Ascendant in Cancer
You are dreamy, with a psychological nature that is oriented towards nostalgia for things
past, towards your mother and your family. Your instinct and your need to protect
yourself from the outside world are highly developed. Your inner life is rich, with a vivid
and even unlimited imagination, a propensity to avoid all risks and to pursue security.
You show your true face only to persons you can trust and you need the well being
brought about by the nostalgia for the past.
With this Ascendant, you come across as emotional, sentimental, restful, sensitive, loyal,
enduring, protective, vulnerable, generous, romantic, tender, poetic, paternal or maternal,
dreamy, indolent, greedy and dedicated. You may also be fearful, unrealistic, evasive,
passive, touchy, anxious, dependent, stubborn, lunatic, backward-looking, lazy,
burdensome, impenetrable and a homebody.
Interpretation of the 1 Cancer symbolic degree
"A fat dog defends its bone against two scrawny dogs while a man hesitates to follow
the woman who passes by." (Janduz version)
Selfish, lazy, and conceited character. This degree describes a freeloader who is
unwilling to help one's friends. Although one is refined and subtle, these qualities are
overshadowed by the will to take advantage of other people's generosity in any possible
way. Life is easy, yet it is that of a sponger.
2. Interpretation of the 14 Gemini symbolic degree
"By a riverside, a man tries to break a big stone with a small hammer. Instead of
straddling the river, the bridge runs parallel to one of the banks."
(Janduz version)
Utopian, weak, and undiscerning character. Unless the natal chart indicates otherwise,
owing to bad luck or to a lack of skills, one works a lot but earns little.
3. Interpretation of the 0 Gemini symbolic degree
"Two children walk hand in hand towards two yellow lilies growing under a thickfoliaged tree." (Janduz version)
Observant, patient, and loyal character. Relationships with siblings are harmonious.
Success is achieved in education and all careers related to children and youths. Owing to
one's personal qualities and professional merits, one attracts many genuine friends and
powerful protectors. Life unfolds in happiness and prosperity. This degree symbolises
"twinness" and the possibility to be a twin or to have twins.
4. Interpretation of the 9 Taurus symbolic degree
"While an ox sleeps under the sun, two birds perch on its back. Two cheerful women
play with a dog, near a snake." (Janduz version)
Superficial, materialistic, and lazy character. Happiness is found in the fulfilment of
physical and sensual needs, but self-leniency and excesses of all sorts bring about many
a trouble. This degree warns against financial losses related to simultaneous romantic
relationships, or bigamy. There is also the possibility that one marries a sibling of one's
spouse.

5. Interpretation of the 5 Taurus symbolic degree

"In a conference hall, a man at the height of his glory is standing on a podium with a
scroll of paper in his hand and a laurel wreath on his head. Among the
participants, there is a three-headed man who looks in different directions."
(Janduz version)
Intelligent, shrewd, and fickle character. The three-headed man symbolises the host of
talents and abilities one is blessed with. Sharp perspicacity, scientific knowledge, and
artistic skills enable to overcome many an obstacle and to achieve success and fame,
probably owing to a major discovery or an outstanding invention. This degree sometimes
indicates a physical flaw at birth or following an accident.
6. Interpretation of the 28 Aries symbolic degree
"A humble but strong man cuts down a tree with an axe. There is an open book on the
ground because the man reads during his pauses." (Janduzversion)
Independent, helpful, and forgiving character. The numerous obstacles which crop up
throughout life are courageously overcome. One is appreciated for one's dedication to
friends and colleagues, and kept in high esteem for the quality of one's work. Success
and notoriety can be achieved in animal husbandry, forestry and the wood industry,
particularly if in the natal chart, Mars is posited in Taurus. All intellectual occupations
such as education, literature, or architecture, are also very favoured. One must be very
careful with contracts because they may conceal some breach of trust and lead to a
lawsuit, particularly at the beginning of one's career. Happiness in love and marriage
may come late.
7. Interpretation of the 12 Aries symbolic degree
"On top of a mountain set ablaze with the sunset beams, a man wearing a long cloak
holds a staff in his right hand and a crown in the other." (Janduz version)
After a host of sufferings, sorrows, and hard work, one reaches a prestigious position and
receives many honours towards the end of one's life. One may also accede to a
prominent government office. The sunset heralds a belated success, the fulfilment of
which has been the secret drive prompting to relentlessly pursue, a whole life through,
the route towards recognition, love, wealth, and fame. April is usually the most
auspicious month.
8. Interpretation of the 21 Pisces symbolic degree
"In a lavishly furnished room, a beautiful and scantily dressed woman bends over a
sofa on which a man is lying asleep." (Janduz version)
Depraved, sensual, and greedy character. Worldly assets are perishable goods. If one is
only pursuing a life of pleasures and insouciance, one ends up finding that physical
beauty is ephemeral, and that opulence can melt as fast as ice in the sun. Money and love
affairs lead to debauchery and ruin. One must keep base instincts tightly reined in and
absolutely avoid getting involved in activities linked to espionage, prostitution or
procuring, and illegal drugs trade. This degree is dangerous for males and females alike.
9. Interpretation of the 14 Pisces symbolic degree
"An arrows flies through a cloud against a backdrop of snowy peaks. Below, a man
holding a dagger hides behind shrubs." (Janduz version)

Ambitious, determined, and aggressive character. One believes that one is entrusted with
a special mission and must follow the path which has been drawn by a mysterious hand.
Although one means well, one must avoid violent confrontations and resort to dialogue
in order to conciliate diverging stands. Otherwise, tough opponents may start an
unremitting fight and thwart projects. If in the natal chart, Neptune or Jupiter is strong,
or on this degree, there may be a gift for occultism.
10. Interpretation of the 4 Pisces symbolic degree
"A man flanked by two young women walks towards a nice buffet where an older
couple is waiting." (Janduz version)
Sociable, fickle, and sincere character. There is an overwhelming need to be understood
and appreciated by the numerous friends one attracts. Success can be achieved in all
occupations requiring good oratorical and negotiating skills, for instance in education,
mediation, television, etc. One must think thoroughly before getting involved in any
serious partnership because the first moments of exhilaration might be followed by
disenchantment and bitterness.
11. Interpretation of the 2 Pisces symbolic degree
"On the front steps of a mansion, a man wearing a ceremonial costume welcomes
three wealthy people, a simply dressed woman, and a beggar."
(Janduz version)
Generous, sensitive, and secretive character. One pays more attention to human qualities
than to social status and treats the poor and the rich on an equal footing. Regardless of
their personal situation, everybody, well-off people and people in need alike, know that
they are welcome and that when necessary, they will find solace and all forms of
assistance. If born in a wealthy family, one meaningfully takes advantage of one's
legacy. If the origins are modest, this degree promises that, sooner or later, one will
become very famous and rich. If in the natal chart, the Ascendant is on this degree, it
heralds fame and the possibility that one's name goes down in history. If it is in
conjunction with the Midheaven or with important planets, within a 5 orb, it brings
about great honours and dignities.
12. Interpretation of the 18 Capricorn symbolic degree
"A bare-chested man stands on a rock in the middle of heavy seas and raging storm."
(Janduz version)
Honest, tough, and determined character. One courageously copes with ordeals, and
once the storm subsides, one successfully rebuilds a life of rectitude and prosperity
which commands the respect of one's entourage. If in the natal chart, Mars is in
conjunction with this degree or in the 1st House, one is most likely to wield power and
enjoy public esteem in foreign countries.
13. Interpretation of the 19 Scorpio symbolic degree
"On the seashore, a man riding a camel gazes in amazement at the sun rising over the
horizon." (Janduz version)
Proud, independent, and fair character attracted to oriental matters. Success and fame
can be achieved in politics and/or reforms and discoveries, particularly if the Sun is
strong in the natal chart. This degree heralds that the greatest honours are granted, and
that all ambitions are fulfilled, even the wildest ones.
14. Interpretation of the 13 Virgo symbolic degree
3

"A man drills a rock with a pick while an ox pulls a heavy tree trunk."
(Janduzversion)
Practical, honest, and unambitious character. Intellectual abilities are of average level
and focused on down to earth matters. Life is devoted to a hard work which is not very
profitable, and one has no desire to outshine others or to get a preferment. Indeed, one
prefers to follow the same old path as one's predecessors. This degree indicates a risk of
accidents or of losing a limb.
15. Interpretation of the 10 Virgo symbolic degree
"A man rides a horse at full gallop with his forefinger upwards in a gesture of
authority. " (Janduz version)
Inventive, generous and tolerant character endowed with a flexible mind devoid of
prejudices. One understands that the importance of money is relative, and thus, one
behaves with altruism. Thanks to one's wide range of talents, success and honours are
achieved in one's field of competence.
16. Interpretation of the 8 Virgo symbolic degree
"A man and a woman wearing a mask stand at both ends of a table on which there are
bags of money and beautiful fruits. The woman protects the money with her
hand while the man grasps a fruit." (Janduz version)
Sociable and generous character lacking willpower. It seems that money falls on one's
laps, whether it comes through inheritance or through work. However, one does not
know how to deal with it, and it becomes a source of troubles because of a female's
machinations. One is driven by greed and passions and may fall prey of dishonest
people.
