Lagna in Aquarius 17°17'25"
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.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '24 Shatabhisha-4'
The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Shatabhisha.
You will have a soft body, excellent memory power, a wide forehead, attractive eyes, bright countenance, a prominent nose and a bulged abdomen. You would appear to belong to an aristocratic family at first sight. You will not hesitate to sacrifice your own life for upholding the truth. As you were born with certain principles, you have to quite often confront with others as you cannot deviate from your principles of life. Selfless service is your motto. You insist on following religious traditions. You are also of the adamant type. Once you make a decision it is not easy for others to change your mind. While you are very intelligent and efficient in most walks of life, your are very soft at heart. You are a mixture of good and bad. When provoked, you will rise like a bulldog, but that anger is soon subsided. As you do not believe in pomp and show, you have a feeling of shyness to exhibit your talents. However, your talents will be unearthed due to your interesting and attractive conversation, which will be highly instructive and educational.
Up to 34 years of age will be a trialsome period for your professional field. After 34 years there will be constant progress. You are highly suited for the practice of astrology, psychology and healing arts. Your literary capacity and greatness will come to limelight even when you are very young. You are capable of acquiring a very fine and high education. This Nakshatra has produced eminent doctors and researchers in medicines. Generally you have to face a lot of problems from dear and near ones. Even then, you always extend a helping hand to your family even without being asked. It has been noticed that you have to undergo maximum mental agony due to your brothers. You cannot enjoy much benefit from your father, whereas full love and affection is derived from your mother. It has also been found that you are not capable of leading a happy married life. While on the one hand you do not enjoy happy marriage life, your spouse will have all the good qualities that are expected of a companion.
Outwardly you may appear to have very good health but it is not so. You cannot tolerate even the slightest affliction to the body. You are prone to urinary diseases, breathing troubles and diabetes. As you are too much inclined for sexual pleasures, you may suffer from sexually transmitted diseases. Even though you may keep an illicit relationship, it will be kept a secret from all.

Rahu in 10th House
Your mission in life is for furthering some special cause in the world. Depending on your status in society and the planetary combinations, this special mission may be predicted, but the real impulse of this shadowy planet will be to make you dedicated to a cause which you will want to carry forward even at the risk of life, status, or health.
Undaunted by any difficulty, undeterred by any impediment, you will persist with a sense of dedication, whether you are waging a war of complete annihilation, reconstructing a social order, or composing verses of celestial beauty and harmony. Rahu achieves its objective despite whatever hardships it has to undergo. Its impulse produces persons of great merit, devotion, and religious susceptibilities. With inauspicious associations and influences Rahu can, however, make you disturbed and instill evil ideas in your head.
Rahu in the 10th gives rise to Raja Yoga during his own periods. Danger to mother at age 32, to father, at age 7 and to patrimony at age 8 is indicated. You get public honor and respect at age 42.

You have few sons. Danger from conveyances and danger and trouble for parents and brothers is indicated.
You are a manager, advisor or chief of a group. (Note: Rahu is in charge of a number of not so good qualities. The 10th is an important house. These things may only appear in thoughts, and they might not necessarily manifest, but this depends on the overall strength of the chart.)
You are sensual, extravagant, affluent, a winner, fickle, fond of poetry and drama, competition or confrontation, migratory, and successful in business. Rahu makes you a bit of an intoxicator, or wrong doer at times, and causes sleeplessness, living or working with foreigners, and sex with choice partners.
You find comfort and pleasure in the company of irreligious people, are discontented with own relatives or father, fall in love with divorced or separated persons, or persons from disturbed love affairs. You get support from strong persons, and are clever but tense. These things may be connected to career as the 10th rules career.

Ketu in Taurus 2°13'54"
Ketu in Taurus with Aquarius ascendent
Life holds little charm for you and you are always preoccupied in exploring the secrets of nature. Emotions, sensual pleasures, human relationships and material riches hold no attraction for you. Your greatest joy is realized only when your consciousness is united with the universal consciousness, though in ordinary life such an integration is difficult to achieve. There may also be some interest in the occult.
Ketu in 4th House
This Ketu can have a strong influence on life in the following way: It sometimes renders the mind unbalanced, disturbs social relationships and makes personal life difficult. Ketu manifests itself in the psychology of an individual rather than on the material conditions of life. Placed in the 4th house indicates that full support and help from the mother may have not been present. Often you are away from home, and when you are home, there is some strife. Ketu holds things back and upsets things.
The fourth house stands for mother, the heart, home life, real estate and emotional comfort. These particular issues in your life may have some troublesome aspects. You may find that you are not quite able to surrender your heart to something you feel pretty good about. Reservations for no reason may appear, for example. This will be Ketu acting, just to test your resolve to make you feel convinced and sure of what you do.
Ketu in the 4th may indicate that the mother holds back from giving to you for some reason, or that inheritance from her side is withheld. You leave the 'mother's home' early, and you are of the nervous type. In an assembly of persons, you may sometimes be looked down on, or not seen as equal to the others. Some kind of stigma is there. But you are valiant, truth loving, soft and sweet. Watch for an overly critical nature and unpleasantness with the parents.
Ketu in the 4th indicates that you may have a hard time getting or keeping real estate. Land and property may become a confusing issue at times - you may not know what to do about a piece of property in a Ketu ruled period for example. People may consider you in contempt. Ketu makes you thin and fiery. There will be some jeopardy of the honor of yourself or family. There might also be much strife or discord in the family background, especially coming from the mother's side.
Ketu in Lunar Mansion '3 Krittika-2'
You have to lead a life away from your near and dear ones. Bodily pain and devoid of wealth. Too much attachment to the opposite sex and wine.
