ancient tradition and belief. You will not stand a party to any illegal activities and will try to resist others from doing so. You do not like to cause trouble to others, on the other hand you try to help the needy. You will lead a simple life.
Education, sources of earning/profession: you can shine and get success in almost all the subjects, except in partnership business. You can attain much name and fame as a teacher or as an actor, writer, physician etc. Period up to 32 years of age may be difficult; as a result try to avoid any major business dealings until after that year. You may not be in a position to accumulate wealth but you can attain public honor. You may have a lack of business trick and inherent straightforwardness. One peculiar expression can be seen in your face i.e. an innocent and frustrated look.
Family life: you are the most obedient child of your parents. You respect your father and mother as your teachers. Married life may be difficult. You may divorce or have another marriage. Your first spouse may have a weak constitution, and will be a good partner. Frequent friction between other family members may take place. The combination of these factors may cause much stress.
Health: there will not be any serious health problems, but tend to all health problems seriously. You will have a strong digestion.
Sun in Cancer 27°46'56"
This brings the following general characteristics, which get modified by specific aspects and other placements in your chart: You may experience fluctuating commitment to your activities and undertakings, but your overall attractive personality and qualities will make you well liked, you may find that you totally dislike your birth family or that 'whole scene' or even your country. You will probably be good looking, but you may have troubles from imbalances inside the body, related to digestion and you may experience distress from too much hard work. You will like intoxication, but will be virtuous, honorable and eloquent. You may have talent in the areas of time, space, science, geography, cartography, navigation, etc.
Sun in Cancer with Cancer ascendent
You will suffer physical ailments and be irascible.
Attracts you to your family.
You may be wealthy and have a powerful personality. Opinionated, always thinking that you can do no wrong. Passionate, but unable to establish a cooperative partnership with your spouse. You undertake long and weary journeys and are made to work for others.
Sun in House 1
The Sun in the Rising Sign symbolizes progress and good luck. The Sun in Summer Solstice brings disputes and makes you egocentric and selfish. The Sun in winter solstice promotes divinity. Exalted, well-aspected or associated Sun develops faith and confidence, coupled with natural ambition; bestows position of trust and influence; supports moral growth. The person with the Sun in the rising sign is tall, distressed with the spouse, children and brethren.
You suffer from excess bile and windy diseases and when in foreign land, from the financial ups and downs. You may have a poor appetite, are bold, modest, an actor, studious, have beautiful eyes, are diligent and well-placed. You may be lazy in function, give vent to anger, have a prominent personality, be honorable, courageous, impatient and unkind. You will be happy in money matters (though there may be occasional obstacles) and overall be happy.
You will have less number of children and will suffer from eye ailments. You will be fond of quarrels, dance, literature etc.. and be strong. Your body may be thin or emaciated and you are bald or have thin hair. You will speak only when required.
The Sun in the Ascendant will afflict virility, hence with simultaneous affliction to Jupiter, progeny may be few in numbers. Otherwise, with favorable Jupiter, the Sun in the Ascendant will totally deprive one of progeny.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '9 Ashlesha-4'
Moon in Capricorn 26°57'33"
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 House 7
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 '23 Dhanishtha-2'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Dhanishtha.
Normally, you have a lean body with lengthy figure. In exceptional cases you may have a stout figure. You will be expert in all work you undertake. You have an extremely intelligent mind and all around knowledge. You do not like to cause any trouble to others. It has been seen that you have a religious spirit. You always like to live by your own caliber and effort. You dislike to express disagreement with others till the last moment. Most of us are probably aware of the elephant's revenge. That is, if any person or any animal cause trouble to the elephant, the elephant waits for an opportunity to bounce on them. In the same way you wait for an opportunity to pounce on others with whom you have a score to settle.
A number of horoscopes that I have examined reveal that most scientists and historians are born in this Nakshatra. Since there is an inherent talent of keeping secrets, you are quite suitable for secret service, or being a private secretary to senior executives. Whatever may be your academic background your intelligence is beyond question. In argument you are much ahead of others. Hence lawyers profession is the best for you. After age 24, there be progress in the earning field. Since you will be engaged in the profession or trade where you have to trust others, you should be very careful before putting trust in others. In the family circle you will be the uppermost administrator. Your relatives will cause a lot of embarrassment and problems. You are more inclined to brothers and sisters. You will have ample inherited property subject to the placement of planets in beneficial position. You cannot have much benefit from in-laws. But this drawback will be nullified due to the presence of the good qualities of your spouse. Any improvement in the financial field will be only after marriage.
Your health may not be so good at times. But even then you will not care about it. It is only when the illness reaches the peak you start finding a remedy. Slightest improvement out of the severest disease will drag you to the work field. You are prone to coughs, anemia etc. However, you will not be in a prolonged state of illness.
You are wealthy and credulous. You will have large thighs and neck and be joyful. You may be affected with jaundice and severe fever at 20 years old, and severe affliction to some parts of the body at 25 years. Regardless of these mishaps you will meet death at 90 years old in the month of August-September.
Mars in Libra 16°00'13"
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 in Libra with Cancer ascendent
Raja Yoga. You may have many female children or dependents.
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 House 4
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 '15 Swati-3'

It often happens, that lost wealth is gained again under the impact of Mercury; the wealth is regained by your own efforts and often as a result of your learning and educational abilities. You speak cleverly and skillfully and may take up the profession as a writer, businessman, principal, professor, or director of a company. Good for gaining wealth in general, this placement promotes conjugal pleasure, eloquent, critic of books, smartness and good learning in the early part of life. Gains through letters (college degrees), writings, lecturing, traveling, clerical jobs, commission agents, small commercial transactions, advertising, stationery orders and supply, books etc. and through jobs corresponding to the nature of the planet in good aspect or according to the sign it occupies.

Saturn in House 8
Saturn in the eighth house puts a powerful lid on past auspicious influences, forcing you to meet the everyday trials of life with no help from past Karma. Under such rigorous conditions you become bewildered, having been abandoned by relations, abused and tormented through no apparent fault of your own, and put to physical hardships which require great stamina to bear. In some cases, finding your helplessness acute, you begin to seek pleasure through dissipation, though under favorable circumstances you may begin pursuing an arduous spiritual path which, though it may not eliminate sorrow from your life, may reveal the deeper meaning that life and destiny awaits you after your period of trial.

Ketu in this sign makes you efficient in your work, but you have the ethics of practicality and not of absolute truth. Your pragmatic attitude towards life raises you in public esteem, but in your heart you are a lonely person.
Ketu in House 12
In your mind you think of spiritual life as real and true and so you know that material life is not the aim of life. This comes gradually as you get older, as material expectations are one by one ruled out as unfulfilling. Therefore, gradually through life, you spend more of your time and energy towards serving good causes.
Also, in an attempt to sort things out in this transition, you become restless, and sometimes try to spend for pleasure, only to feel increased frustration.
