Lagna in Capricorn 25°28'34"
Capricorn in the Ascendant indicates you are probably tall and well built. You can, however, have a weaker and leaner lower body. You are very hardworking and persevering, but you have to watch out for melancholic moods. You also have to try to curb the ego at times. You are careful with others and respectful of them, but at the same time anxious to achieve your own ends. Other factors permitting, you can be very religious. You also tend to respect the occult.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '23 Dhanishtha-1'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Dhanishtha.
Normally, you have a lean body with lengthy figure. In exceptional cases you may have a stout figure. You will be expert in all work you undertake. You have an extremely intelligent mind and all around knowledge. You do not like to cause any trouble to others. It has been seen that you have a religious spirit. 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.

Sun in the ninth is not very helpful for your father's longevity. Early life may have been difficult, middle life, easy and later life, unhappy.
