Lagna in Virgo 12°18'42"
Virgo in the Ascendant allows the primordial feminine power to pour down into the individual's personality. You may not be constitutionally strong, but are pleasing in appearance, feminine by temperament, sharp in intellect, and capable of interpreting the thoughts of others. Given over to sensual pleasures, the spiritual quest will not be your forte. You like to be surrounded by respectable people, who could be famous as authors, tradesmen, lawyers, diplomats and even martyrs. You may attain material prosperity and be honored outside your immediate surroundings and country. You can be easily frustrated, and your passionate nature often leads to serious psychological complications. You may even have a psychopathic personality and often found to be deceitful, critical, manipulative and covetous of other people's wealth. You are full of anxiety for the world at large and usually do not have many children. You will be gentle, skillful in music, poetry and fine arts and in training or teaching others, be a sweet speaker, a liar, be affectionate, interested in charitable works and serving others, be endowed with goodness, enjoy others' wealth, wander, have a female's disposition, be modest, attempt to enlarge your landed properties, be fortunate, sensuous, virtuous, merciful and beautiful, will honor elders, be sinful, inimical to brothers, may have (more) daughters, be phlegmatic and windy in humor and will be away from base and inimical people.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '13 Hasta-1'
The Nakshatra ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Hasta. Physical features: you will be tall and of large stature, and may have mixed color with short hands in comparison to your body structure. There may be a scar or mark on the upper right hand or beneath the shoulder.

Character and general events: you will have a calm nature. There will be a peculiarity when you smile, in other words your sweet smile has the magnetic power to attract others. This inherent quality produces a vibration on others, and it becomes difficult to leave you once such acquaintance takes place. You can easily get respect and honor from the public. You are always in readiness to help the needy for nothing in return. You do not like to deceive others even if it may cost you your life. In spite of this good quality, the reward you may get in return is nothing but criticism and opposition.

You do not believe in a posh living. At one moment you may rise to the top and another moment you may fall to the bottom, whether in the professional field or mentally. Hence you cannot be categorized as permanently poor or wealthy. When you enter in a particular field and start gaining the object, reversal is already in store for you. While you try to get out of such reversal through your own effort, help comes from unexpected quarters and you achieve moderate success in the undertaking. It may appear that there is some hidden curse. The sincerity and endeavour which you show in work should give you a wonderful boost. Although you do not desire to cause any trouble to others, once you are hurt, you may be in search of revenge. At the same time you take consolation in the feats of God by thinking 'Let god give me this punishment' and you slowly withdraw from the scene of conflict.

Education, sources of earning/profession: in the work field, you keep strict discipline. Normally employment in a subordinate level is not fit for you. You are most likely to be engaged in business or in a high position in industry. You will possess excellent all around knowledge. You will show to the world that you are not behind anybody on any matter. You are a good adviser as you have the capacity to intervene and settle various disputed matters. Many responsibilities will have to be undertaken by you before you can climb the ladder of success.

Period up to your 30th year of age will bring in unexpected circumstantial changes both in the family front as well as in the academic and professional or business field. Period between 30 to 42 years of age will be your golden period, when you can settle down in your life. There will be remarkable accumulation of wealth and all around success in the business field in your later years.

Family life: you are able to enjoy a peaceful married life, even though occasional friction as is expected in a family will definitely be there. Your spouse will be simple and capable. Health: you may be prone to cough and cold.
Sun in Virgo 13°23'32"
Overall feminine physique, scholarly attributes, physical smallness, devoted to the father, expert writing abilities, knowledge, and the desire to serve the elders.

Sun in Virgo with Virgo ascendent
This is not conducive to longevity or may cause heavy expenses.
This placement indicates female children.
You may be a skilled writer, mathematician, or astrologer, and will have very feminine physical features. Your vitality will seem low and you will be secretive by nature. Your area of operation may be away from the home and will be for a humanitarian cause.
Sun in 1st House
The Sun in the Rising Sign symbolizes progress and good luck. The Sun in Summer Solstice brings disputes and makes you egocentric and selfish. The Sun in winter solstice promotes divinity. Exalted, well-aspected or associated Sun develops faith and confidence, coupled with natural ambition; bestows position of trust and influence; supports moral growth. The person with the Sun in the rising sign is tall, distressed with the spouse, children and brethren.

You suffer from excess bile and windy diseases and when in foreign land, from the financial ups and downs. You may have a poor appetite, are bold, modest, an actor, studious, have beautiful eyes, are diligent and well-placed. You may be lazy in function, give vent to anger, have a prominent personality, be honorable, courageous, impatient and unkind. You will be happy in money matters (though there may be occasional obstacles) and overall be happy.

You will have less number of children and will suffer from eye ailments. You will be fond of quarrels, dance, literature etc.. and be strong. Your body may be thin or emaciated and you are bald or have thin hair. You will speak only when required.

The Sun in the Ascendant will afflict virility, hence with simultaneous affliction to Jupiter, progeny may be few in numbers. Otherwise, with favorable Jupiter, the Sun in the Ascendant will totally deprive one of progeny.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '13 Hasta-2'
You may be employed as a clerk or accountant. You may suffer from cough and cold.
Moon in Leo 14°00'29"
Moon in Leo brings idealism in love, and you will desire affection from all directions. You will be fond of the opposite sex and enjoyment, calm, magnanimous, persevering, loyal to father and Guru, a good organizer, well-dressed, given to music art and sports, popular and respected. Some of the natural feminine qualities bother you because of how opposite they are to your mental nature. You may not eat well, have stomach disorders, tooth decay, eat meat, are harsh, like to copulate in the forests and hills, yet be charitable, respectful to your mother, valorous, dutiful and majestic looking.
Moon in Leo with Virgo ascendent
With the Moon in this position you achieve a name in the field of philosophy, and in the understanding of mysterious and abstruse knowledge; you serve your mother, your country, and the cause of true knowledge.
Moon in 12th House
Having Moon in the 12th house encourages some worldly engagements, which lead to worldly reactions. Pleasures of sex, the arts, dabbling in various subjects without a sincere desire to find truth, and so on, lead to the kinds of unwanted displeasures that come to us all to different degrees.

You have the Moon (mind-significator) in the 12th house (liberation from worldly entanglement). Thus, your mind spends time thinking about how to liberate yourself and others from worldly entanglements. Yet, you keenly feel a large set of restrictions or confining forces, which are not necessarily bad. Therefore, this is a suitable position for doctors, lawyers, and people of religious orders. You can keep secrets.

You love occult things, mystery, romance, and deep things. However, you may lack firmness and stability in character. You may have trouble in one eye, be frugal, and distrusted by others. Others may see you as suspect. There may be loss of wealth, and disputes in the family. You turn to addictions for comfort. Look for these indications during Moon-ruled periods.

You suffer anxiety from 'enemies' or 'opposition'. You are a philanthropist. You are not attached to the opposite sex in general, or at some point it becomes important that you give up that attachment. You have unfulfilled desires. You undo yourself at times, i.e. you subvert your own life with your own thinking, which may or may not be a bad thing. You sometimes feel dejected after love-making. You may have problems with addictions of some type, not necessarily bad ones, but some type.

Moon in the 12th causes damage to the left eye, or the eyes on general suffer. You have a hard time maintaining your morals, and your health. There may be some question regarding your birth. The relatives of your parents are annoying to you. You may have to move in order to escape some botheration. The appetite is weakened by this Moon, who also indicates that you are deprived of good food, incur wasteful expenditure, will be of angry nature, unhappy and will not be liked by others.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '11 Purva Phalguni-1'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Purva Phalguni.

Physical features: you have an attractive personality, and a stout body with mixed color. Frequent sweating, and a snubbed nose are indicated. Character and general events: you like full freedom. It is seen that you become famous in one field or another. However, your mind may be full of disturbances over one or the other matter. You have inherent intuitive powers to know the problems of other people. Hence, even before the help is requested for, you extend a helping hand to the needy. You will possess sweet speech and are fond of traveling.

Education, sources of earning/profession: you choose not to be a slave to anyone. Because of this quality, it is quite often noticed that you will not take up a job which involves subordination in its true meaning. There is a drawback in you that cannot be a 'yes master' even to your boss in the case of employment. You are not in a position to derive much benefit from your superiors. You want to be sincere in all the work you undertake. Neither can you be a party to any illegal activities nor have the power of tolerance to see such activities. This condition of your mind may drag you into several complications in life, but you are ready to face such problems. You do not like to get any benefit at the cost of others. You may have several hidden enemies. Hence, such enemies stand as a main obstacle in your progress. However, you are able to subdue such enemies and attain much success in all the work you undertake. You enjoy power. You give preference to position and authority rather than money.

You pursue a righteous path of progress and may devote your valuable time for such a cause. Even though you are able and intelligent you cannot necessarily reach the place of your dreams. It does not mean though that you will not rise in life. In the employment field, you will frequently change your job, particularly at the age of 22, 27, 30, 32,37 and 44 years. You will attain the requisite position only after your 45th year of age. While you do not want others' money you may be frequently in trouble in the financial matters because of others. In other words, borrowers may not return the money to you. In spite of all the adverse positions mentioned above you will, after your 45th year of age, reach a good position where power and authority vests in you. In the business field you can shine well.

Family life: your married life will be happy. You will have a good spouse and children and also derive much happiness from them. In some cases it has been noticed that you may not marry the person of your choice. You will lead a life away from your birthplace and other family members.

Health: your health will generally be good. However, you may be prone to dental disease or digestive disorders. Even so, no permanent nature of disease is noticed.
You are courageous. You have trouble getting along with the opposite sex, and adore your mother. You may suffer from poverty and thus may suffer from hunger. You may earn out of chemicals or a hospital, and will have a good spouse and duty-bound children.
Mars in Taurus 22°33'56"
You are an ambitious, practical, capable manager, who shows foresight, is inventive and undeterred by obstacles. Afflicted Mars indicates great financial losses through bull-headedness. Likes to break the vows of chaste persons, eats voraciously, little wealth, few sons, jealous, will maintain many people, is not trusting, plays violently, speaks harshly, is fond of music, sinful, inimical to relatives and brings infamy to the family.
Mars in Taurus with Virgo ascendent
You begin spiritual lessons differently and receive setbacks in your personal life, face many perils, and come in contact with highly evolved souls. Premonitions from the unknown draw you toward the world of inner knowledge. From suffering you begin the spiritual journey.
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 '4 Rohini-4'
Wealthy and fond of the opposite sex and wine and fickle-minded. You will also indulge in illegal activities and earn money out of such activities. Smugglers and drug sellers come under this category. (May be altered by aspects and house placement. But this is a star reading only, therefore it's affect may be only somewhat apparent.)
Mercury in Virgo 5°14'38"
Your intelligence or deeper thinking capacity is very strong, giving you understanding of finer things, original thinking, retentive memory, and fondness for discussion and literature.
Mercury in Virgo with Virgo ascendent

You might be a sculptor and are strong and well-built. Even in old age, you appear youthful. It is difficult to find Mercury alone in the Zodiac. Therefore, this planet can not give good or bad results alone. It is pliant and supple and ready to absorb the characteristics of the sign posited in and the planets aspecting or associated with it. Mercury is known as being neutral, sexless and convertible. If Mercury is in masculine signs, you may take to journalism or feature writing.
