I have been given two times that a friend of mine could have been born and she is either a Pisces ascendant in the Scorpio decan or a cancer ascendant in the Scorpio decan. I really cannot tell. To me she resembles both. She is very petite, had a lot of compliments about her eyes, very slim, dark eyes and hair but pale skin. When I first met her she came across as very sweet and caring but her sun is in cancer. Her moon is in Capricorn so she can seem a bit withdrawn sometimes but she is incredibly artistic with a strong imagination. She is both dreamy and maternal.
What do you think? What are the main differences between cancer and Pisces ascendants?

Main differences between the two:

Pisces Ascendant - mutable water sign ruled by Jupiter traditionally/Neptune modernly where Venus is exalted. Feminine and nocturnal.
Changeable, adaptable, emotional, unrealistic, loving, artistic, instinctual, sensitive, dual, mute. Can be very loving and romantic due to Venus' exaltation.

Cancer Ascendant - Cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon where Jupiter is exalted. Feminine and Nocturnal.
action oriented, emotional, instinctual, maternal, sensitive, caring, nurturing, can be very warm, optimistic and philanthropic due to Jupiter's exaltation.

Not a lot of difference. The main way you can tell is looking at the height, Cardinal signs are taller and have prominent bone structure. Mutable signs slimmer, smaller framed, shorter on average. Is she really tall and large boned (Cardinal) or is she shorter and lanky (Mutable.) ? Petite would lean toward Pisces ascendant. Taller with more angular features and bone structure indicates a Cardinal sign ascending at least that's general unless there are planets on the ascending degree or in the first house. My sun sign ruler, Mercury, is ascending in my chart which explains, maybe, why I am a few inches shorter and smaller boned than the rest of my family even though I have a Cardinal sign ascending. If there is a planet in either sign close to the ascendant or in house one, you have to think in terms of it and if there is more than one, in terms of them.

Cardinal signs tend to be more authoritarian looking and action demanding. They take charge more readily.

Mutable signs are more scattered, not as organized, flightier, and tend to let others tell them what to do in a more graceful way than Cardinal. Capricorn is a Cardinal sign and it likes to be in charge, so does Aries, another Cardinal sign. Can you picture an Aries bossing around a Sagittarius or a Capricorn a Virgo? I can because I have Capricorn relatives who have tried but this Virgo has a secret weapon - lots of Libra.

Can you picture your friend as a Cancer dominating a Pisces or a Pisces adapting to the needs of a Cancer?

When you first met her, did she come across as an in charge type or more wishy-washy, go-with-the-flow?
