Lagna in Libra 8°55'01"
A Libra Ascendant usually bestows a long face, an attractive appearance, tender eyes and sparsely set teeth. You are generally above average height, lean and thin. Mentally, you are disorganized, emotionally unstable and socially unbalanced. You are extravagant, generous, helpful and simple at heart. You crave social contact and the assurance that other people need you. You are also subject to contradictory thoughts and actions. You are fond of justice and law, but easily irritated. Your friends and benefactors tend to be well positioned individuals, but you can also associate with dishonest people who, unfortunately, might stick with you for years. Physically you appear strong and healthy, but you may secretly suffer from diseases relating to the loins and kidneys, and should take precaution against urinary tract infections. You may have a strong desire for artistic achievement, but fail to actualize it. Saturn is a very powerful planet for you. Jupiter is not very good. You are fond of helping the lowly, and so much so that you may use base acts to achieve your goals. You respect spiritual leaders, because they respect principle centered persons, but you are often too driven to stick strictly to principles yourself, but would rather see to it that the objective gets carried out.

The Sun in the ninth house does not discourage you from religious observances; rather the intensity with which you apply yourself to such observances is quite severe, even fanatical. The mind is sharp and you are clear about your goals in life. The greatest problem is egotism. Depending on other conditions, you may be a heartless self-promoter moved by a strong libido. You are interested in the higher aspects of life, but the interest is only skin-deep.
Sun in the ninth is not very helpful for your father's longevity. Early life may have been difficult, middle life, easy and later life, unhappy. You are wicked, and good deeds are not the outcome of noble thoughts. These are performed out of vanity and to beguile others. However, all this goes to your favor.
You gain popularity and are considered virtuous and religious and therefore, praised. Mentally, you are at war and worry, your deeds are not backed by sincerity. You are not fair and just, even to your brothers and therefore, suffer at their hand. You live a life of constant worries and anxieties.
Essentially, you are vain, showy and therefore an opportunist. That's why you change directions like a weather-cock. You are unlucky, uneducated, irrational, characterless and a debauch. You get wealth, friends and sons, but are denied love and affection from the father and partner. You have strained relations with your maternal uncle, are head strong and will not listen to the advice given by your father or preceptor.
You readily change faith. You love truth, have beautiful long hair, are the well wisher of your family and revere the learned and saints. You experience sickness in childhood, are well settled by the middle age, handsome, and blessed with longevity and wealth.

You are religious, in a conventional way. You follow the teachings of your tradition and practice helpfulness, sympathy and charity, but your attachment to worldly objects and sensual gratification is as conventional as spirituality. You are comfortably situated, but towards the end of life you may experience an intense frustration which opens you to the path of true spiritual awareness. You are lauded by the populace, wisemen, and the bard. Fortune smiles on you since early youth. You are of sound physic, but your courage fluctuates with the changing Moon.

If you do so, you can overcome the above inherent affliction. Since you may be over sincere in work and to other persons, even the slightest problem which may be confronted could land you into mental agony.
