Lagna in Aries 2°51'31"
Aries in the Ascendant allows you to be fearless, ambitious, courageous, and eager to take initiative. An idealist by nature, you strongly want to contribute to society and you wish to change things. Routine is not for you, you like originality and fresh beginnings, and you want credit for your achievements. You create awe and radiate energy in achieving your goals, which makes others uncomfortable. You will find difficulties when dealing with women, education and expressing yourself. To obtain your highest potential, you need full freedom without restriction. Your idealism may create some contradictions. Outwardly you will be active, but inwardly lonely and frustrated. If you could be freed from mundane entanglements, you could readily attain to divine planes due to your goal-oriented and idealistic nature. Be careful of fire. You will be interested in visiting foreign places, be miserly in disposition, emaciated, not happy, jealous, stammering in speech, troubled by bilious and windy diseases and complaints of heat, be skillful in performance, timid, religious, famous, not very thoughtful and will destroy others' wealth. You will be fickle-minded, enjoy pleasures, have bad nails, be bereft of brothers, be discarded by your father and have inactive (or unlucky) children. You are endowed with various kinds of wealth and are virtuous. Your spouse will belong to a base family, be virtuous and reproached. You will derive happiness and wealth in undesirable manners. (This is a classical reading, somewhat unchanged, and is ridiculously general if taken literally, so don't take it literally. Look to the energies and tendencies indicated herein, not the literal words).
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '1 Ashwini-1'
Those born in Ashvini Nakshatra will have a beautiful countenance. The eyes will be bright and large, the forehead broad and the nose little bigger. You may appear to be very calm and quiet, but capable of getting your work done unnoticed by others.
You are very stubborn in decision. This stubbornness is more predominant in the case of a person born during the period from April 14th to April 28th, when the Sun will be transiting your exaltation place in Ashvini and from October 14th to October 28th, when the Sun will be transiting your debilitation place in Swati.
There is a saying that even Yama, the god of death, cannot change your adamant attitude. Those born in Ashvini of other months will have stubbornness in a lesser degree. You will remain faithful to those who love you and will not hesitate to sacrifice anything for such persons. Ashvini born is the best friend in need, provided others understand them. You keep your patience even at the time of greatest peril. But it will be a hurricane task to console you when you go berserk. You are the best adviser to persons in agony, but you deeply resent and fear criticism, see suggestions from others as a frightening attempt at manipulation.
You take your own time to do any work. Even so, your actions may be slow but well thought. You will not jump on any matter without examining pros and cons of each item of work. You cannot be easily influenced. Once you carry out an action or work, whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, you will stick to what you have done, come what may.
You are a firm believer of God, but there is no room for religious or other sentiments. You are orthodox but in a new style i.e., you believe in modernization of orthodox method and belief. Even though you are quite intelligent, at times you make mountains of even small matters. This leads to a lack of mental peace and a desperate sort of mood.
You are always interested in keeping the entire surroundings neat and clean. If the birth is in between 2 degree to 3 degree of Ashvini, you are very much arrogant for nothing. You may be a deceit and a smuggler. If all other combinations are good, you may have wealth but cannot enjoy it. You will bring bad name to the family.
You are jack of all trades. You are generally fond of music and interested in literary pursuit. Periods up to your 30th years of age will be full of struggle. You have to face obstacles even for small matters. From the 30th year, there will be steady and continuous progress which will continue up to 55 years of age. One of the predominant features noticed is that you are very stingy, but your expenditures will be more than your income, due mainly to your pomp and show. You are inclined to meet your desires and needs at any cost.
You love your family in entire sincerity. However, you are subjected to hatred by your own family members due to your adamant behavior. Affection that was expected and the care that was required, cannot be derived from your father. In other words, you and your siblings will be neglected by your father. Whatever help you may derive is only from the side of your maternal uncle. Maximum possible help will come from those who are outside the family circle. Normally marriage takes place between 26 to 30 years of age. There will be more sons than daughters. Your health will generally be good.
However if the birth is between 2 degree and 3 degree of Ashvini, your health will be poor. You are prone to migraine headache, heart trouble, etc. You must follow remedial measures.
Sun in Scorpio 14°10'33"
You will have quite a taste for combat or competition. This placement causes the urge to stray from the Vedic path, to lie, to be dull, to lose the spouse or have an uninspiring spouse and to be cruel. You may be course, a miser, fond of quarreling, troubled by weapons or attacks from others, by fire and poisonous things and may be unfortunate in respect of parents.
Sun in Scorpio with Aries ascendent
This placement indicates physical adversities, loss of finance, few children, if any, or they may be sickly.
There will be some unhappiness arising primarily from failure to achieve your desired goal. Surgery and humiliation will cause some kind of problem which is difficult to identify.
Sun in 8th House
In general, the Sun in this house makes you lean and thin, mentally unusual, disliked and abandoned by relations. But if the zodiacal sign is supportive, the solar influence here may lead to much interest in spirituality or the process of initiation.
The Sun of the 8th house is mostly malefic, as it is posited in a bad house. This house denotes wills, legacies, chronic diseases, loss of wealth, extravagance, suits and quarrels, death, co-workers and occult matters. Planets occupying this house incline to an interest in occult science; if without a planet, life runs on conventional lines till the ruler receives strong aspects. You are a crafty impostor and lewd. Life is hard and difficult.
You travel widely and associate with low class persons, eat unscrupulously, squander away wealth or loose it by theft. Secret vice brings infectious diseases and poor health. You can neither make others' life happy, nor, your own. Possibility of sudden or early death is indicated.
You are handsome, but indolent, prodigal, spend-thrifty, and suffer from piles, are adulterous, travel wide and are quarrelsome. Absence of offspring, weak sight, wealth, violence, sickness and hard work are indicated. You are neither rich nor happy, and might suffer the loss of some dear one. Generally you are less wise, short-tempered and of poor mental and physical health. These are the disqualifications for a successful and happy life. You are fickle-minded but generous, and ready to serve the wise and learned. You tend to be characterless, prudent, talkative, long-lived and serve the low caste, get little happiness from sons, suffer from eye troubles and get a wound or boil on the head during the 10th year.
Note: With the Sun in the 8th house, you will always undergo miseries, will establish relationships with persons of foreign origin, will lose wealth in thefts, will face severe and secretive dangers, will have a beautiful physique akin to that of (waxing) moon, will incur financial danger from all sides, have a weak sight and physical distress, will contact incurable venereal diseases, will always fight with others, will have few friends and some wealth, will not be steady in the career and only have limited progeny, but be a skillful astrologer.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '17 Anuradha-4'
You are the master of various arts. You possess a great talent for sound judgment. You enjoy being in the company of the opposite sex, and are extremely sincere in all the work you undertake.

Moon in Aries with Aries ascendent
Causes Raja Yoga.
Amiable and wealthy (though finances may fluctuate). Your eyes will be round and voluptuous, always longing for romantic love.
Moon in 1st House
You will be gregarious and will want everyone to appreciate you. This will be especially true when the Moon is in female signs. You can suffer from somnambulism or sleepwalking. Another way to take this is that you are sleepwalking sometimes during the daydreaming in life. You take your mental life very seriously. Handsome but fickle. Scared of water or sickness. In your 15th year you can travel much. In general context it is stated that the Moon in the Ascendant can make one cunning, short-statured, valorous, happy, liking nice milk-based foods, interested in astrology, famous in the later part of life, subject to perils, and disbelieving of your spouse.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '2 Bharani-3'
Bharani, the star over your Ascendant or Moon brings the following characteristics: You are generally not well-liked, in spite of the fact that you are pure hearted and do not harm anyone. When you want to express your opinion in any matter, you are just not bothered about the sentiment of others. You will not like to get anything for yourself by buttering. Come what may, you are not ready to work against your consciousness whether you are, according to others, right or wrong. Due to this attitude you have to face a lot of resistance and failures. You won't hesitate to spoil the relationship even with near and dear ones on small matters. But when you are convinced of your fault, you will completely forget your enmity and start reciprocating sincerely. Tactful behavior is alien to you. You are far away from a state of obedience. Arrogance quite often leads to miseries. Subordination is equal to death for you. When you have to bow to others, you become pensive. Advice and encouragement have no room in your mind. You will generally be having a good all around education, and you have the capacity to go deep into any matter. You will shine well in public life. You tend to face criticism and loss of wealth. You like to command others and will always be eager to establish supremacy. You cannot march forward without hurdles and will have to face stiff competition, and in the long run will quite often have to face failure. To others, you may appear to be arrogant, but the truth is that you are pure hearted.
Life is full of ups and downs. It is advisable that you do not get involved in unnecessary arguments or competition. You will fight for certain principles, which will ultimately lead to trouble. You are fond of spreading rumors and wasting time by humors. There will not be any good or bad periods for long time. In short you have to face a life of good and bad always. You are quite capable of looking after others but you need someone to look after you. Ultimately friends turn against you. You cannot establish permanent relationships with anyone. There is never a permanent good or bad time.
After 33 years of age, there will be a positive change in your surroundings, in life overall, and in livelihood. You are fit for any type of work, particularly in administrative job, business, agriculture and small scale industries. You may make money through sports, music, art advertisement, automobile, restaurants or you can also be a good surgeon or judge. You can be successful in the business of tobacco items or cultivation of tobacco. You will attain success in all undertakings, provided you establish or start any activity by proceeding to the eastern direction first. The place of activity or business may also be in the eastern side or eastern direction from your house.
Marriage comes around 27 years of age. You are fortunate in conjugal bliss. Your spouse will be expert in household administration and well-behaved. Your spouse must save money for a rainy day, as you may make some impulsive purchases, whether there is money left for other purposes or not. You love your family and dislike being away from family members even for a day.
While you do not take care of your health, there won't be any serious health problem. Main possible diseases are dental problem, diabetes and bodily pain, high fever, apoplexy. Normally, you are a very poor eater. You believe in the principle of 'eating to live', not 'living to eat '. You are afraid of water and you should be careful while traveling through water, bathing in rivers, ocean and ponds. Injury in the forehead and just around the eyes. Since you may be a chain smoker, you have to be careful about your lungs.
You have two spouses. You will be highly respected and loved by many. You are kind to the needy and poor. You are fond of hot drinks and earn from silk, cotton, fertilizer, hotel or agricultural produces.

Engineering insight, intellectual giant, large-hearted, enthusiastic, both by speech and action. Favorable to lawyers, military tactics. Gains through marriage - more than one union is indicated. (If afflicted trouble through brothers, relatives, friends and over estimation.) Many losses through traveling and wrong employment. Many wounds or scars, sometimes starved, a harsh speaker, crafty, alienated, a warrior, happy with hard work, loses happiness and money due to anger and will not honor elders.

Mars in Sagittarius with Aries ascendent
You will jump into spiritual exploration, may be very earnest and will desire to radically transform your life. You will travel extensively and will be known for your learning and wisdom. You may sacrifice personal conveniences for spiritual attainments.
Mars in 9th House
Mars interests you in the spiritualization process, which takes you through difficult and varying sets of experiences depending on your special temperament and past Karma. You may be a great egotist, a valiant fighter, a bigoted religious fanatic, a dedicated and self-sacrificing leader, or even a frustrated artist or scientist, but in any event there will be a spirit of indomitable determination which will finally, after all mundane responsibilities are over, place you on the path of righteousness and spirituality. You are a reformer with a modern out-look. If you do not exercise self-control, you will destroy all orthodox beliefs. You break marriage sanctity. Some person may remain unmarried and others have to marry twice to take care of the children. This is a suitable placement for doctors, but not so good for lawyers; it is gainful for engineers, fitters, goldsmiths, iron smiths, but unsuitable for police officers. Don't expect any promotion without strife. You might run for government elections. You are very sharp, rational, brilliant and fortune by luck, as under malefic Mars all efforts are futile. You may have no elder brother or brother-in-law or you do not gain from either of them. You are hard working, have a strong drive, and live by industry or by luck. The former, even if it is a lion-like effort, is denied its reward. You are not allowed to boast that you have earned by hard work. This Mars can not afford any labor to fructify under its influence. Of course, if you have acquired any fortune due to last life, Mars will not create any hurdle in its consumption. All pains to acquire wealth will out-weigh their results. You are vicious, wealthy, reputed, adorable, debauch, fortunate, gain from agriculture, undertake fruitless journeys, are dignified, irreligious, suffer from heart burning and there might be trouble to your father. You are malevolent, sick, trapped, unfortunate, shabby, gentle, fond of learning, immoral, impotent, and your eyes, hands and body are discolored. You live with low people, might be cruel or violent at times and have distressed criminal tendencies. Beware of trouble from poison and fire and danger from voyage, litigation and through disputes. You might have bleeding feet, and feel weak. Gain comes after age 28. You might engage in trade by waterways. You have an enthusiastic mind, and are sometimes irrational, impulsive and too independent. If Mars is under good aspect you are jealous and enterprising; he will act impulsive in fiery signs, and somewhat passive in earthy or watery signs if in airy signs, you will ignore all discipline either legal or moral. Mars in this house may give religious fervor.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '19 Mula-2'
You have a wounded or scarred body, harsh speech, and are dependent. You will have success after great struggle. Normally you are not matured up to 40 years of age. Hence any progress in life can be achieved only after this age.
Mercury in Scorpio 2°14'24"
For some reason, due to the past, your deeper thinking or intelligence, has become rather quick and reactive and you may feel somewhat argumentative and sarcastic towards others. Overall in life, your thinking puts you on an impatient or resentful course. Therefore, it behooves you to find a way of thinking that calms you down and gives you a spiritual course.
Mercury in Scorpio with Aries ascendent
You may be occupied in a secret, perilous business. Peace of mind will be absent, and you may develop degenerative diseases in old age.
Mercury in 8th House
Mercury has the special characteristic of retrieving from past influences things which strengthen the mind, as a result of which you are able to cultivate relationships which are conducive to material prosperity, eminent status, and considerable wealth. Under this impulse, you are able to explore mystical, virgin areas of nature which open up exceptional opportunities in life.
On the physical plane, however, you beget very few children and suffer from stomach and thigh ailments. This position of Mercury is gainful, as it gives longevity, prosperity, land and property. You may have several children and get high status at age 25. Government favors and annihilation of the enemy are indicated.
You are glorious, enjoy a long life and are renowned in own and foreign land. You are cheerful, gain through business and enjoy the pleasure and confidence of the opposite sex. You are blessed with longevity, reputation and wealth, may be debauch but famous for your qualities, are hostile but philanthropic, ungrateful, vicious, sexy, a liar and ailing.
You might get wealth from the government. You are proud, antagonist of the people, disrupting and devastating. You are a magistrate, support your family and are considered a distinguished personality, who is truth loving and honors the guests. The end is peaceful.
Mercury in Lunar Mansion '16 Vishakha-4'
Jupiter in Taurus 0°49'09"
This placement adds an air of fairness and kindness and will tend to make you homebound. You will like to gain through wisdom, your partners or spouses in life, your children or through teaching children or leading others. Like all readings, if this placement is afflicted, quite the opposite may result.
Jupiter in Taurus with Aries ascendent
You are rich, well-placed in life, religious and righteous, but will not be entirely free from social and physical difficulties.
Jupiter in 2nd House
You may have a second marriage late in life. Jupiter in the 2nd gives many good qualities along all general lines such as education, looks, wealth, family, etc. It is an overall positive placement. Some of the favorable attributes are: handsome, scholarly, skilled, poetic, reputed, friendly, social, perfect, benevolent, modest, rich and getting royal favor at age 27. You might be fickle at times, a little too heavy of a leader to your own people, rich, and happy with a beautiful partner. This placement can make adversaries, especially through speaking out.
You are generous, considerate, enlightened, get appreciated merit, are adept, contented, dispassionate, polite, fond of noble company, bold, scholar, discreet, and have business wealth and conveyances. Accumulation of wealth, royal authority and power are indicated. You are healthy, sociable, love delicacies, are cheerful, wise and logical. Wealth is indicated in the 16th year. Late marriage is possible, as well as early separation or death of the father, leaving no patrimony. If it is there, there will be hostility between you and your father.
Your education might be incomplete, and your family or society may criticize and oppose you. Your heart and mind are in poetry - both composition and recitation. Because of your religious inclination and your sense for justice, you would make a fair judge or director giving rewards or punishments. This placement might not promote a sexually active life, as you tend to not like the period following the act of sex. To others you may not appear to have status or wealth. You speak sweet and short. Relationship with family and relatives is good. Your honor matters to you very much.
Jupiter in Lunar Mansion '3 Krittika-2'

Venus in 9th House
Venus provides a sensitivity which enables you to vibrate to a higher frequency and learn how to dissolve your self-consciousness by merging it with something else. The object of assimilation may be an ideal for which you fight, a goal you want to achieve, or even the beloved with whom you desire to be with, but the central theme in all of these is self-forgetfulness, aroused by sensitivity and the desire for union with something sublime, higher than oneself.
You are a money-lender; all are indebted to you. There isn't a man in town who does not take a loan from you. They pay interest and make you richer. You are religious, charitable, into daily distribution of free food and known for piety. Gain through brothers, servants, attendants and relatives is indicated.

You will be able to maintain a great deal of secrecy about yourself. You prefer to be known only through your actions. You will attain fame and status unexpectedly, but will die a saddened individual.
Saturn in 8th House
Saturn in the eighth house puts a powerful lid on past auspicious influences, forcing you to meet the everyday trials of life with no help from past Karma. Under such rigorous conditions you become bewildered, having been abandoned by relations, abused and tormented through no apparent fault of your own, and put to physical hardships which require great stamina to bear. In some cases, finding your helplessness acute, you begin to seek pleasure through dissipation, though under favorable circumstances you may begin pursuing an arduous spiritual path which, though it may not eliminate sorrow from your life, may reveal the deeper meaning that life and destiny awaits you after your period of trial. Long life is indicated and you may live in a foreign land where being caught as a thief is punished. Much sorrow, piles, poverty, cruel, friends avoid you. You are quarrelsome and bilious and death might occur in a foreign place due to heart trouble, cough, cholera etc. You are sober but bold and fearless. Your children are cunning. You live till up to 75 years of age. You tend to be poor, in service and have contact with low class persons. There will be financial difficulties due to several restrictions. You have unhappy dreams and are at times interested in occultism. This position of Saturn is not good but keeps you alert till the last breath: you get premonitions, esp. if 4th or 5th house is occupied by malefics. A benefic in these houses will keep you unconscious in your last moments. Fortune comes after age 36. You are denied the company of virtuous people, will be separated from your own people and live with the lower persons. You are far from being generous, very narrow-minded, and nobody can cheat you. You might suffer great loss of wealth, be ailing and often find fault with others. You are very clever, scared of diseases, ill-reputed, lazy, gluttonous, miserly, tend to be perverse at times, and are kind and timid. You have few children and a weak eyesight.
Saturn in Lunar Mansion '17 Anuradha-3'
You will have difficulty showing others compassion. You will enjoy a good period after your 52nd year, and will gain from your employer. You may suffer from internal, unexplainable sorrows but show external expressions of joy.
Rahu in Aries 8°15'45"
Rahu in Aries with Aries ascendent
Generous.
Rahu in 1st House
You make a great stride in life and might get honor, wealth and favor through religious, educational and scientific achievements. You have a dominating personality and are of promising self-expression. You receive gain and happiness through own initiative, but are slow to pick up new ideas and averse to formal education.
A conqueror of enemies. You make the glory and influence of other people an instrument of your own success. You can effectively utilize your own powers and wealth for yourself and others. You might not be satisfied with your own spouse and may wander. You gain competence with the help of friends with effective grace. You are always ready for work and may have two marriages, and a charming spouse. Quick to hold discussion. Lots of troubles and suffering are indicated as well. Bad qualities may surround you on many sides.
Rahu in Lunar Mansion '1 Ashwini-3'

Ketu in Libra 8°15'45"
Ketu in Libra with Aries ascendent
You strain the marriage partner, but generally you maintain moral integrity. You may become psychologically unbalanced, and your behavior may seem uncoordinated or unpredictable. You push things to the extreme, but can pull back and make everything all right again. Thus, living with you is anything but boring.
Ketu in 7th House
Ketu in the 7th adds openness to sexuality outside of the norm. Also however, it makes you able to understand spiritual possibilities as well. Ketu is a planet greatly involved in the spiritualization process, and the 7th house primarily stands for relationships.
Ketu in the 7th house usually indicates that the spouse, if any, will be shrewd in dealings. The marriage partner may be a difficult person with some problems perhaps. You can be immodest, needing lots of sleep or being lazy, feeling humiliated and thus speaking humbly. Watch for intestinal and sex organ diseases during Ketu periods.
Be careful of trouble from government agencies at these times as well. Ketu in the 7th indicates danger from journeys and water, so be careful with these during Ketu periods. Ketu in the 7th means some trouble while traveling but you generally come back fine. Watch for losing money during Ketu periods. Watch for trouble through spouse/partners and sons.
