Lagna in Capricorn 6°32'16"
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 '21 Uttara Ashadha-3'
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 Sagittarius 2°00'00"

You will be endowed with wealth, dear to powerful persons, learned and be skilled with mechanical items used in competitive areas.

Sun in Sagittarius with Capricorn ascendent
You may face a lot of illnesses during childhood, and as an adult you experience difficulties in attaining prosperity.
Miserliness is increased with the Sun in this sign, which produces great physical strain. All joy is absent from your life. In this emotional desert, there is hardly anyone with whom you can share your difficulties and ordeals; you often get into trouble with the government. Towards the end of your life, you become sad and disillusioned.
Sun in 12th House
You are interested in the real essence of manifestation. Having withdrawn from the objective plane of existence, the soul dwells in subjective reality. It produces spiritual forces strong enough to counteract or restrict development along purely materialistic lines. Since one's father represents the creative energy in man and thus leads to the furtherance of manifested creation, the Sun (father) in the twelfth is not favorable for your biological father, nor do you spend your vital energy in creative channels.
You withdraw from the path of going forth, on which you get involved in materiality. You are not interested in money, marriage, social status, and so on. Some may therefore consider you anti-social.
You are free from physical pain, but eye troubles are indicated. You are victorious in competition, self-controlled and successful in everything you lay your hand on including obscure or unpopular occupations.
This placement denotes trouble from uncle who may meet danger in journey. Your eyes and uncle are hard hit. Unexpected loss of wealth or a strange sickness may be on the way.
You possess a mercurial temperament, are convert and heretic, scared of leaders and thieves, anti-social and irreligious. You are blessed with a son and fortitude. You may be physically deformed, are a wanderer, foolish, sexy, debauch, and cruel.
Your spouse may be barren, hostility to your father is indicated, and you tend to be weak and mean.
Sun in the 12th causes damage to the right eye. Much expenditure through the government (by way of taxes, fines etc.) is indicated.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '19 Mula-1'
Your parents will feed large number of poor people and do other charitable work.
Moon in Scorpio 17°23'10"
Active and generally successful in most areas of life, travels much, even from early on, moves around, has affairs at times, has artistic tastes, is independent, has good determination, is devoted to mother and has interest in the occult. This is the sign of fall for the Moon. Self centered, has a rough body, is cruel, a thief, sick in childhood, industrious, skillful, possibly spouseless, devoid of relatives, not graceful and possibly wild, valorous, will lose to government, and has possibly a large belly and large head.
Moon in Scorpio with Capricorn ascendent
The Moon gives no benefit in this position. Your marriage partner may become a cooperator and abettor in criminal acts. Chances are good that you will become a smuggler.
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.

Mercury in 12th House
Mercury helps you receive cosmic inspiration and thus it is always creative. It is a neutral planet, as it does not contribute anything of its own, but transfers subjective messages into objective manifestation and transmutes objective experiences into subjective awareness. In this state, the occupancy of the twelfth by Mercury can be effective whether the soul is withdrawing from the path of materialization, or whether it is pursuing it. For this reason, one finds that you are a skilled craftsman, succeeding in what you do, interested in religious activities, but also able to deceive others.
