ASC · Cancer
Cancer Ascendant
You present yourself with sensitivity and a certain protective reserve. You convey closeness and care, and you read the atmosphere instantly. In daily life it shows in that you sense the mood before speaking, you look after people without being asked and you withdraw when something hurts you. You give a sense of closeness and at the same time of reserve. Your challenge is not to confuse protecting yourself with hiding.
What the Ascendant is
The Ascendant is the sign that was rising over the eastern horizon at the exact moment and place of your birth. It changes roughly every two hours, which is why the time of birth is needed. It marks the 1st house and, with it, the layout of all the houses in the chart.
Midheaven and vocation
Your vocation has to do with caring, nourishing and creating home in the broad sense. You project yourself as protective.
