Lagna in Aquarius 5°29'46"
Aquarius in the Ascendant is not a common placement and is considered very good for spiritual life, but if you are not spiritual, then you may be very materialistic. Hard lessons are going to be taught to you, and you will have to face difficult tests. You should be proud of this. Temptation and truth are two words you will come to understand. The two refuse to live together. You will be tempted with the ups and downs of this world and if you give in, it will overtake you. But if you surrender to divine truth and serve it, it will also overtake you, which is a better choice. Aquarius Ascendant tends to make one an average person. This Ascendant makes material life somewhat of a drudgery by increasing the chances of being a simpleton, an outcast, poor, etc. It does however promote devotion to elders and traditional values.

You always like to live by your own caliber and effort. You dislike to express disagreement with others till the last moment. Most of us are probably aware of the elephant's revenge. That is, if any person or any animal cause trouble to the elephant, the elephant waits for an opportunity to bounce on them. In the same way you wait for an opportunity to pounce on others with whom you have a score to settle.

A number of horoscopes that I have examined reveal that most scientists and historians are born in this Nakshatra. Since there is an inherent talent of keeping secrets, you are quite suitable for secret service, or being a private secretary to senior executives. Whatever may be your academic background your intelligence is beyond question. In argument you are much ahead of others. Hence lawyers profession is the best for you. After age 24, there be progress in the earning field. Since you will be engaged in the profession or trade where you have to trust others, you should be very careful before putting trust in others. In the family circle you will be the uppermost administrator. Your relatives will cause a lot of embarrassment and problems. You are more inclined to brothers and sisters. You will have ample inherited property subject to the placement of planets in beneficial position. You cannot have much benefit from in-laws. But this drawback will be nullified due to the presence of the good qualities of your spouse. Any improvement in the financial field will be only after marriage.

Your health may not be so good at times. But even then you will not care about it. It is only when the illness reaches the peak you start finding a remedy. Slightest improvement out of the severest disease will drag you to the work field. You are prone to coughs, anemia etc. However, you will not be in a prolonged state of illness.
