Lagna in Leo 2°15'39"
Leo in the Ascendant bestows a regal appearance, as if the life force is vibrating from every part of your body. You have a broad face with strong bones and beautiful and expressive eyes. You may be a possessive parent, egotistical and selfish in temperament, and a braggart. You are excessively libidinous, but not necessarily promiscuous. You are not satisfied with the material heights you attains and are always aspiring towards greater intellect, greater wealth, greater status, and greater respectability. Often you think you have achieved more than you really have; nevertheless, you are never satisfied, for you think you deserve more than you have received. You always strive to reach the top of the mountain.
You are basically materialistic, but like to assume that you are spiritually highly evolved. Involvement in work is intense and whole-hearted. You may be seen working adroitly on the subtle problems of life, whether related to physical sciences, psychology, or to concrete and technological problems in engineering, industry or economics. It is not the subject matter that is significant: Your complete involvement in whatever you undertake is of supreme importance to you. In that pursuit, your engagement of effort is total.
There is a suddenness in your actions, which gives you an element of surprise and unpredictability. However involved you may seem in a pursuit or relationship, you can suddenly end it. You are loyal friends, but that friendship can end suddenly. To some people, you may seem ungrateful. The world exists only for your convenience and the satisfaction of your desires. In your social relationships, contradiction and self-aggrandizement seem to predominate.
You may find married life difficult. Your spouse is very calculating and self centered, which are some of Leo's traits as well. Compatibility becomes difficult. In such circumstances, you often act in a clandestine manner, concealing certain aspects of your life. You do not trust others; equal partnership is not a common factor in your life. This placement gives rise to wealth in mutual combination.
The Sun is Lord of the Ascendant, Mercury Lord of wealth and Mars is of course Yoga Karaka. Thus all the three planets have acquired some power or other to do good. It will be seen that the Sun, Mercury and Mars play an important role in case of persons born under Leo Ascendant, while other planets will be able to do some good under certain special conditions.
One born in this Ascendant will be fond of eating meat and enjoying worldly enjoyments, will earn wealth and honor through the government, will be bereft of religion, dutiful in family affairs, hold a high rank of office, be majestic, strong, bold, be a miser, will trouble others, will wander in hills and forests and speak sparingly, be irascible, firm in friendship, careless, inaccessible (or inviolable), will destroy his enemies, have famous sons, honor the virtuous, will be rich through agriculture etc., be interested in business and will spend heavily on prostitutes and dancers. Spouse will suffer dental diseases.,
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '10 Magha-1'
The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Magha.
You will be very enterprising, will respect elders and be God-fearing. You enjoy leading a quiet life, and will be expert in various sciences and soft spoken. You will receive honor and recognition from learned persons. You will possess good knowledge about various arts, and will devote your time for the expansion of your culture and be actively involved in various cultural activities. Your dealings with others will be thoughtful, you try to avoid hurting others feelings, and immediately rectify the situation if you do. You do not care for any person who makes hindrance or causes trouble to others. As a result you may have several hidden enemies in your life.
You have a short temper when it comes to improprieties, be cautious that this does not affect your success. You will be generous and perform many philanthropic activities without concern for recognition. These activities may make you famous.
You will have great wealth and many people working under you. In the professional field you cannot attain much success materially as you are not business minded, mainly due to your straight-forwardness. However, you will be a fitting example of sincerity and hard work. This inherent quality of sincerity and hard work does sometimes pay you some lift but not to the extent when we see the balance. You are bound to change your field of earning frequently. Once you make a decision, you stick to that decision. Your dealings with your superiors and subordinates are very cordial and most technical. Hence you are able to be a link between your bosses and the subordinates.
This placement indicates you will enjoy a happy and harmonious married life with good children. You will be generous and helpful to your siblings. You may suffer from difficulty with your vision.
Sun in Leo 25°06'52"

You have mathematical and philosophical insight, which enables you to make valid judgments on the most meager experience. You like to dwell in the forests, mountains and villages. Physically very strong in appearance, but prone to suffer from blood diseases and fever.
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.
You suffer from excess bile and windy diseases and when in foreign land, from the financial ups and downs. You may have a poor appetite, are bold, modest, an actor, studious, have beautiful eyes, are diligent and well-placed. You may be lazy in function, give vent to anger, have a prominent personality, be honorable, courageous, impatient and unkind.

(Note-: The Moon in Gemini ascending, gives the qualities of Mercury to the person in general.) The prominent nose will make the subject look beautiful. As Mercury is a eunuch, the person will make friendship with neuters or will enjoy sexual pleasures with barren partners. Worldly pleasures will be more important than spiritual pursuits. People born under this sign may be gifted speakers.

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.

You are wealthy and have a charming spouse. Both the opposite sex and wealth are loyal and stable to you.

Mars in Cancer with Leo ascendent
Mars in this sign may lead to your persecution: trouble with the eyes, discontent in your family circle, and unhappiness in marital relationships. On occasion you may be violent, injure your limbs, and suffer acute mental pain.
Mars in 12th House
Mars externalizes inherent tendencies. The twelfth house being the repository of all one's past karmic forces and future possibilities, the presence of Mars here brings these forces to the surface. This is done in order to neutralize them so that you may be liberated from their binding effect. During this process you may often be unprepared to bear the pressure; your reaction creates further binding.
Under the influence of Mars, you have the freedom either to liberate yourself from bondage and begin a new life or become more deeply immersed in layers of materiality. But if you have already cleared your past debts and no further undesirable forces are pending, your spiritual tendencies surface. In that case, you show genuine tendencies toward spirituality.
Under negative conditions, you may be possessed by anger, lustful behavior, animosity against friends, depravity and criminality. When these tendencies are bravely faced, you may possibly free yourself to enter the heavenly gates of divine pleasure. If your past is already full of spiritual merit, the Martian effect will externalize it, and you may be an inspiring spirit who helps others progress courageously. It is possible that some physical illness may afflict you if you have the seed of such an illness in your karmic past, even while you are engaged in your spiritual mission.
Whoever has Mars in the 12th will be fortunate in respect of brother. You may be a glutton and sexy, but get little pleasure from your spouse. A second marriage comes. You are truthful, generous, and excited and may be the founder of some organization.

There will be no accumulation of wealth. You may lose through theft, advances or misplacement. Mars in the 12th house brings about financial ruin. It attacks with such weapons, so severely and powerfully that even the strongest body shows the wound marks.
This placement may indicate rumors to defame, scandals, disputes, strife or jealousy, trouble through servants, fear and sorrow due to dependence, and a life of misfortunes. You may suffer immediate loss of wealth. Beware of danger from thieves, burglars, weapons, and enemies.
You are base, and depraved by own actions, and have a desire to extort others' wealth. Your eyes are transient, your mind restless, and you are mobile, cheerful, strong, prosperous, debauch, despondent and successful in gaining your end.
You are hostile, and may be without wealth and spouse, are rude with own family members, aggressive, inconsiderate, and always tense.

Saturn in 12th House
You are persistent in getting what you want. Spirituality may be attractive, but you will probably see such thoughts as your own and pursue them not out of devotion to another person, but rather out of devotion to your own path. The voice of the mortal body is loud, urging you to pleasures. You are an intense person in a number of ways - both positive and negative. You associate with the average, the hurt and unhappy. You have a hard time with standard morality. Watch out for lung ailments and save money during Jupiter major period for harder times in Saturn major. You may be able to be a popular leader in some way. At times you are rather dry, shameless and merciless, in the perceptions of others. This is good if you are in such lines of work (such as law enforcement etc.). It can make for a lack of beauty and charm in relationships however. You may find gains and success in a land or state other than that of your birth. You are reserved, like peace and seclusion, and do laborious jobs. The right eye is in some danger due to Saturn being in the 12th house.
Saturn in Lunar Mansion '9 Ashlesha-1'
You were unable to get the care and affection that was required and expected from your mother, mainly due to the fact that she may have been employed in a responsible job and was so busy with the work that she was not in a position to give sufficient attention to you. Hence you more or less were leading a motherless childhood.
Rahu in Sagittarius 15°38'04"
Rahu in Sagittarius with Leo ascendent

Rahu in 5th House
Your creativity has a strange or foreign aura; not bad, but deep and unusual. Your writing for example, is so deep that others get somewhat absorbed in it. You have a very easy time understanding the lower levels of society, the seedy, the underworld, the poor, the distressed - this is an area where you move easily. You are deeply interested in liberation from material entanglement and expert in understanding the inner meaning of things, in other words, you have insight.
During the periods ruled by Rahu, you will experience gains and success. Your spouse will sometimes exhibit a short temper and have stomach problems. Watch out for your own difficulties with the heart and lungs. You will probably have at least one son. You worry much, and have few friends. Your first child may pose some difficulty.
During Rahu ruled periods, watch for indigestion and excess bile. Also, this Rahu brings you into association with the downtrodden of society and it makes you mentally sharp. Your son(s), if any, should watch out for snakes and danger while in the country.
Rahu in Lunar Mansion '20 Purva Ashadha-1'
Ketu in Gemini 15°38'04"
Ketu in Gemini with Leo ascendent
You are simple at heart, helpful by nature and courageous in undertaking even the most difficult enterprise. You move among high and low society with equal ease. You are basically a good person whom other people will admire and like to associate with.
Ketu in 11th House
Ketu gives you the strengths of being learned, well dressed, and attractive. However, you have something in your nature that is not straight, perhaps some unbecoming private attachment that you have yet to overcome. You are considered powerful in society, but you have an unknown fear nagging at your mind. Success and gain come from all sources.
You are very fortunate, learned, handsome, strongly built, well-dressed and very glorious. Your off-spring is unfortunate and suffers from fear and danger.
