Lagna in Aries 28°57'31"
Aries in the Ascendant allows you to be fearless, ambitious, courageous, and eager to take initiative. An idealist by nature, you strongly want to contribute to society and you wish to change things. Routine is not for you, you like originality and fresh beginnings, and you want credit for your achievements. You create awe and radiate energy in achieving your goals, which makes others uncomfortable. You will find difficulties when dealing with women, education and expressing yourself. To obtain your highest potential, you need full freedom without restriction. Your idealism may create some contradictions. Outwardly you will be active, but inwardly lonely and frustrated. If you could be freed from mundane entanglements, you could readily attain to divine planes due to your goal-oriented and idealistic nature. Be careful of fire. You will be interested in visiting foreign places, be miserly in disposition, emaciated, not happy, jealous, stammering in speech, troubled by bilious and windy diseases and complaints of heat, be skillful in performance, timid, religious, famous, not very thoughtful and will destroy others' wealth. You will be fickle-minded, enjoy pleasures, have bad nails, be bereft of brothers, be discarded by your father and have inactive (or unlucky) children. You are endowed with various kinds of wealth and are virtuous. Your spouse will belong to a base family, be virtuous and reproached. You will derive happiness and wealth in undesirable manners. (This is a classical reading, somewhat unchanged, and is ridiculously general if taken literally, so don't take it literally. Look to the energies and tendencies indicated herein, not the literal words).
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '3 Krittika-1'
Your Ascendant or Moon is under the 3rd Nakshatra or star, which is called Krittika.

Physical features: Normally you are of middle stature. Your nose is prominent and your eyes sympathetic, the neck is thick and stout, you have a solidly built body with big shoulders and well-developed muscles, your countenance is peaceful and your behavior respectful. You have a commanding appearance. While you are on one hand very intelligent, on the other hand you cannot pursue any goal for long. In other words, you easily get bored with any particular thing and jump on another without knowing the pros and cons. You are capable of rendering good advice and telling others the solution for any problem. But in your own life, you spontaneously do what you think at a particular time.

You will discard any friendship, if that friendship questions your ego and freedom. But at the same time, you do not like to achieve name, fame and wealth through unfair means or through the mercy of others. Your needs or wants are not beyond reason, nor your accumulations always spectacular. Although your money making abilities are often phenomenal, your motivation however derives from an emphatic wish to remain free from obligations.

You cannot find fault in your own actions. Optimism followed with self-pride is one of your characteristics. You are determined to go ahead with great energy and show your stubborn and tenacious nature. Orthodoxy and monotheism are combined in you, i.e. while you are orthodox you do not believe in age old blind belief and customs. Persistent effort and hard work are your motto. You are eager to render some positive service to the world, but you cannot shine for long. You involve yourself in public life sincerely, but loss and failures are the ultimate outcome.

This drawback is attributable to a lack of ability to move according to the situation. You try to impose certain restrictions and control through self-assessment and modify them according to your sweet will.

Once a promise is made, it will be carried out at any cost. In public life you can attain name, fame and respect. Excess of sincerity will be the means of your downfall. Frustration starts hunting you even on small matters and leads you to outburst. Once you get heated up, subsequent steps will be dangerous. Hence you have to observe maximum mental balance and keep away the outbursting temperament.

Remarkable ability will be shown in arguments and counter arguments with reasoning. It is quite often seen that you will be bereft of truth and money, and undertake unnecessary travel. You are thankless and will utter cruel words. You will not stay in your home town. That means, your livelihood will be in foreign land. When I say foreign, it is not necessary that it should be a foreign country. Foreign land can mean a little away from the place where you were born.

Partnership business is not suitable. You derive benefits from the government. You could be an engineer, doctor, treasury department, draftsman. In case you are interested in business, you can derive maximum benefits from yarn export, medicines and decorative industries. A large legacy at any part of your life is awaiting you.

You are very slow in any work. Hence for success in life, you are advised to increase the speed while doing any work, as otherwise you may be dragged behind others.

You are generally lucky in married life. Your spouse will be expert in household administration, dedicated and devoted, faithful and virtuous. With all these plus points, health of the spouse will be a concern for you and/or circumstances may so be created that you have to quite often live separately. When I say separation, it may be due to work or ill health to either of the family members i.e., parents of the spouse etc. and not due to disharmony between the two of you.

While you have to confront many obstacles in various walks of life, you will be contended and lucky in the family field, where you enjoy the utmost satisfaction and peace. You are more attached to your mother than to your father. Among your siblings, you will enjoy more favor and love from the mother. While your father will be a pious and well-known person, you cannot enjoy comforts and benefits from him.

Your life up to 50 years of age will be full of trial and you have to face frequent changes in surroundings. However, period between 25 years and 35 years and between 50 years and 56 years will be very good. Love marriage is indicated to you. You have a good appetite but you cannot have a systematic food habit. Diseases to which you are prone to are dental problems, weak eye sight, tuberculosis, wind and piles, brain fever, accidents, wounds, malaria or cerebral meningitis. Whatever may be the condition of your health, whether good or bad, you are not afraid of any disease, nor are you are ready to observe the daily care of your health.

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.

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.

Moon in Taurus with Aries ascendent
The veil of illusion is cast over your life, engrossing you in those objects of sensual pleasure which are coveted in the physical world. But you are happy and satisfied with your wealth, status, property and sense of well-being.
Moon in 2nd House
The Moon in the second house makes you very talkative, prosperous, of sound body and have a very charming personality. You are romantic and find pleasure in other peoples company - ignoring your own spouse and family.

The second house stands for wealth, finance and hereditary position. Full Moon in this house bestows you with promising progeny and wealth. But, if it is dark or feeble, you may stammer, be poor and unwise.

You are sensitive to the changing Moon, have many friends and are soft spoken. You may suffer from poor digestion and loss of appetite. Dark or feeble Moon, despite of benefic aspect, causes loss of acquired or inherited property and obstructs earning and further acquisition of wealth.

You will enjoy incomparable happiness and friends and will be wealthy. You will be plentiful in wealth and grains, be physically sound, famous, and wise and spend your time joyously with the opposite sex,. You may lose money on account of your sisters and daughters.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '5 Mrigashira-2'
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.
Mars in Cancer 14°30'32"
Inventive, ambitious, enterprising, sensuous. Inclined to medicine or surgery; gains through traveling; occultism. If afflicted, there may be troubles for your mother or troubles through land, property or partners danger from fire and theft. Stomach and vision problems. This is the sign of fall for Mars. Likes to live off others, may be deformed or sick, own riches through agriculture, has good food and clothes during childhood, but is raised by others than the parents very often, gains wealth through water, and is repeatedly anguished and always distressed.
Mars in Cancer with Aries ascendent
But with Mars occupying this sign, you become abnormally restless, fail in real estate, and get into trouble due to sexual relationships. You quarrel with your family, are estranged from your mother, and have troubles in marital life. Professionally, however, you are likely to rise quickly and become extravagant.
Mars in 4th House
Mars precipitates the impact of past karmic deeds, especially those of an adverse nature. Ordinarily, Mars is a planet of selfishness, greed and rash action, which, in the long run, catches up with you in the form of physical or psychological problems. Mars creates impatience, impulsiveness and self-centeredness, unless it receives auspicious aspects or is in exaltation or in its own sign. As a result, you may be considered cruel, inflexible and covetous by nature. Under such circumstances, Mars may produce affliction for the mother, loss of property, dependence on manual labor to earn a livelihood and constant movement from one place to another. Generally, you are not born into a respectable family, are abandoned by siblings, favor bad company and involve yourself in tawdry sexual affairs. You earn your living by serving bad people. Don't expect much gain through friends and relatives. You are apprehensive of enemies, get government favor, doles of clothes and fabric through the rich. Mars in this house denotes quarrels with parents, disputes in family, unpleasant domestic affairs leading to misunderstandings and strife. NOTE: Understand that this is a negative Mars placement, as Mars by its nature is not very compatible with the nature of the sensitive fourth house, and take the things mentioned in here as areas to look to for these impacts, but not necessarily as 'drastically' as they are described.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '8 Pushya-4'

Mercury is known as being neutral, sexless and convertible. If Mercury is in masculine signs, you may take to journalism or feature writing.
