the Fourth Sign of the Zodiac
Cancer as the Ascendant Sign in Vedic Astrology
The Moon rules this Cardinal Water Sign.
Here one experiences a predominantly maternal energy that is closely connected with the Moon. An “affliction” of the Moon in the Natal Chart can bring difficulties with one’s mother and a continuous search for inner balance, whose underlying cause is often difficult to understand. Vedic Astrology is a very powerful beacon on this aspect of life within each of us.
Once adulthood is reached, the same patterns are often repeated with one’s own children if there has not previously been a path of Awareness. There may therefore be difficulties in being serene mothers, and with remarkable ease anxieties and fears can be transmitted to one’s children who, once they become adults, will face life with those same anxieties and fears filtered through the path and the experiences they have had.
A good placement of the Moon brings a good maternal capacity and a balanced mind, therefore a pattern that rests upon an underlying serenity which the children will then absorb.
A certain perception of other people’s feelings, of what dwells within the inner world of others, is strongly present in this Astrological Sign. Psychic sensitivity and a strong emotional sensitivity are generally part of the qualities of those who have this Astrological Sign or the Moon at the Ascendant.
Water is an element capable of entering wherever there is permeability. It is a highly adaptable element.

Vedic
Astrology is an ancient means, a robust Wisdom grown over the centuries
for modern Counselling.
It provides the tools to
illuminate the trajectory of one’s life.
At times it seems that
the stories of one’s life, and events in general, are
governed by forces too great for us to confront
the events themselves…. but even this perception is part of the veil
of Maya…
That veil which we must learn to pierce in order to pass beyond it.
Each of us reflects the universe… Observe yourself and you will understand the essence of the universe but… above all, of this world!
