Cancer Ascendant.

Another Water Sign today, The Cancer Ascendant.

Cancer is natural 4th sign and represents the energy of 4th house of home, home land, emotions, mother etc.So, generic interpretation of a Cancer ascendant people is that they are very emotional, sensitive and caring people. This is true but there is more than that. Depending on Moon position in chart, Mother will become very important in their lives, either for good or bad reasons. As Ascendant shows the life path and Cancer is all about caring for others, normally they are seen in medical or teaching profession. At times they are impractically emotional or as we say emotional fools.

2nd house of Family & Wealth has Leo Sign ruled by Sun. It shows that their family members can be authoritative by nature or they can be working for Govt. Govt jobs can be a source of wealth for them. Father becomes a key figure in family. It is mainly his decisions which prevail in family matters. Person may have seen authoritative attitude by family members during early childhood.

3rd house has Virgo sign there which means that they can be perfectionist towards their younger sibling and they can have high expectations from them. Their speech can bring or resolve conflicts. Their efforts can be in the field of health care. They can travel away from home land because of their work.

4th house has Libra sign there which means that they desire to have a balanced home environment or balanced relations with Mother. But wherever Libra is, it becomes out duty to make it a balanced one rather than accepting it to be a balanced one. As Libra is also sign of business, it shows someone having a home or own private office based business.

5th house has Scorpio sign and troubles begin in their lives. They can have troublesome love life with lots of ups & downs and instability. They can go through some crazy break-ups or divorces. At the same time, it gives interest in education of occult or research oriented subjects. Their education can also be unstable. Their lovers can be very dominating type of or secretive/mysterious. With time, they gain all Scorpio qualities in love matters like control, over-protectiveness, jealousy, suspicion etc.

6th house has Sagittarius sign. They can take higher education of Legal or Medical field. Through their higher education, they can serve people of under privileged class. Their daily work environment involves people of different ethnicity. They can have health issues related with Fat, Liver etc.

7th house and 8th house has Capricorn and Aquarius signs there respectively. This makes their relationship life more troublesome after Scorpio in 5th house. Both these houses are ruled by Saturn and 8th house is also a house of instability and ups & downs. So, it links their relationship life with instabilities. Also, ascendant lord is Moon which is full of emotions and 7th house lord is Saturn which has nothing to do with emotions. So, they can attract emotionless/cold partners. Saturn itself being most malefic doesn't help the cause at all. They say that Cancer ascendants usually have lots of issues in relationship but after reading 2000+ charts, I wonder which ascendant doesn't have these issues. It is just that Cancer people are naturally emotional and emotionally involved in anything they do, so break-ups and separations emotionally ruin them. As these are also house of business, the realization of doing business comes late in life.

9th house has Pisces sign which shows that they can be inclined towards education in spiritual matters. It also shows that their Guru can be very spiritual one. At the same time, they can be dreamy about their approach towards religion, like they may have this idea that I am following the best religion or best morals and it may be impossible to break this dream.

10th house has Aries sign which is sign of individuality or uniqueness. Sooner or later, they have to start working on their own. Their father can be a very dominant individual with authoritative approach. They themselves can be seen as a dominating person in their career or work environment.

11th house has Taurus sign which shows that their best wealth will come through entrepreneurship and by serving a higher cause. They can gain from their network circle plus elder siblings. Again, as ascendant is all about taking care of others, their entrepreneurship should also involve similar nature of work.

12th house has Gemini sign which shows that their business can involve foreign lands or working with foreign people. It can very easily be a business of import and export. It also shows a person having frequent foreign or spiritual travels.

Now, house-lord wise (Sun, Moon and Saturn are already covered) -

Mercury rules 3rd house and 12th house which shows their efforts going into foreign lands. It also shows someone in traveling related work or business or as I said, import/export business. They feel that their relationship with younger sibling is kind of a loss. They feel that they didn't get enough benefits from them.

Venus rules 4th house and 11th house which shows gains by working from home or in real estate matters. It also shows gains from mother but also shows gains after leaving your homeland as 11th house is 8th from 4th house. So, they have to go away from home land to make their best money.

Mars rules 5th house and 10th house which makes it Yogakaraka planet. It links their work with their education or creative pursuits. But whatever they do in career, they have to do it individually on their own.

Jupiter rules 6th house and 9th house which again shows that their higher education can be in legal or medical field. They can travel to different country for their work. It again shows a possible career as a teacher or academician.

Again, planetary position, dignity and dashas can change many a things here but foundation will remain like this.

Thanks,
