Lagna in Lunar Mansion '21 Uttara Ashadha-2'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Uttara Ashadha.
You have a well-proportioned, tall body with a broad head, long nose and bright eyes. You are of charming and graceful appearance with fair complexion. You will be refined, soft-spoken, pure-hearted and have an innocent looking countenance. In case you happen to occupy a very high position in society, you will not like to express pomp and show and will dress simply. You give respect to all and are God-fearing. It is not easy for others to find out your underlying merits and demerits. It is only after several acquaintances and dealings one can come to a conclusion about your behavioral aspect. In most of the cases, it has been noticed that there will be a black mole around your waist or on the face. A slight reddish color is noticed in your eyes.
You will be very plain in your dealings and will show utmost sincerity in all the work you undertake. You will not deceive others and would not like to cause any trouble to others. So much so, due to your inherent good behavior quality you often land into uncalled for problems. While you are plain hearted, you will not give in to any pressure and will not bestow full confidence on anybody. But once you take a person into confidence nobody can change you. To a certain extent, you are slave to flattery and expect that others must look after your welfare. You will not make any hasty decision, whereas full consultation with trusted persons will be obtained before coming to a conclusion.
While you are very much involved in all activities you undertake, usually you are lazy. Even in the state of conflict you cannot utter harsh words directly and in spite of a difference of opinion you will not like to express your unhappiness to others. Any discussion you make with others will be without expressing ill-will. You are bound to shoulder many responsibilities at a young age. Due to this you are fully trained to shoulder any responsibility with perfection. Once you are convinced that any action carried out by you or words uttered by you happens to be wrong you will not hesitate to repent and express regret. Your every action requires recognition by others. Otherwise, you are dragged into the state of unhappiness. You are subjected to maximum happiness at one stage and the maximum unhappiness at the next. You have to be very careful in any controversial dealings. Before any collaboration is made, you have to completely screen the persons with whom you are entering into such collaboration. Otherwise, failure is certain. The time after the age of 38 years will mark all-round success and prosperity.
Normally your childhood will be somewhat better. But later on you may have to face a lot of unexpected reversals and problems on the family front. It has been noticed that between the age of 28 and 31 some important change takes place in the family circle. Your married life will be more or less very good. You normally get a responsible and loving spouse. At the same time the health of your spouse will be a cause of concern. Your spouse will have problems of acidity. In spite of the comparative advantages mentioned above, you lack happiness from children and they will be a main cause of concern.
You are prone to stomach problems, paralysis of limbs, and pulmonary diseases. Poor eyesight or some defect in the eyes is indicated as well.
Sun in Aquarius 8°58'37"
Your Sun's position pushes you towards illicit romantic liaisons, which you will have to struggle to avoid. Watch for heart trouble. You may find that your past dealings with others leave you in a position, where others see you as unpopular, and to be avoided. The best way to avoid this is to avoid its cause, which is a tendency to dominate and manipulate, caused by having a very strong thinking capacity, which may put you over others who are simpler in mind. Watch for these tendencies during Sun ruled periods. If not major Sun period comes in the current life, then perhaps these things will not ever manifest very. You have great strength and courage, but a short temper. In some way or at one point in life you will gain through other peoples' marriage partners. If this only comes once in life, then it is of little concern. Otherwise, this may indicate the ability to be a divorce attorney, marriage counselor, etc. Due to something you believe or do, you may be not liked by the truly learned, probably due to some connection with 'lowliness'. There is an underlying current of unhappiness or sorrow running through your life. This is not necessarily bad, as it may push you on towards spirituality for answers. However, this Sun indicates some low vibrations in Aquarius, so watch out for being fraudulent, a traitor, dirty or miserly.
