Lagna in Aquarius 2°27'21"
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 '23 Dhanishtha-3'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Dhanishtha.
Normally, you have a lean body with lengthy figure. In exceptional cases you may have a stout figure. You will be expert in all work you undertake. You have an extremely intelligent mind and all around knowledge. You do not like to cause any trouble to others. It has been seen that you have a religious spirit. You always like to live by your own caliber and effort. You dislike to express disagreement with others till the last moment. Most of us are probably aware of the elephant's revenge. That is, if any person or any animal cause trouble to the elephant, the elephant waits for an opportunity to bounce on them. In the same way you wait for an opportunity to pounce on others with whom you have a score to settle.
A number of horoscopes that I have examined reveal that most scientists and historians are born in this Nakshatra. Since there is an inherent talent of keeping secrets, you are quite suitable for secret service, or being a private secretary to senior executives. Whatever may be your academic background your intelligence is beyond question. In argument you are much ahead of others. Hence lawyers profession is the best for you. After age 24, there be progress in the earning field. Since you will be engaged in the profession or trade where you have to trust others, you should be very careful before putting trust in others. In the family circle you will be the uppermost administrator. Your relatives will cause a lot of embarrassment and problems. You are more inclined to brothers and sisters. You will have ample inherited property subject to the placement of planets in beneficial position. You cannot have much benefit from in-laws. But this drawback will be nullified due to the presence of the good qualities of your spouse. Any improvement in the financial field will be only after marriage.
Your health may not be so good at times. But even then you will not care about it. It is only when the illness reaches the peak you start finding a remedy. Slightest improvement out of the severest disease will drag you to the work field. You are prone to coughs, anemia etc. However, you will not be in a prolonged state of illness.
Sun in Capricorn 22°29'47"
This brings the following general characteristics, which get modified by specific aspects and other placements in your chart: This is average or below average of help to the overall life, causing interest in low class persons, greed, working in low jobs, timidity, lacking relatives, being fickle, a wandering mentality and weakness. You are endowed with various deeds, will lose everything due to conflicts with your relatives and will be a voracious eater.
Sun in Capricorn with Aquarius ascendent
Your spouse may have secret relations with others and may be inimical towards you at times.
When the Sun occupies this sign, you lose your identity. You may never marry. Your craving to reach the highest social status and the deepest occult understanding makes you almost a social outcast; your life-path often arouses great protest from other people.
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 '22 Shravana-4'
Moon in Leo 15°33'32"
Moon in Leo brings idealism in love, and you will desire affection from all directions. You will be fond of the opposite sex and enjoyment, calm, magnanimous, persevering, loyal to father and Guru, a good organizer, well-dressed, given to music art and sports, popular and respected. Some of the natural feminine qualities bother you because of how opposite they are to your mental nature. You may not eat well, have stomach disorders, tooth decay, eat meat, are harsh, like to copulate in the forests and hills, yet be charitable, respectful to your mother, valorous, dutiful and majestic looking.
Moon in Leo with Aquarius ascendent
The Moon in this sign and house will often result in a weak or ailing spouse who is incapable of providing adequate amorous warmth and brings other complications into wedded life as well. A person with this combination often becomes a much-married individual.
Moon in 7th House
You are passionate, possessing an attractive spouse from whom you acquire much wealth. There will be gain from voyaging, trade, speculation, water products and partnership; on land, from grocery shop, milk and milk products, chemist shop and hotel industry. You could be a commission agent or insurance agent. Avoid litigation, as Moon in the 7th house causes trouble and loss through it. You marry a devoted spouse who is also very healthy. Such a spouse alone can give full sexual pleasure. Gains from sale and purchase, roving on land or foreign trade abroad are indicated. You enjoy tasty food, are sensual, thin and lean and vanquished by the enemy. The 7th house denotes marriage, partnership and enemies etc. You are handsome, healthy, wealthy and wise, famous, kind, always traveling, itinerant, dominated by spouse and debauch. If exalted or full, this Moon gives a beautiful and charming spouse, and you yourself are wealthy and handsome. If this Moon is in depression, aspected or associated with a malefic, you know no peace or happiness in life. Marriage after age 32 to an unchaste person is indicated. You are sweet and soft-spoken, own a palatial home and might have two marriages, if the Lord is strong. If the Moon is exalted, full, or in its own sign it will give one marriage and you tend to be contented with one spouse only. You will be amiable, happy, will possess a good physique and be sensuously disposed. If the weak Moon be so posited, you will be pitiable and sick. Notes: If the Moon is in the 7th one will be happy in marriage, will earn wealth in business in foreign places, will enjoy food, will sexually enjoy many partners, will be very sensuous and be liberal. There is difference of opinion among the various authors inasmuch as some say there will be wealth with this placement while yet others say this position will cause poverty. It obviously depends on the state and Lordship of the Moon.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '11 Purva Phalguni-1'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Purva Phalguni.
Physical features: you have an attractive personality, and a stout body with mixed color. Frequent sweating, and a snubbed nose are indicated. Character and general events: you like full freedom. It is seen that you become famous in one field or another. However, your mind may be full of disturbances over one or the other matter. You have inherent intuitive powers to know the problems of other people. Hence, even before the help is requested for, you extend a helping hand to the needy. You will possess sweet speech and are fond of traveling.
Education, sources of earning/profession: you choose not to be a slave to anyone. Because of this quality, it is quite often noticed that you will not take up a job which involves subordination in its true meaning. There is a drawback in you that cannot be a 'yes master' even to your boss in the case of employment. You are not in a position to derive much benefit from your superiors. You want to be sincere in all the work you undertake. Neither can you be a party to any illegal activities nor have the power of tolerance to see such activities. This condition of your mind may drag you into several complications in life, but you are ready to face such problems. You do not like to get any benefit at the cost of others. You may have several hidden enemies. Hence, such enemies stand as a main obstacle in your progress. However, you are able to subdue such enemies and attain much success in all the work you undertake. You enjoy power. You give preference to position and authority rather than money.
You pursue a righteous path of progress and may devote your valuable time for such a cause. Even though you are able and intelligent you cannot necessarily reach the place of your dreams. It does not mean though that you will not rise in life. In the employment field, you will frequently change your job, particularly at the age of 22, 27, 30, 32,37 and 44 years. You will attain the requisite position only after your 45th year of age. While you do not want others' money you may be frequently in trouble in the financial matters because of others. In other words, borrowers may not return the money to you. In spite of all the adverse positions mentioned above you will, after your 45th year of age, reach a good position where power and authority vests in you. In the business field you can shine well.
Family life: your married life will be happy. You will have a good spouse and children and also derive much happiness from them. In some cases it has been noticed that you may not marry the person of your choice. You will lead a life away from your birthplace and other family members.
Health: your health will generally be good. However, you may be prone to dental disease or digestive disorders. Even so, no permanent nature of disease is noticed.
You are courageous. You have trouble getting along with the opposite sex, and adore your mother. You may suffer from poverty and thus may suffer from hunger. You may earn out of chemicals or a hospital, and will have a good spouse and duty-bound children.

You might use harsh words, indulge in sex and gambling and always quarrels with your relations. You gain money through agriculture and trade, are learned in logic and eat meager and unsavory food. You take pleasure in journeys and vexation. Your speech is fumbled, you are unlettered and have disrespect for the dead. You are voracious, blessed with sons have debts, are tolerant, industrious, fortunate and feel contention and disrespect for your spouse and other relations. You are lean, sensuous and of reddish complexion. If Mars is well placed and aspected, you gain in eloquent discussions. You can not realize the utility of the wealth you inherit from your relatives. You squander it away or hoard it. Hostility and stinginess stand in the way of your relations with everybody, including your own family members. You would rather die than leave their 'wealth'. You have a hard time with 'give and take'. You tend to be proud of your bank balance which has neither any social good nor personal use, except that it is drained away as fines, on litigation or lost to thieves. Mars of Dhana Bhava brings success through enterprise, legacies and inheritance, but there will be losses too. Desire for sudden gain from lottery, game of chance and speculation.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '26 Uttara Bhadrapada-1'
You mostly wander in distant land or foreign countries. You have to face loss of money through deceit, and finally when you approach relatives for financial help, you will be discarded by family members.
Mercury in Capricorn 22°27'28"
In your thinking or deeper consciousness, you know the sorrows and grief of the common people. You understand the plight of the working class, and probably your Karma is such, that you will live your life in that way or at least out of sympathy and compassion you will be coming for that consciousness, defending it and fighting for it.
Mercury in Capricorn with Aquarius ascendent
You may make an original contribution in the field of education. Your fame will be extensive, but you will wander from place to place, often without adequate financial support.
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. This planet contributes only what you have already acquired. Mercury in the 12th is good for getting in contact with righteous persons and for warding off losses and failures. You spend on good causes, and the learned persons like you. Your failures come of your own misdeeds. You may even turn against your own people to follow your path. You may feel hostility towards your own kinsmen or society and go against them. You are true to your word and learned. You might go against social code to earn your living. You are skilled in noble acts, and interested in spiritual things or divine sciences. Ultimately success comes. Fear from government or authority is present.

Jupiter in 8th House

Consequently you become learned, industrious, and interested in the scriptural knowledge of your tradition and the higher values of life; you practice severe penance as well as arduous rituals.
Nonetheless, the desire for sexual union drives you to marriage, possibly with widowed partners, or with 'religious' people. The spouse may come from a religious concern. Fame and prosperity, patrimony or legacy are indicated. This Jupiter is responsible for imprisonment due to strife.

You are deprived of a harmonious family life. You live extravagantly and dissipate your energy in useless activities, but emotional and sensual satisfaction elude you.
Venus in 12th House
Venus produces a material impulse. It leads you towards sensual gratification and involvement in unethical relationships which bind the soul strongly in chains of materialization. One may remember that Venus is the advisor to the demons who command the anti-devic (godly) forces. The advice given by Venus can lead you to adopt bad actions which will require scores of lives to release the soul from bondage.
These activities are produced by passion, lustful intentions, psychologically acquisitive tendencies, and ritualistic or overly formal religious observances. These tendencies are greatly accentuated when Venus occupies the twelfth house, which can finally fix you in your pleasant sleep (of illusion) and in the enjoyment of a comfortable couch (karmic bondage).
You are successful in service but interested in independent business. This placement denotes mental restlessness and little financial gain. You are ethical and value affection, but are incapable of giving pleasure. You can be a successful poet, writer, painter, singer, dancer etc. You sometimes earn money. Have your excess bile checked.

The presence of Ketu in the ninth house leads to a blossoming of liberated consciousness regardless of the sign involved. This planet, though shadowy, has a most potent effect in dissolving all material attachments. It disengages you from the physical conditions of life and links you with the universe at large.
