Cancer Sign is a movable sign, watery by nature and female by gender. Moon is lord of this ascendant. Shri Ram was born with Cancer Ascendant. This is one of the best ascendants for both males and females as it gives a genuine personality with caring and compassionate attitude. Jupiter in Cancer Ascendant is the greatest benefic a person can have. The only flaws for Cancer Ascendant natives are the first marriage and health.

Jupiter and Mars are benefics. Mars is the best benefic being lord of 5th House and 10th House.

Saturn, Moon and Sun are neutrals.

Males can be short to medium height. They have a round face, small but prominent nose and unscrupulous hair. They have a fair complexion unless malefics occupy ascendant. Eye color is black and eyes are slanty. If Mars, Saturn or Ketu occupy ascendant then chances of thin and slim body are high. Otherwise in all other cases body can be rounded and bit obese especially after they age.

Males of this ascendant have a kind and caring personality. They are passive, kind and full of empathy for others. They have virtues of the highest order. They are generally admired by both males and females. Their kindness and compassion for others is a noble quality which makes them stand out among their male counterparts. This holds especially true if birth ascendant falls in Punarvasu nakshatra.

If birth ascendant falls in Pushya or Ashlesha than there can be slighly complicated personality as these nakshatras belong to Saturn and Mercury. Still these placements will make them self reliable and hard working from a very young age. If Mars occupies ascendant then that could create for a highly unstable mindset. Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in ascendant also cause frustration and mental agony.

Cancer Sign represents home, motherland and mother. As such business related to real estate, defense, cooking and counseling are well suited.

Even if there is no divorce there are bound to be conflicts initiated by the partner with no fault of male natives. Lovers could also be manipulative as Scorpio rules the fifth house. Relationship with children can also have it share of problems. Mother can be loving and caring personality due to Libra in fourth house. Father can have anger issues and places unnecessary expectation on male native.
