"Impact of Ascending Signs : Cancer"

LUCKY STONE: White Sapphire / Topaz / Diamond

LUCKY NUMBER: 1

Cancer is a watery sign, generally weak, ruled by the royal Moon, which is changeable in nature and tender. Jupiter, the significator of knowledge and fortune, is exalted in this sign. Mars, the significator of energy, is debilitated in this sign. These factors render those people born in Cancer ascendant caring and nurturing, highly emotional, intuitive, gentle and considerate. If Cancer rises as the ascendant, the Ishta Devata would be Lord Shiva. This sign rules the rib cage, chest, heart, lungs and breasts. If the Moon and Jupiter are strong, the people born in Cancer ascendant enjoy good health. Otherwise, they have a sickly constitution and unpleasant appearance and suffer from mental maladies, physical ailments of breast, chest, heart and epigastria region, lymphatic and circulatory congestion, jaundice and other liver complaints, etc. Under the Systems’ Approach, Cancer is treated as the mooltrikona sign of the Moon.

Cancer is a moveable, negative, satvic, kapha, female, mute, fruitful and multiped sign and signifies grace and cleverness. Depending on the influences on the ascendant and/or the Moon, the sign Cancer usually renders their natives good hosts, capable of receptivity and adaptability, generous, peace loving, with humor, wit and imagination or overly emotional, sensitive, shy, moody, attached, dependent and full of concern, both for themselves and for others. The sign being a royal sign, there are many happy events in their lives. They are very sensitive and restless. As the Moon is of volatile nature and becomes weak quite often either in pakshabala or by going to malefic houses from the ascendant or by being in infancy or old age or by going to its sign of debilitation, either in rasi or in navamsa, or by occupying the mooltrikona sign of any weak planet, the people born in Cancer ascendant are volatile, changeable and inconstant in their behavior. The house of initiatives, being ruled by Mercury which also remains weak quite often, is another reason for their changeable nature. In case Mercury is weak and/or afflicted, the initiatives of the people born in Cancer ascendant do not produce results, resulting in change of ventures.

Apart from Rahu and Ketu, Jupiter and Saturn also become functional malefic planets. The Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are functional benefic planets for people born in Cancer ascendant. Mercury becomes a Sun-like planet for them. The natal Mars in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house does not make them Manglik. The happy events are more in their lives and recurrent, while unhappy ones are rare, but long lasting. The unhappy events are more tragic if the functional benefic planets are weak and afflicted. For people born in Cancer ascendant, whenever the functional malefic planets Saturn and Jupiter form natal/transit close aspects/conjunctions with transit/natal functional benefic planets and/or most effective points of houses, they are as potentially harmful as Rahu and Ketu. In transit, whenever they form close conjunctions or aspects with weak natal planets or weak transit planets or most effective points of weak houses, they trigger unfavorable events. The weak Sun and Venus indicate trouble to parents, loss of assets and comforts. The significant role of Mars, as yogakarka, is curtailed if it is weak.

Although the scenario is dependent upon the overall configurations of the chart and operating major periods of planets, the strength of individual planets does signify trends in life to a large extent. A strong Moon blesses people born in Cancer ascendant with affluence and recognition. A strong Sun blesses them with status. Strong Mercury blesses them with initiative, entrepreneurial nature, courage, the power of understanding and communication, valour, younger brothers and a sound breathing system. The repetitive transit weakness of Mercury and weak natal Mercury bothers them on account of miseries to younger brothers and sisters as also on their own initiatives/business ventures. A strong Venus works as an asset. Venus, whose mooltrikona sign falls in the fourth house, is an anchor sheet of life for the people born in Cancer ascendant because the fourth house has dynamic configurations. In infancy, it rules in particular the happiness from mother. In childhood, it rules education. In the grown-up stage of life, it rules assets, marital harmony, vehicles and comforts in life. A strong Venus, being lord of the fourth house of people born in Cancer ascendant, blesses the dynamic configurations of the fourth house with affluence, while a weak and/or afflicted Venus ruins/disturbs the significations of the fourth house in particular. A strong Venus blesses them with affluent and reputed parents, vehicular and residential comforts, good education, good family life and pleasures in life. A strong and unafflicting Jupiter blesses them with good physical health while a strong and unafflicting Saturn blesses them with a long life. A strong Mars blesses people born in Cancer ascendant with executive authority. In the case of matters signified by houses containing non-mooltrikona signs of planets, suffering and/or tragic happenings only take place if one or several of the functional malefic planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and/or Ketu, exert their close influence on the most effective points of the said houses, and the significators of these houses are weak.

Exalted and strong Sun blesses people born in Cancer ascendant with government authority, success in politics and a flourishing career. Exalted and strong Moon blesses them with good financial gains. Exalted and strong Mars with strong Sun blesses them with executive state authority, well-placed father and good fortune. Exalted and strong Mercury blesses them with sharp intellect, good communicative power and business acumen. Exalted, strong and unafflicting Jupiter blesses them with challenging attitude, wisdom, good financial status and good health. Exalted and strong Venus blesses them with affluent parents, comforts, vehicles and fortune. Exalted, strong and unafflicting Saturn blesses them with good inheritance, long-lived parents, long life, easy gains and servants. Similarly, are to be read the results of the planets when they are in their signs of debilitation causing deterioration in the aspects signified by the weak planets. However, the significations likely to be promoted when the planets are exalted get a setback when the concerned planets are weak.

Close conjunction/aspect of functional malefic planet, Jupiter, with weak natal positions generates disputes for the significations ruled by those weak and afflicted natal planets/houses. While a strong Saturn blesses people born in Cancer ascendant with good inheritance, its close conjunction/aspect with weak natal positions cause obstructions, accidents and violent end to the significations ruled by those weak and afflicted natal positions. The close conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn makes Cancer born natives vulnerable to serious and prolonged health problems and causes them losses through conflicts, cheating and failure to meet debt obligations. The close conjunction/aspect of Saturn with the Moon makes one vulnerable to accidents and curtails longevity. The close conjunction/aspect of Saturn to the weak Sun endangers the relationships, denies happiness from male child, causes problems in professional ventures and causes tragedies in the family life. The close conjunction/aspect of Saturn with Mercury does not allow the initiatives and business ventures of the native to be successful and poses persistent obstructions. The close conjunction/aspect of Saturn with Venus causes divorce, early death of spouse and causes loss of assets and mental peace. The close conjunction/aspect of Saturn with Mars delays in settlement of professional matters and causes severe professional setbacks. The close conjunction/aspect of Saturn and Rahu or Ketu makes the person vulnerable to accidents, inflammation of joints, paralysis, relationships out of marital bond, sexually transmitted diseases, gambling tendencies and loss of ancestral wealth.

MARS Obstructions in profession, short temper, lack of executive power, weak health.
MERCURY Difficulty in communicating with others, nervous, unhappiness through younger siblings
JUPITER Diseased body, debts, disputes, trouble to male children, loss of respect.
VENUS Loss of comforts, assets and domestic peace.   Obstructed education, trouble to mother and wife.
SATURN Medium life span, loss of inheritance, loss in speculation and gambling, accidents.

Depending upon the strength of Mars and the Sun being prime determinants of profession and the Moon for a stable profession, Cancer born persons become administrators, public relations managers, healers, nurses, house keepers, hoteliers, restaurant owners, catering professionals, cooks, eating-establishment owners, professionals dealing with liquids, etc. The influence of other planets on the tenth, first or second houses changes the professional pursuits.

Every year during the months of December and January when transit Mercury, Venus and the Sun generally transit the sign Sagittarius the native becomes vulnerable to health problems, disputes and financial constraints. Similarly, the transit planets in Aquarius cause obstructions while the transit planets in the sign Gemini causes additional expenses and problems in journeys/distant places.

When the slow moving planets Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu transit in the sign Sagittarius, they make the persons born in Cancer ascendant vulnerable to health problems, disputes and setbacks. When these slow moving planets transit in the sign Aquarius they cause setbacks, obstructions and difficulties to father and the sources of income. When these slow moving planets transit in the sign Gemini they may cause loss of income, additional expenses, problems with law and setbacks. In such situations one should continuously propitiate Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. These slow moving planets near the most effective point of any house cause serious stress.

With this background in view, we shall now take up a few case studies for further understanding.

Birth: 21st December, 1961.  (Click Here to See Chart)
The lords of the second, third and tenth houses are closely conjunct in the sixth house. The combustion of Mars and Mercury, the placement in the sixth house and the weakness of the dispositor turns the conjunction weak. The lord of the fourth house, Venus, retains some power because of its placement in a trine and its being in the exalted navamsa in spite of its being combust, in the state of old-age, closely afflicted by Rahu and with the most effective point of its mooltrikona house afflicted by the most malefic planet. Most malefic planet Saturn is closely conjunct with the most effective point of the seventh house. Jupiter and Ketu's placement in the seventh house is inauspicious but is quite away from the most effective point. This type of placement triggers unfavorable events due to transit conjunctions/aspects concerning the issues signified by the house in question.

The native is emotional and mentally troubled. The weakness of the Sun, Rahu's close aspect to the fourth lord, Venus, and Saturn's close aspect to the most effective point of the ninth and fourth houses snatched the patronage of father, who died when the native was unmarried, and was in her 25th year.

The strength of Mars does not become beneficial because, when the sub-periods of Mars come, the affliction of Jupiter to the Moon also surfaces due to the affliction of Rahu to the weak Moon and Jupiter in the second house.

The native's parents as well as in-laws are affluent but mental peace is lost due to disputes connected with joint properties of both the families.
