This is an excellent essay to help examine your natal astrology further, especially father symbols in astrology, because in your chart they point to your life calling which may be something you are not aware how directly they are connected. Also, I really have a lot to say about selfishness and how others perceive us, and astrology has taught me quite a lot about myself in this regard because I have a similar pattern as you in my chart, but before I embark on that, I do have to clear up one inconsistency I encountered reading your chart

Since there is a discrepency between the different house methods on where my Ascendant, would you say it's could be generally said that my Ascendant is a Cancer/Leo cusp?
What does a Cancer/Leo cusp mean to you? In a whole house system every house cusp corresponds to a zodiacal cusp, so there is little meaning in having an ascendant on a cusp. This isn't a discrepancy or an error in the methods, it is just a different method and the meaning you get is slightly different.
What a whole house system does differently in your chart is place your Mars in your first house, while the method I use places your Mars in the twelfth house. In both systems your Mercury is placed in your first house and your Sun remains in the twelfth. Interpreting Mars is the difference.
Do you express your will energetically or rebelliously?
I wanted to take some time to think about this. A bit of both, it seems. I know that I identify with a more iconoclastic and revolutionary mindset, like William S. Burroughs or John Waters, rather than a more status quo type like Dan Savage. But all of my thirties have been an emerging from anger, and learning from it and transforming that energy into something positive. I like to think that if a heretic has any positive vision in one age, it may become tradition in another age. I think that I have been more rebellious in the past, but am becoming more energetic.
You do understand the quality of your natal Mars, which is often associated to yang energy, masculinity, possessive actions and emotions like anger. To explain my question a little more, Mars in Leo (in any house) can be described as energetic and Mars in the first house often expresses this in such a way that it is notable to others. A twelfth house Mars in Leo can also be energetic, so I admit my question was a little sly, but this question also asked you to consider how rebellion has played into your realization of your energetic nature and your answer reflects the placement of Mars in your twelfth house
