Lagna in Leo 6°55'19"
Leo in the Ascendant bestows a regal appearance, as if the life force is vibrating from every part of your body. You have a broad face with strong bones and beautiful and expressive eyes. You may be a possessive parent, egotistical and selfish in temperament, and a braggart. You are excessively libidinous, but not necessarily promiscuous. You are not satisfied with the material heights you attains and are always aspiring towards greater intellect, greater wealth, greater status, and greater respectability. Often you think you have achieved more than you really have; nevertheless, you are never satisfied, for you think you deserve more than you have received. You always strive to reach the top of the mountain.
You are basically materialistic, but like to assume that you are spiritually highly evolved. Involvement in work is intense and whole-hearted. You may be seen working adroitly on the subtle problems of life, whether related to physical sciences, psychology, or to concrete and technological problems in engineering, industry or economics. It is not the subject matter that is significant: Your complete involvement in whatever you undertake is of supreme importance to you. In that pursuit, your engagement of effort is total.
There is a suddenness in your actions, which gives you an element of surprise and unpredictability. However involved you may seem in a pursuit or relationship, you can suddenly end it. You are loyal friends, but that friendship can end suddenly. To some people, you may seem ungrateful. The world exists only for your convenience and the satisfaction of your desires. In your social relationships, contradiction and self-aggrandizement seem to predominate.
You may find married life difficult. Your spouse is very calculating and self centered, which are some of Leo's traits as well. Compatibility becomes difficult. In such circumstances, you often act in a clandestine manner, concealing certain aspects of your life. You do not trust others; equal partnership is not a common factor in your life. This placement gives rise to wealth in mutual combination.
The Sun is Lord of the Ascendant, Mercury Lord of wealth and Mars is of course Yoga Karaka. Thus all the three planets have acquired some power or other to do good. It will be seen that the Sun, Mercury and Mars play an important role in case of persons born under Leo Ascendant, while other planets will be able to do some good under certain special conditions.
One born in this Ascendant will be fond of eating meat and enjoying worldly enjoyments, will earn wealth and honor through the government, will be bereft of religion, dutiful in family affairs, hold a high rank of office, be majestic, strong, bold, be a miser, will trouble others, will wander in hills and forests and speak sparingly, be irascible, firm in friendship, careless, inaccessible (or inviolable), will destroy his enemies, have famous sons, honor the virtuous, will be rich through agriculture etc., be interested in business and will spend heavily on prostitutes and dancers. Spouse will suffer dental diseases.,
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '10 Magha-3'
The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Magha.
You will be very enterprising, will respect elders and be God-fearing. You enjoy leading a quiet life, and will be expert in various sciences and soft spoken. You will receive honor and recognition from learned persons. You will possess good knowledge about various arts, and will devote your time for the expansion of your culture and be actively involved in various cultural activities. Your dealings with others will be thoughtful, you try to avoid hurting others feelings, and immediately rectify the situation if you do. You do not care for any person who makes hindrance or causes trouble to others. As a result you may have several hidden enemies in your life.
You have a short temper when it comes to improprieties, be cautious that this does not affect your success. You will be generous and perform many philanthropic activities without concern for recognition. These activities may make you famous.
You will have great wealth and many people working under you. In the professional field you cannot attain much success materially as you are not business minded, mainly due to your straight-forwardness. However, you will be a fitting example of sincerity and hard work. This inherent quality of sincerity and hard work does sometimes pay you some lift but not to the extent when we see the balance. You are bound to change your field of earning frequently. Once you make a decision, you stick to that decision. Your dealings with your superiors and subordinates are very cordial and most technical. Hence you are able to be a link between your bosses and the subordinates.
This placement indicates you will enjoy a happy and harmonious married life with good children. You will be generous and helpful to your siblings. You may suffer from difficulty with your vision.
Sun in Scorpio 27°01'32"
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 Leo ascendent
You will earn abundant landed property, be learned and possibly famous.
You may feel a sense of loss, despite the fact that your material attainments are substantial.
Sun in 4th House
You view life in a regal way, with a thread of detachment - making the changes of life, or living itself, something you 'view' rather than identify with. It makes you detached from the masses. You require people to offer significant things in exchange for your friendship, or in other words, you want significant people as your friends. Therefore, ordinary people are not usually found to be very important to you in your own personal life. This is also the reason why you are at times faced with vindictiveness from jealous people, even though you deal very nicely with everybody.
You will earn money and power by your own efforts, and those who oppose you will find it difficult to 'win'. Your later career will tend to be better than your earlier attempts, and you will gradually attain a better situation and a strong personal character. The first half of life is made difficult in a number of ways, but gradually things improve. You will suffer deeply due to bad leaders, and may also experience weakness in the heart, or heart troubles. You will acquire a very prosperous career, but will suffer in some attacks or litigation.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '18 Jyeshtha-4'
Moon in Gemini 6°01'57"

(Note-: The Moon in Gemini ascending, gives the qualities of Mercury to the person in general.) The prominent nose will make the subject look beautiful. As Mercury is a eunuch, the person will make friendship with neuters or will enjoy sexual pleasures with barren partners. Worldly pleasures will be more important than spiritual pursuits. People born under this sign may be gifted speakers.
Moon in Gemini with Leo ascendent
The Moon enables you to work out many innovative schemes; your mind is fertile and your career ever-changing. In commerce and human relations your expertise and skill are extraordinary. You can surpass many seasoned practitioners in the legal profession as well. Your special area of interest will be politics, which may bring you great gains.
Moon in 11th House
When the Moon occupies this house, you gain easy success. With the Sun in this position you have to work hard and the reward is not commensurate with your exertions. But in the case of the Moon, money flows to you easily, without much effort. You possess 'many ornaments and different kinds of precious stones.' Gifts from overseas come in abundance. Your mind is always free from worries, particularly if the planet is powerful and well aspected. You are blessed with a very efficient spouse and have many well-behaved children. Your social circle is amiable and friends occupy important positions in life. Your mother has a special affection for you, and you receive valuable gifts from her. Gains from government favor in respect of fame, authority and valuables are indicated. All your operations prove fruitless. You are blessed with daughters and gain from trade in a variety of items. Your daughters develop defects in themselves that may be physical or moral. Normally wealth does not stay with any one individual; but with you it brings more wealth. This is the house of friends, hopes and wishes; gains from business, profession, jewelry and elder brothers are indicated. Strong Moon in the 11th house makes you a treasurer or treasury officer. You are wealthy and have a charming spouse. Both the opposite sex and wealth are loyal and stable to you. Your fame will never fade, and you are frank, tactful, handsome, modest, noble, reputed, lucky, surrounded by sincere friends and riches, renowned and talented. There will be varied pleasures and benefit of conveyances. You are contented and cheerful, contemplative, imposing, and bold. You will have children, live a long life, are charitable and have attendants. Innocent acts characterize you. If the Moon in this house is waning, in depression sign or in the sign of a malefic or enemy, you are denied all the aforesaid pleasures and gains. You remain sick, involved in foolish acts and are ignorant. You will have more daughters than sons. Moon in the 11th house gives more acquaintances than friends. You will be wealthy, will have many sons, be long-lived, will have attendants, be intelligent, sharp, valorous, splendorous, happy, wealthy, fortunate, be honored by the government, will face failures in undertakings, will obtain a son at age 50, be famous, endowed with conveyances and palatial buildings, will have more daughters, be intelligent, very learned, long-lived and will keep some hidden wealth.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '5 Mrigashira-4'
The star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Mrigashira.
You will have a beautiful and tall body, moderate complexion, thin legs and long arms. There is a peculiar tendency seen in you: you have a doubting nature, and are always suspicious of everything. You are very sincere in your dealings with others and you expect the same reciprocal sincerity from others which you normally do not get. Because of your sincere nature, others find it pleasant to deal with you.
But a word of precaution is necessary here; you have to be very careful while dealing with friends and relatives and also in any partnership business, as you may be cheated. Blind trust put on others will quite often lead you into frustration and repentance. You have a knack to deal with even those who ditch you. You have natural initiative, awareness, brilliancy of mind, eagerness and active agility, but as a result of your affectionate regard for others, you are buffeted by both circumstances and people.
You are a simpleton. You prefer a life of simplicity and principles. You always express impartial and sincere opinions. You can be impatient to the point of intolerance, when confronted with prejudice, judgment or action by others. While you express to respect and adopt others, it is never brought into your personal life. You act according to your own sweet will.
Outwardly, you express to the public, that you are courageous and will not hesitate to do anything which requires extreme courage, whereas you are an inborn coward. You will not have peace of mind and get irritated even on small matters. Your life up to 32 years of age will be full of trial and errors and would appear to be like a lost boat in the center of the ocean, i.e. the question of where to go, how to go and why to go will permanently rampage your mind without any conclusion. From your 32nd age onwards, life will start settling down to the maximum satisfaction provided other planetary positions are good.
You will have good education. You are a very good financial adviser. You advise others to curb the spending, but you cannot control the expenditure and at last find yourself in extreme economic conflict. You achieve success in life, including business if engaged, after the age of 32 years. Till that time you have to face several ups and downs. You often begin projects, rather than finishing the tediously routine tasks at hand. It is mainly due to percipience rather than weakness and above all your ability to understand the possibility of success or no success of a project in hand, discard it immediately and replace it with another which is more viable. In other words, you cannot undertake any permanent or continuing nature of work.
In some cases, it has been noticed that you have the capacity to undertake any sort of job but you become frustrated. This drawback is attributable to the nature of the very Nakshatra you are born.
The period between 33 years and 50 years will be a period of full of strength and activities followed with utmost satisfaction. During this period, you will achieve the benefits unexpectedly. But whatever you will be earning during this period, will be wasted later on due to your own fault.
No benefit will be derived from siblings. Siblings will not only cause troubles and problems, but also maintain extreme enmity so as to harm you. Your sincere love and affection will not have any effect on relatives. In other words, you are mistaken absolutely for no fault of your own.
Your spouse may not keep good health. Moreover, your married life is not cordial, mainly due to differences of opinion on silly matters, and the adamant nature of your spouse. In some cases, it is seen that the reason for the disharmony between you is mainly due to the better occupation in life by one of you, and the consequent inferiority complex.
You have to face ill-health during your childhood. Frequent constipation, ultimately leading to stomach disorder, cuts and injuries, and pains in the shoulders near collarbone are some of the physical problems you may have to deal with.
You have a strong physique and some identification mark on the side and back of the body. You are dealing with medicines, chemicals or cosmetics. Indicates water in the lungs.

Various diseases connected with the urinary tract or with blood circulation may afflict you; you may undergo surgery, and your sensuality is fiery and passionate. This combination is harmful to the marriage partner. Look for further afflictions to this Mars in the 8th before judging serious harm to the spouse.
Officers with Mars in their eighth house take a lot of bribes but are not caught. You may overeat till the age of 30. Later in life you might develop indigestion, and blood pressure. Long-life is helped with this placement. Weapons, or burns may cause death. Trouble for spouse and degradation are indicated. Friends become enemies, though you are respectably honored.

Rahu in Cancer with Leo ascendent
Rahu will make you highly emotional, receptive to premonitions from the other world and prone to fits of depression.
Rahu in 12th House
Rahu in the twelfth house of redemption makes the physical life difficult and upsets all established order. The expected course of life is not followed and you are forced to adopt a way of life in which there is much suffering, physical debility and psychological helplessness. Your movement is restricted, and mental anguish often becomes acute. But the ordeals of life caused by Rahu provide you with the celestial nectar.
After a big psychological purging, you receive a spiritual bath and are anointed into the secret mysteries of life. From the material standpoint, Rahu in the twelfth house is considered inauspicious, suggesting that the purging operation manifests through immoral acts and unfortunate events. In the ordeal of the spiritual path, such difficulties are necessary. Rahu functions as a karmic agent, producing trials so that the latent spirituality which is the true influence of the twelfth house may emerge. You are miserable, and however hard you may work, you do not get any success or gain, rather suffer losses, but ultimately you succeed in your desires and ambitions. You are the friend of the wicked and knave and enemy of the good and noble. You are very humble.
You have sharp pain in ribs and suffer from acute bilious pain in the chest and heart. With best effort you can not modify your early life, but the latter part is most fruitful. You are quarrelsome, idle, a debtor, cunning, immodest, rich, benevolent, and may suffer from ailment of the eyes, a wound in the feet, and a slur on the family.

Rahu in Lunar Mansion '9 Ashlesha-2'
Ketu in Capricorn 22°14'43"
Ketu in Capricorn with Leo ascendent
You will be non-materialistic in the sense of any covetous attachment to wealth and power. But by virtue of possessing these attributes and utilizing them to help others, you will earn the goodwill of many. These persons, however, in public or when face to face with you, will not express their inner regard and appreciation for your character; instead they will often accuse you of a bad temper, of being a hard master and a strict disciplinarian. In fact, you will be an austere person, and in spite of understanding of the failings of others will always encourage them to do better and seriously take them to task - thus justifying the allegations of strictness.
Ketu in 6th House
Ketu in this position affects the mental principle and enables you to develop the powers of abstract thinking. Deeper levels of contemplation, often leading to the higher realms where one solves the abstruse problems of one's inner life, may result from such a combination. Under this planetary influence you may achieve a remarkable conceptualization of abstract principles and a formulation of universal laws, but the problems of life are likely to mar your thinking. The final days are often sorrowful, full of physical suffering and a realization of the futility of human endeavor.
You experience enormous difficulties in life, and considerable humiliation during major periods of your earthly existence. It denotes discomfiture and disillusionment through maternal uncle and destruction of enemies. You might get some land-related wealth, but stay a pauper anyway. You have sound health and recover soon, if there is any ailment.
