Taurus in the Ascendant bestows a pleasing face, a small thick neck, plump thighs, broad shoulders and a well-built muscular body. Amiable by temperament, artistic in nature, libidinous in character, you can be categorized as essentially materialistic. Fond of luxury, favoring romance, but tending to cultivate bad company. Self-respecting and happy, mostly in the middle and latter portions of life.
Yogakaraka Saturn, although owning the 9th and 10th house, produces a Yoga which is hard to collect on. It's a Yoga, but a difficult one to fully realize, depending on the placement of Saturn in the chart. Venus ruled periods should be good for money. Mars ruled periods produce financial prosperity, Jupiter periods are mixed. You like to win, will have the tendency of gathering wealth right from youth, will have a broad and strong forehead, nose, cheeks and lips, be industrious, fortunate, liberal, be devoted to your parents, will have many expenses, be very short tempered, phlegmatic and windy in humor, be the parent of (many) daughters, will insult your own people, be not very religious, be interested in affairs for romance, fickle-minded, fond of food and drinks and endowed with various kinds of clothes and ornaments. These are general tendencies, caused by the Ascendant sign, subject to great modification by the entire horoscope.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '4 Rohini-3'
Rohini is the star ruling your Ascendant or Moon.
You are normally of slim physique. However, based on other planetary positions and aspects, short structured and fatty persons have also been seen. Your eyes are very attractive with a special magnetic touch. Appearance is very beautiful and attractive, big shoulders and well-developed muscles. You are short-tempered. Once you get angry, it will not subside so easily, and nobody can change your decision. You become extremely obstinate, if someone attempts to override your opinions or thwart your plans. You remain oblivious to any advice or ideas counter to your own. You have a special knack to find fault in others. You are ruled by your heart rather than your brain. While you are ready to sacrifice everything for loved ones, you will not hesitate to cause extreme trouble to the hated. You feel impressed with your own work. Acceptance of the truth and discard of the false is your plus point.
Your life is full of ups and downs, as you do not try to pre-plan your objectives. You can attain great success in life, provided a little restraint is kept in the freedom of your mind. There is no tomorrow for you. You spend everything for the sake of today's comfort.
You can shine not only in any independent profession or business but also in social work. As far as possible, you try to be more sincere and honest in all the work you undertake. But you lack patience and forgiveness. You try to be a jack of all trades, and in the process you fail to pass through the path of requisite rhythm and system. Your freedom of mind will quite often lead you to downfall. It is also seen that some Rohini born persons have risen from the lowest rung of life to the highest rung due to other planets in the chart being very well placed. You may earn from milk products, sugarcane or as a chemical engineer. You are best adapted for mechanical and laborious work.
Between the age of 18 and 36 will be the most trialsome periods. You will have to face a lot of problems economically, socially and on health grounds. It is often noticed, that such people enjoy their lives best between the age of 38 and 50, and 65 and 75. One of the primary factors to keep in mind is that you should never take anyone into confidence. You have to be extra careful with business partners and employees. There is an inherent drawback in you, that you blindly believe others. For a happy existence, it is suggested that you should screen people thoroughly before confidence is bestowed on them.
While you cannot enjoy full benefit from your father, you will be more attached to your mother and maternal uncle or anything maternally related. You will not hesitate to throw away any social or religious laws when warranted. Hence your married life will be marred with disturbances.
You are prone to diseases connected with blood, spoiled blood, blood cancer, jaundice, urinary disorders, blood sugar, tuberculosis, respiratory problems, paralysis and throat troubles.

Sun in Leo with Taurus ascendent
You will have good employment and career.
You may establish a link with the very essence of existence, and consequently your capabilities for spiritual knowledge are greatly increased. Your consciousness is almost identified with the universal consciousness, and a ray of divinity sparkles through your behavior and disposition. You attain a regal status and acquire property. Your intellect is sharp, but very few people feel comfortable with you; even your mother may be estranged.
Sun in 4th House
You view life in a regal way, with a thread of detachment - making the changes of life, or living itself, something you 'view' rather than identify with. It makes you detached from the masses. You require people to offer significant things in exchange for your friendship, or in other words, you want significant people as your friends. Therefore, ordinary people are not usually found to be very important to you in your own personal life. This is also the reason why you are at times faced with vindictiveness from jealous people, even though you deal very nicely with everybody.
You will earn money and power by your own efforts, and those who oppose you will find it difficult to 'win'. Your later career will tend to be better than your earlier attempts, and you will gradually attain a better situation and a strong personal character. The first half of life is made difficult in a number of ways, but gradually things improve. You will suffer deeply due to bad leaders, and may also experience weakness in the heart, or heart troubles. You will acquire a very prosperous career, but will suffer in some attacks or litigation.

If this Moon is in depression, aspected or associated with a malefic, you know no peace or happiness in life. Marriage after age 32 to an unchaste person is indicated. You are sweet and soft-spoken, own a palatial home and might have two marriages, if the Lord is strong. If the Moon is exalted, full, or in its own sign it will give one marriage and you tend to be contented with one spouse only. You will be amiable, happy, will possess a good physique and be sensuously disposed. If the weak Moon be so posited, you will be pitiable and sick.

There is difference of opinion among the various authors inasmuch as some say there will be wealth with this placement while yet others say this position will cause poverty.
