Lagna in Aquarius 27°25'59"
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.

You like good food and are a voracious eater. You are not very particular about dressing. You normally express an impartial opinion, and do not believe in the blind principles of religion. You are ever ready to render a helping hand to the needy. Even so, hatred and resistance will be your reward in return. You can easily enjoy the respect and confidence of others even if you are financially weak. You are God- fearing and perform religious rites in accordance with the scriptures. While you will be moderately rich, you like to have respect and honor from the public rather than accumulating money. You are impartial in expressing your views.
As you are born intelligent and have the knack of trade you can shine in any type. If you are employed in a government organization you can look forward to unexpected gains or promotions. You are capable of leading a quite independent life, both socially and financially. Between 24 to 33 years of age will mark remarkable all around progress in life. Even then occasional mental tension is not ruled out. Between 40 and 54 years of age will be your golden period when you can establish fully. You keep restrictions on the spending activities. You can shine in the field of business, banking, in a government job, or as a teacher, actor or writer, research worker, or astrologer or astronomer. If in government service, you are engaged in the revenue collection department or in any capacity where cash transactions take place.
You cannot fully enjoy the love and affection from your mother due to early separation from her as she will be working. Naturally, being a working mother, she is away most of the time and you are automatically separated.
One of the redeeming features is that there will be a lot of things with which you can be proud of in your father. Subject to other favorable planetary positions, your father has been found to have fame and possess a very good moral character. Such popularity may be mainly in the field of fine arts, oration or in the writing field. In spite of these good qualities, you and your father quite often disagree and confrontation takes place.

Sun in 6th House
The Sun produces a very deep-rooted impact. It destroys all impediments to the flowering of your innermost uniqueness. When the solar rays sparkle and strengthen the soul, no other conditioning can obstruct its clear impulses. The inner person must have its way; external conditions must adjust to inner ones, and thus they dissipate and fall asunder. From an ordinary point of view, this may seem to be a destruction of physical and social barriers. But this placement enables you to achieve victory over enemies, a successful termination of litigation and disputes, and effective solutions to financial difficulties.
However, there may be kidney troubles or other such ailments, especially of the navel region. Psychological maturity and self-reliance are acquired along with a feeling of personal isolation. At times, even the government is unhelpful and antagonistic. You may decide to live away from your homeland. With this combination, a very enigmatic situation arises: people at large express tremendous goodwill and sympathy for you, but they cannot establish empathy. Thus you may sometimes find yourself on the psychoanalyst's couch unless your natal chart is basically strong.
The sixth house is both for friends and enemies, health and sickness, attachment and hatred, maternal relatives, cousins, servants and inferiors. Its results are full of opposites - sharpness of the opposites is felt according to the influence of the planet, its association, conjunction, or as aspected.

Animals like cows and buffaloes cause great loss, sometimes financially also. Danger to life can come from sharp-horned animals. During travel, you may be attacked by tribals or robbed by thieves.
You are strong, happy, rich and are respected in society. You may be a glutton and very passionate. But you are gentle and known by your qualities. You are a leader or either a general or a judge. You are wise and a well wisher of your family. You tend to be thin, lean and healthy. You build property and are helped by your maternal uncles. You will be very libidinous, have powerful digestive fire (i.e. capable of digesting fast), are affluent, famous for virtues and might be an army chief.
Financial success, disease of the eyes in the 20th year, happiness, affectionate disposition etc., will follow. You will spend money to save others from legal punishments or spend for friends in general. There will be troubles for the mother's family (i.e. maternal uncle and other such relatives). You may be subjected to danger from quadrupeds or lose on account of thefts.
You will be of Yogic disposition, be intelligent, will keep brothers and relatives happy, be emaciated, very beautiful in appearance, will inherit through maternal relatives, will gather lands and other properties, will keep your promise, will gain through sons, be happy by the prosperity of progeny and will help even enemies and thereby derive satisfaction.

You cannot expect to gain much compared to the ratio between work and reward till your 50 years old.
