Lagna in Cancer 22°04'01"
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are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you.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.

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.

Rahu in House 12
Rahu in the twelfth house of redemption makes the physical life difficult and upsets all established order. The expected course of life is not followed and you are forced to adopt a way of life in which there is much suffering, physical debility and psychological helplessness. Your movement is restricted, and mental anguish often becomes acute. But the ordeals of life caused by Rahu provide you with the celestial nectar.

After a big psychological purging, you receive a spiritual bath and are anointed into the secret mysteries of life. From the material standpoint, Rahu in the twelfth house is considered inauspicious, suggesting that the purging operation manifests through immoral acts and unfortunate events. In the ordeal of the spiritual path, such difficulties are necessary. Rahu functions as a karmic agent, producing trials so that the latent spirituality which is the true influence of the twelfth house may emerge. You are miserable, and however hard you may work, you do not get any success or gain, rather suffer losses, but ultimately you succeed in your desires and ambitions. You are the friend of the wicked and knave and enemy of the good and noble. You are very humble.

You have sharp pain in ribs and suffer from acute bilious pain in the chest and heart. With best effort you can not modify your early life, but the latter part is most fruitful. You are quarrelsome, idle, a debtor, cunning, immodest, rich, benevolent, and may suffer from ailment of the eyes, a wound in the feet, and a slur on the family. You waste away your time and energy, but you can meet your demand if you stay in one place. Much traveling and separation from spouse and family are indicated. You may be ugly and shabby. Beware of being robbed by lowly tribals.

You might be separated from your maternal uncle. You feel repentant after losing temper. You are inert, weak, hostile to relatives, and tend to cheat and ill-spend money. You are very handsome, and prosperous but suffer from opthalmia or iritis. You have few sons and troubles and punishment are indicated . This Rahu denotes gain through social affairs, and is good for spiritualism. Your birth may have been unnatural.

Ketu in Sagittarius 25°56'08"
Ketu in Sagittarius with Cancer ascendent
Ketu in this position produces penury but favors enlightenment. There are many hostile forces against you; humiliated, scandalized, and subjected to social obloquy, but you attain supreme detachment almost to the extent of desirelessness. You are unique in many ways.
Ketu in House 6
Ketu in this position affects the mental principle and enables you to develop the powers of abstract thinking. Deeper levels of contemplation, often leading to the higher realms where one solves the abstruse problems of one's inner life, may result from such a combination. Under this planetary influence you may achieve a remarkable conceptualization of abstract principles and a formulation of universal laws, but the problems of life are likely to mar your thinking. The final days are often sorrowful, full of physical suffering and a realization of the futility of human endeavor.

You experience enormous difficulties in life, and considerable humiliation during major periods of your earthly existence. It denotes discomfiture and disillusionment through maternal uncle and destruction of enemies. You might get some land-related wealth, but stay a pauper anyway. You have sound health and recover soon, if there is any ailment.

You get little gain, success and pleasure from the maternal in-laws. You possess animals or the means of business, or conveyances. You tend to be free from sickness, worry and wealth. You are successful in most heated debates and discussions. You are dear to relatives, large-hearted, skilled, reputed, and receive honor and fame through knowledge.

Some financial gain is indicated. You are firm, a high officer, and enjoy expediency. Trouble in teeth and lips are indicated and you may suffer from physical affliction. You might have unfaithful servants and at time experience losses through small animals; beware of danger from insects, reptiles or animals.
Ketu in Lunar Mansion '20 Purva Ashadha-4'
Your close association with politicians will bring power and authority, but not money. As you are an illiterate power monger, for the sake of pomp-and-show, you will spend your own hard earned money for nothing in return in particular.
