A disturbed frog dives into the safe depths of its native swamp. This is a difficult situation for our time: the ability to speak is valued more than the ability to listen. The person is very vulnerable in terms of self-esteem, often feels insecure and acts with difficulty, struggling to express their inner feelings, though karmically this is exactly what they need to learn. This placement gives depth to the personality and great emotionality, which is hard for others to believe, as they mostly see a closed expression and silent attention. It is difficult to understand whether the person agrees with you, approves or condemns, or what they are thinking at all. Most often, they are not thinking anything, since the inner thought struggles to reach consciousness and take shape in words, especially if there is no strong Mercury. Characteristic here is the emotional depth of perception of the external and internal world, and accordingly, strong defenses against both, leading to self-deception and distortion of self-expression. From enemies, one must learn the Capricorn dryness, practicality, purposefulness, and constructive work, not least on oneself, to eliminate distortions of emotional perception and expression, making the former more substantive and the latter more accurate and sincere. It should be remembered that the degree of ruthlessness of enemies is determined by the level of one’s own egoism.

{The rising sign, or 1st house, is the sector of space (sign) that was directly above the eastern horizon at the moment of a person’s birth. The rising sign provides us with much information about a person’s appearance and behavioral traits. In many respects, the rising sign has a greater influence than the signs in which the Sun or Moon were located at the time of birth. Knowing the rising sign gives much preliminary information about the character of the entire horoscope and the general makeup of a person’s character. Cancer is a sign associated with the water element and indicates an emotional nature. It is symbolized by the crab; such people usually tend to complain and express dissatisfaction. This sign is feminine in nature, so those born under it are sensitive, often worry over trifles, but sincerely care for others. This sign is usually associated with attachment to family life and property. Other traits of “Cancer” people include psychic receptivity, cleverness, agility, frugality or stinginess, curiosity, and compassion for the needy. These people are expressive and can often be seen on stage or engaged in activities that allow contact with the public. They surround themselves with many relatives. Proud, virtuous, talkative, and interested in astrology. They own property, love to live near water. They prefer to have few children or none at all. They are strongly influenced by their married partners. They have many friends. They have a romantic, shy, grateful, and imaginative nature. Their appearance includes short stature, a thick neck, and a solid build. They are honest, sincere people but can sometimes be overly emotional, and in their family life, they often experience disappointment. They prefer to learn something well before judging it. They enjoy traveling abroad and may know several languages. They are happiest when they have everything necessary for life and can follow the inclinations of their heart or intuition. Their nature is wandering; they are inconstant in their pursuits.}

CANCER — closedness and withdrawal from the external world. Rapid mood swings, instability and fluctuations, lack of a clear line of behavior. Many inner experiences, feelings of insecurity. But a desperate desire to make a favorable impression.
Frances Sakoian. Ascendant in the signs of the Zodiac
Receptivity to the surrounding world — emotional dependence. Indecisiveness, yet passion in feelings expressed in a dramatic manner, with romanticism. Will supports emotions. Strong attachment to family and family matters. Sensitivity, readiness to help, diligence, compassion, self-sacrifice, and a sense of family. A fulfilling family life, changeable (mostly simple) living conditions. You give the impression of a soft and calm person; in relationships with others, you are very cautious, and only after getting to know someone well and being convinced that nothing threatens you can you open up to them. You strongly need emotional protection, a desire to have and be deeply attached to the past: heritage, roots, family, loved ones and friends, familiar places, etc. For you, making radical changes or letting go of what is already known and safe can be very painful and difficult. You tend to “cling” to people, memories, and everything personal and sentimental. It is very important for you to have your own home, a “quiet harbor.” Your approach to life is emotional and subjective; you are sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, subtle moods, and the most delicate feelings within you and around you. Instinctive and irrational, you often cannot give a clear, simple explanation for your actions. Something is simply perceived as right or wrong. Your thoughts and opinions are colored by emotions and personal preferences. You view life from a very personal perspective and are often unable to mentally separate yourself from your personal inclinations or superstitions. You tend to prioritize how something will affect you and those close to you rather than the principled side of the issue or the broader social impact. For example, you may be very patriotic and believe that everything “my country” does is correct, without knowing anything about politics or the opinions of other nations. In simpler terms, “what is good for me and my loved ones is good,” and vice versa. You are extremely loyal to those you care for, go to great lengths to support and protect them, and have a very strong maternal instinct (regardless of your gender). You are attentive to others, intuitively understand their feelings and needs. Compassionate and sympathetic, you keenly feel others’ pain and are often the one people turn to when they need comfort, support, or help. Your mood often wavers and changes. Sometimes you are open, other times emotionally detached. You can communicate without words and value people who can understand the slightest hint without needing exhaustive explanations. You never forget either good or evil.
