Having recently discovered that I have a Cancer Ascendant (thanks to the wonderful folks on this board!), I thought I would share some insights I recently found on another web site. The following description fits me to a "T"...it will be interesting to see if you other Cancer Ascendants agree!

Ascendant in Cancer
Your Cancer Ascendant makes you seem moody and indecisive, like the Moon, which has its home in this sign. Your delicate nature is probably expressed in soft facial features. To live according to your true self you must keep
in touch with your soul and avoid acting contrary to your intuition. This intuition will accompany you through your entire life. Your task lies in learning to differentiate when your inner voice is speaking out of a
temporary mood or is expressing a basic need, which you should address in your plans. This will not be easy because you tend to take on other people's problems as your own. You always run the risk of being used, among other
things, as an emotional garbage dump. Another quality of the sign Cancer is the tendency to cling to the past. With the wisdom of a mother of teenagers, avoid taking responsibility for people capable of taking care of themselves.
If you give in to your caregiver instinct and continually disperse love and warmth, expect to be frequently disappointed and frustrated. You have difficulty maintaining distance from situations and people and are extremely vulnerable, easily offended and quickly feel rejected. It would be a good idea to develop a thicker skin; it most certainly would not do any harm. Use your brain before tuning into the mood of the people who are close to you, although your sensitive nature may make this difficult.

Once you have overcome your uncertainty and found your center, you need not hesitate to follow whims of your spiritual life. Feelings will guide you through life, because your Cancer Ascendant, as a symbol of fertility and
birth, will keep you in touch with the tides of life.

Hey hooked, thanks for that link! Great info and pretty accurate...but I definitely don't consider myself introverted and I also think I'm a lot better-looking than the person they describe (maybe that's due to my Leo sun sign?) Anyway, I fall into the third decan of Cancer rising, and I found that description to be very accurate. It will be interesting to hear what others think...

Cancer is my rising sign. People frequently say "Cancer" when they are guessing what my Sun sign is. Then after they get to knOw me, the Aries sun and Capricorn moon baffle them and I have been called a "tough cookie."

My dad is a Cancer with Cancer rising..He looks like a (huge!) crab - think Gerard Depardieu, but bold, of course (got bold at 22). He's a great cook and nothing makes him more happy than having his entire family around a table with good food and wine. And he's caring - serving breakfast in bed, that type of things. Loves antiques, knows the whole history of his family, still wears the sweater his dear, beloved, fantastic MUM knitted for him fourty years ago. Actually, he also cooks food from her recipes (as that's the way it has to be done...)Doesn't throw away anything, if it's old, it's good. Actually, his career involves protecting old buildings, something he's very emotional about. Very emotional about anything else, too, but when the emotional waves get too high he withdraws in his shell...When he became a grandpa he didn't come out of his shell for a week..

Being a Pisces and also having a Cancer rising is a pretty sad deal...plus my moon is in Gemini in the 12th house. Very bad!
That's all I have to say!

Aáá, Stella, that's so sweet, the way you describe your dad. My dad has a Cancer Moon and at times (those times we step into our 'Moon') he is só sweet and sensitive. My dad isn't ashamed of crying as well!

Starlover, don't call it bad. You are a beautiful person. It is tough to be so sensitive, that is true but it ain't bad!
One of my friends is a Cancer with Cancer rising and Moon in Pisces. Boy, when you see her you'd think you can break her in one second. She is very delicate and hyper senstive.

My love (Gemini) has Cancer Ascendant (and Merc/Venus too) and he is só caring. Wants only the best of the best for me and likes to make breakfast as well , in that old familiar typical Cancer way of doing. We both do actually, me being a Cancer myself We spoil each other and are só cuddly! He has the most beautiful eyes and has that Cancer look! Gosh, I can go on and on!

*sigh*....I love him...

I just saw this thread. I am a fist decan Cancer ascendant...although with my Pisces Moon, and Gemini Sun in the Twelth House- I also have lot of Pisces influences...so I am not always sure if the characteristics I display are typical of Pisces or of Cancer.

One thing for sure though- I have huge boobs-a trademark of Cancer rising women. I am 5'8 and only 110 pounds, but I have size D breasts! I am often asked if I bought them lol. The other Cancer rising woman I know is also slim with a buxom bosom. We always joke about our Cancer rising breast blessing!

I am definately the perennial caretaker...people, pets, plants etc. I am always nuturing!

I can't seem to stay put in one place for too long- which bothers me. I constantly crave 'home'. But conditions occur in my life to keep me on the move. I have moved 6 times since last summer alone. I find it very hard to establish myself in any one place and grow roots. I pine for stability and family life...yet it seems to elude me.

I am VERY attached to my parents- especially my mother...

StarLover33- looks like we have a lot of similarities in our charts- the Cancer/Pisces/Gemini and 12th house thing going on! I feel for you girl!!! I know what a heavy load it is!

I love cooking too. Hmm, when I have guests over, I make extra portions so nobody leaves the table hungry and there are never any leftovers . . . so I am happy with that

Does anybody have large food reserves

I have lots of emergency food tucked away in my cupboards . . . some things under the bed . . . and a little in my closet. I also have bags of candy hidden away.

(I forgot to add, I have a few goodies hidden behind the books on the bookcase too).

Hmm, I also keep clothes. Things I don't wear anymore, presents never worn, stuff I've bought and didn't wear . . . some still have tags on them. I keep them in the closet, just in case. I also have extra blankets too (3), (just in case, you never know).

I'm an Aquarius (7th and 8th houses since they're so close) with a Cancer rising (2nd decan ... ). The "I know" combined with "I feel" is so overwhelming. The intellect combined with the feeling adds for dimensions of knowledge that is very hard to share with people sometimes, however, since my moon in is Virgo in the 3rd house, it's easier to express my feelings than it is to give them scientific backup.

My eyes and face are like a give-take relationship; people can easily read my emotions, especially when I'm hurt. However, the caring empathy that comes from this rising sign is worth it. The pain involved with it is a blessing and a curse.

The intuition involved with this sign is also outstanding. If there's one thing I've learned very very early from childhood, it's that doubting my intuition is a big mistake.

A side note of this rising sign is how much I feel spirits by my side; I have other aspects that give me psychic abilities, but the amount that I *feel* from these spirits are amazing. I can communicate with them ... not so much in language, but in "synchronosities" and hidden ways that most people overlook. It takes a very sensitive individual to recognize these sorts of signs ... they are small in detail but large in impact.

Two best guys I've ever known were Cancer Asc's.

Caring, mellow, wise.

Goes well with my Cappy Asc, though.

I'm a Pisces Sun with a Cancer Rising and Capricorn Moon. How's that for conflicted and all over the place? LOL

I'm the second decan of cancer and I think it's extremely accurate. Kind of spooky, actually. Combine the characteristics of the second decan cancer rising with my Cappy moon, then mix in the Pisces sensitivity, and you can imagine what it's like hanging out with me.

I also have Cancer rising (2nd decan) and find these descriptions to be pretty accurate. However, I also have a stellium in Capricorn which makes things more difficult. My Sun, Saturn, and North Node are all in the 7th house opposite my ascendant (Neptune and Uranus in the 6th). Chiron is the 1st house widely conjunct my Cancer ascendant. I'm beginning to realize just how large of a focus and challenge the Cancer/Capricorn, 1st house/7th house polarity is in my life whether I've wanted to acknowledge it or not. It's sometimes a struggle for me to be taken seriously as I seem to always come off as overly timid or emotionally vulnerable even when I don't think this represents anything internally.

Overall though, I can appreciate the positive Cancer attributes of intuition and emotional receptivity as long as I'm able to integrate them effectively into every- day life and find the balance between drawing boundaries when necessary without becoming too closed off.

I have a Cancer rising, with a Taurus Sun Sign. This basically makes me incredibly indecisive and painfully slow to act. There are times when I simply cannot make a decision, be it large or small. If it's a large decision, I can get easily overwhelmed. Then I don't know which inner voice to listen to, the one that says follow your heart or the one that is laying out logical reasons.

I especially had a hard time leaving a job. I get so used to a place I'm comfortable. The idea of being in a new place with new faces was exhausting and terrifying.

With the Taurus/Cancer combo, I struggle between being overly emotional and needy or cold and distant.

As far as being an emotional garbage dump, holy cow is that true. On top of that I'm an empath without the ability to cleanse myself. So I am an emotional sponge. I take on other people's moods around me very easily, but have a hard time shaking them off.

I remedy this by going to Reiki on a sort of regular basis. This helps with shedding all the emotions.

My Mom is a Cancer asc. She has her asc at 18* Cancer, Uranus 13* Cancer, and Moon at 1* Cancer. PLUS she has her Sun exactly conjunct the IC, which is also exactly on the Virgo/Libra cusp (she was born 9/23/51), and she's very very loving and caring, likes cooking for lots of people, entertaining, etc. But she also has Mars conj. Pluto in Leo, and if something sets her off (which isn't hard to do with 12h Moon and Asc in Cancer), she can become explosively angry - yikes! She and my Dad split up early in my life, but they were together for about 8 or 9 years before I was born, and I guess they used to have some pretty epic battles. I always hear the story of the time my Dad antagonized her (he thought it was funny to get her worked up), and left. She couldn't stand him having the last word, so she took a flower pot and threw it through the closed window at his head, shattering the window and barely missing him.
To top it off, her Mars Pluto conjunction is within 1* of my natal Sun, so sometimes I'm just doing my Leo thing and without realizing it I'll do something that just ticks her off. I'm 29 now, and I'm just coming into a healthy relationship with my mother. I've learned that I can't just tell her what I think about everything (Sag asc.), I have to be careful with my words. I can't count how many times we've hung up the phone on one another in anger.

SECOND DECAN of CANCER Rising

The subtle sub-influences of this Scorpio/PLUTO decan can cause some rather interesting differences. It adds more willpower, which can enable you to persist long enough to realize fully the benefits and rewards of what you set your mind to. You're certainly not as much of a potential "rolling stone" as the first-decan individual.

You may be a bit overly-secretive and may be regarded by others as somewhat mysterious or not easy to get to know or understand. Concerning this matter, it's not that you're too complex; it's just that you cover up or hide so much of yourself that at times you may frustrate others who would like to know more about you in order to feel closer. Since you may be well above the average in sex appeal, there certainly are those who would like to know you more intimately.

While the fixed nature of this decan can add valuable tenacity, you need in be careful not to overdo this quality to the point that you could be regarded by others as unyielding, stubborn, or bullheaded. Remember the old truism which states in effect that a wise man may change his mind (and ways), but a fool never does.

This is the decan of mutually-shared benefits and responsibilites, meaning you can gain markedly financially and otherwise if you are careful when forming unions or making agreements.

You may have a commanding fondness for investigation and otherwise finding out what makes everything and everyone "tick." This could be a valuable asset if you choose a life's work which requires research or discovery. If you get too carried away with this inclination, especially in your personal relationships, it could backfire and cause a negative reaction from those who might accuse you of prying.


Hi, we have the same main three planets. I am Cancer Rising first decan, Pisces Sun second decan, and Cap Moon third decan. I know how hard haha life can be sometimes with these placements. I'd be curious to talk with you more about it.

I am a cancer rising first decan with a Taurus sun as well. This description fits me like a T. All of it. I also have moon and Venus in the 12th which gives me the Pisces vibe as well so the empathy, caring, emotional, nurturing tendencies are 10-fold. I also have psychic tendencies (incredibly strong intuition) and have had experiences with spirits as well. I've been told I absolutely CANNOT hide my emotions and they can be read all over my face....I need to consistently keep myself away from negative people and situations because I am truly an emotional sponge. I should definitely give the Reike treatments a try.

I am dating someone who is a Taurus Sun with Cancer Rising. At first I thought he had Leo rising because his appearance is very fashionable and stylish but he is a very late Cancer ASC.

Very recently the moodiness is showing. Big baby! But still a sweetie!
