You said: I'm sorta new to astrology , and even though I've read my chart descriptions I'm still unsure of it .... especially my cancer placements
The reason this is:
Sweetie you are just 15 years old. You have not yet experienced this chart to any extent you are perhaps just 1/6th into this "life experience" LOL!
Your chart is really beautiful as I'm certain also your personality is too.. The first thing I'd like to advise you is to learn all you can about the individual houses in your chart and what they represent. This way you will see clearly why you don't "connect" with those Cancer parts so well. These are really very hidden right now are are meant to be...hee...hee... They do however effect you all the same.
Having that optimistic Sagi Sun with a Leo Ascendant to express it is an amazing asset let me tell you Moon and Mars in Cancer really is contradictory and likely the fire/water mix means that you stay VERY in control of your emotions for a girl of your age. Matter of fact I'd go so far to say that you rarely get angry and almost never cry. You control yourself perfectly.
Hmmm?
Also noticable is how few planets you have retograde. Traditionally speaking (omitting Chiron) you really have only ONE planet retrograde this being Mars in Cancer.
Strangly enough this is one of the least common planets to even have in retrograde in a natal chart. Mars only goes retrograde like ever 2 years and a few months but only for 80 days or so So having Mars retrograde, that stands out. You are definitely in the minority when looking at other people's Mars positions.
So hey, what do you say you peek into and explore that area too...
What does Mars mean? What does it represent?
Why am I so blessed to have it retrograde hidden away in the twelve house?
What things are repressed?
The sign Mars is in is, of course, a major key to understanding the retrograde energies. Cancer is the sign of emotions and feelings, the need for security, and anything to do with home and family. Combined with your Moon in this very sign is some puzzling stuff for a Sagi girl wearing rose colored glasses.
Also notable here is that Sag and Leo are masculine energies too, while Cancer is very feminine....
If I were to guess the most difficult and worst case scenario for your life it still would be a cake walk to most peoples path.
Here is the worst you are likely to face based on these contradictions:
Domestic quarrels, discipline problems with children, house moves that are not necessarily an improvement. Minor depression much later in your life requiring basic medical care.
No doubt you are both smart and charismatic with benevolence coming out your ears so really none of this will even effect you at a deep or soul level. You will breeze through these as mere challenges and learn and grow from each life choice.
Please do take the time to learn about the houses within your chart then the energies of the planets within them will make perfect sense. I hope this has been of some help to you...
PS This Sagi girl here understands and shares a fire ascendant as well...
Hee...hee....
