Good morning Cancerians.
So, today we will talk a little bit about Cancerian Ascendants and what they are all about.
So, let's go first to the basics.
Cancer I denote as flowing water.
Like the river. Imagine like the river.
Get the energy of Cancer is the flowing river.
Constantly moving, governed by the Moon.
Moon is the Lord of Cancer.
Right, so what does it mean?
First the esoteric aspects.
Building the foundations of life through the warmth of nurturing love.
The motherly energy. The mother.
Keynote for the soul.
I build a lighted house and therein dwell.
So, it's all about home right there.
It's the motherly energy which nurtures, protects.
It's the home front.
The soul ray will be the third. The will to manipulate and adapt. The mother's instinct.
Mothers know very well how to manipulate and adapt to circumstances.
Second soul ray. They have two soul rays.
Seventh, the will to build and express practical mystic.
The foundation.
The soul mantra being the third which is purpose itself.
M-I. It's a very purpose. It's a very introverted sign.
Purpose itself. M-I itself kind of tells you about it.
The seventh. The highest and the lowest meet.
Now, this highest and the lowest, the seventh ray, the last ray, soul ray is about
re-initiating or beginning, new beginnings of things.
That's another thing symbolified by the Cancer, the flowing water.
The changing is constantly shifting and changing.
The very aspects would be sattva.
Sattva is pure concept to put it very simply.
The sattvic energy is the pure conceptual energy.
It's the very highest form of vibration.
This is only sattvic sign which belongs to the female.
So, this is the highest form of the female attainment.
The highest divinity that a woman can attain would be, according to the Vedic aspects,
for a female would be Cancer or the Mother energy.
Sign Lord is of course the Moon.
And because Moon waxes and veins a lot, it's a constantly shifting energy.
That's why it's the flowing water.
Exaltation is Jupiter. Why?
Because Jupiter is a teacher.
And who is the teacher? The first teacher in your life, your mother.
She teaches you right from the time you are a baby in arms.
She teaches you how to speak.
She teaches you language. She teaches you manners.
Everything begins. The first teacher is the mother.
So Jupiter is exalted as it gains strength in this sign.
Devilitation would be Mars. Why?
Because you don't require driver aggression for nurturing.
You don't require contracting aspects.
You can't bring the Mars at home.
Mars is a soldier who wants to go and fight in the battlefield.
Or build stuff in the external world.
At home you need nurturing. You need the Moon energy.
Type is Moksha. Moksha is a liberation.
Well, this is when you are not talking about Moksha as a liberation of ultimate terms.
Moksha is the one which breaks you out of your own shell.
It's ironical. Cancer is represented by a crab.
Which is what a strong shell protects itself.
That's itself to show you some energies of the cancer ascended.
So out of the Vedic aspects, we have stuck the fourth in the first.
So the Moon has come to your head.
So the fifth has moved to second, sixth, third and so on and so forth.
Up till third in 12th house.
What could this mean?
Well, first thing we need to understand the concept of Manas as told in Sanskrit.
Manas is the mind. Moon governs the Manas.
And the 27 modes of the Moon which we will do later on.
But Moon is very central to Vedic Astrology.
It's based, it's also called Lunar Astrology.
When you stick the Moon in the head, everything is evaluated emotionally.
How does this affect the first house? Let's go house by house now.
So Moon in Cancer, because it's Moon and it's in Cancer, it's flowing water.
So emotionally constantly changing.
Emotionally sensitive, protective, very family oriented.
Changeable, movable.
This is the guideline for any house which falls under cancer.
It's adjustable, home bird.
You want to be introverted like the crab.
You want to go internal always.
Self sacrificing emotional sensitivity drive in all areas of life.
Remember we spoke about whatever is in the ascendant is in your head.
And whatever is in your head, you will look at all areas of life with that approach,
with that planets approach, with that Lord.
This will affect all areas of the life.
In second we have the son Leo.
Leo is all about legacy, father figure.
So how does it affect this one?
They have a desire to keep the family legacy alive.
A lot of father influences them earlier in career.
Career life, legacy desire to follow the same path as father.
One classical example was Indira Gandhi, the late Prime Minister of India.
Her father, she was heavily influenced by Nehru.
So they have a tendency to carry on the legacy of the father.
Why? Because son in Leo is in the second house wanting to carry legacy.
Son is about legacy.
You may be inclined to follow.
Following family lineage of career and business.
You can take the case of Indira Gandhi, he is cancerous in it.
So they are wanting to follow their path.
Third house of Mercury, Vagva.
Now Vagva is all about calculation, calculative energy.
Mercury wants to calculate things before they give.
So, calculative about affection to younger siblings from friends.
Third house is of friends also, the immediate social circle.
Very controlled skill development through time.
Vagva wants to take time for everything, very cautious.
All Virgo Nyan energies come to the third house of skill development, friends, immediate social nature.
Only cultivating skills that are suited to their emotional profile.
Why? Because their head is stuck in moon.
So they will evaluate everything which suits them and which doesn't suits them they will discard.
Fourth house of home, it becomes Libra.
So very Venusian home, they want beauty and artistic big homes.
Very large size homes.
May have carriers in interior design or real estate.
There is one more thing.
Why? Because the moon governs the first house.
And Libra being all about others, they might want to do a real estate business.
Or even interior design.
They got very high Venus kind of qualities for the home front.
They want big homes, a lot of mother energy influence.
Big homes, wide spaces, large size homes.
It's not so much how wealthy or how costly it is, it's more about the wide space.
Decorate, they want very classy decors in it because it's the sign of Libra which is coming in the fourth house.
The fifth house has Scorpio in it, the house of education, children, romance, love, etc.
Creativity.
So there are Scorpio lands, it becomes secretive.
So they are very secretive, very protective of kids.
Because Scorpio lands the protection also.
May come as overly stubborn with children.
Scorpio is a very stubborn sign.
May have secret affairs which no one knows about.
Again because this is the house of romance.
The sixth one, Jupiter in Sajj.
So Sajj terriers and governed by Jupiter has come into the house of daily work.
Enemies, surgeries, etc.
So they will profit from their enemies at work.
Because Jupiter always expands whatever it touches.
And in a positive way, so if Jupiter lands in the house of sixth, it will reduce the number of enemies.
It will make it profitable for them.
Always trying to win over enemies with philosophical approach.
Why Jupiter is a philosophical guy?
So they have less enemies who resist their nature.
In seventh, we have Cap, Capricorn ruled by Saturn.
Saturn energy is dry, cold.
More about work, restrictive.
So their man might be getting delayed as a result of Saturn appearing there.
And it's better for these people to marry post-33, post-36 when Saturn matures.
Otherwise they might keep getting divorced and things like that.
Matter of fact, the spouse may be elder in age.
Someone more disciplined and controlled.
So this is the beauty of this system.
Because they say opposites attract in relationships.
This one being very emotional.
They are looking for someone disciplined and controlled, Saturnian.
But they have a business-like approach.
Saturn is dry, cold.
It doesn't have emotional content in it.
So they have very business-like marriage.
They want only security and stability in the person.
It's not a very fulfilled married life with the Saturnian spouse.
It's a very serious type, un-emotional.
They don't provide emotional nurturing.
They look for, remember, we have cancer in the SNN.
So they look for emotional support which they might not get
because of this guy hanging around here.
Next one again is Aquarius ruled by Saturn.
But it's in the 8th house.
So it's in occult and hidden.
And this 8th house is also responsible for death, longevity, etc.
So Saturn being here gives them a longevity of life.
Very controlled discipline, communication with in-laws.
They will be very formal in their communications.
A little maverick too because Aquarius is a little maverick.
You can have steady success but can be deeply into occult unorthodox.
Now Saturn is a shadow planet.
So it's interested in the shadows, interested in something deep, buried as such.
So it does well in this provided they want to go into occult
because even cancer, moon gives them their ability.
So they may have access into tapping into lower dimensions of existence.
Like being a medium, for example, being a psychic, they can make very good psychics.
Removal of dark energy, healing of body bones, especially being Saturn.
Bones in cartilage and all that.
They make very good healers, chiropractors if interested in healing as a profession.
So there's a possibility there, of course, the charts have to be examined.
Ninth house has Jupiter in Pisces.
So religion, higher knowledge becomes very flexible.
Pisces is a very broad minded individual energy.
So it becomes flexible, open minded, philosophical.
Adaptable to change in views, careless in tradition, may ignore religion entirely
because this is not very traditional.
This is another aspect of Jupiter.
Besides it becomes traditional in Pisces, it becomes open minded, dreamy.
More spiritual and religious, very deeply intuitive.
Again this can make the eighth house very powerful.
Look at what I said, they can tap into lower dimensions of existence.
Tenth place is Mars, which is very aggressive soldier in an area of work career success.
So they are very driven people.
And because the moon is stuck in the head, moon is good for medical field, healing.
They can make very good surgeons, why?
Because surgeons cut.
Surgeons want to cut anything open for the sake of healing.
So moon in the ascendant and Mars in tenth can make very good people in medical industry specifically surgeons.
They can also make very good entertainment in political industry.
They are very aggressive in their career, defend their lineage, remember, sun is in the second house.
Career business want leadership, want the best of cars, Mars, driver of cars, want the best of cars,
very career oriented people, all drive focused on this, on the tenth house.
The eleventh one has Venus in Taurus.
Taurus is a fixed sign.
So they will have social networking for gains.
Why? Because Taurus looks for gains everywhere, material gains.
They might have a lot more female friends than male because Taurus is a female sign.
Wealth changes ups and downs, moons will bring that about.
Social networks ups and downs in the beginning, at least in the beginning part of life, but later it stabilizes.
The twelfth house of spirituality, renunciation, losses, foreign travels has geminized.
Gemini by itself is a prince, a young prince.
Think of Mercury as a young prince.
He is always horny, he is always sexually very high and also wants to go around wanting to get best of things in life very quickly.
And they have high ambition also.
High sexual drive, playboy attitude, their spirituality is only what can be reasoned and understood.
Why? Well, Mercury only understands reason and logic, it doesn't understand intuition.
They are flexible in understanding in everything, again the mental faculty.
And they have the spiritual senses of occultism, what can be used and implemented.
The prince only wants to do something which can be used and implemented for his little ego.
This is my understanding of the general aspects of cancer, isn't it?
But of course you have to see where your planets are specifically in your chart.
