You have a warrior like tendency about you. Therefore, you are dear to central governments, and are expeditious and martial. You like protecting others and adhering to regularity and functional purposes. You can really lose your temper though. Sagittarian women make very good wives, as they do not try to interfere in their husbands lives but do try to be very helpful to them. The men of this rising sign tend to be somewhat detached, interested in sports and other activities that attract them outside of just family life. You do tend to have high ideals, morals and ethics.

The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Mula

Character and general events: you possess a very sweet nature and are a peace loving person. You have set principles in your life. You can stand against any adverse tidal wave, you have the capacity to penetrate that wave and reach the destination. You are not bothered about tomorrow nor are you very serious about your own matters. You keep all the happenings in the hands of God and become prey to optimism.
Education, sources of earning/profession: you need to be very cautious of recording your finances or you will find yourself in debt. You may give advice that you may not even use. This peculiar characteristic generally fits you for the profession of financial or religious adviser. Since you are skilled in several fields, there will be frequent changes of profession or trade, but stability in this direction seems to be a very rare phenomenon, which may put you in constant need of money. Watch the tendency to spend too much on your friends. You will possess the utmost sincerity in all you do. You may earn your livelihood in a foreign place, where it is indicated that you will have much more success in business. You are capable of shining in all walks of life, particularly in the field of fine arts, as a writer and in the social work.
Family life: excepting a few cases, it is seen that Mula born cannot have any benefit from parents whereas they are self-made. Your married life will be satisfactory. You will have a spouse with all adequate qualities.
Health: even when you are sick you will look well, but you may not be in the habit of taking care of your own health, resulting in some severe health problems that can be noticed in your 27th, 31st, 44th, 48th, 56th and 60th year of age. You must try not to have any association with intoxication as you may suffer from the grips of addiction.
Sun in Aquarius 18°02'05"
Your Sun's position pushes you towards illicit romantic liaisons, which you will have to struggle to avoid. Watch for heart trouble. You may find that your past dealings with others leave you in a position, where others see you as unpopular, and to be avoided. The best way to avoid this is to avoid its cause, which is a tendency to dominate and manipulate, caused by having a very strong thinking capacity, which may put you over others who are simpler in mind. Watch for these tendencies during Sun ruled periods. If not major Sun period comes in the current life, then perhaps these things will not ever manifest very. You have great strength and courage, but a short temper. In some way or at one point in life you will gain through other peoples' marriage partners. If this only comes once in life, then it is of little concern. Otherwise, this may indicate the ability to be a divorce attorney, marriage counselor, etc. Due to something you believe or do, you may be not liked by the truly learned, probably due to some connection with 'lowliness'. There is an underlying current of unhappiness or sorrow running through your life. This is not necessarily bad, as it may push you on towards spirituality for answers. However, this Sun indicates some low vibrations in Aquarius, so watch out for being fraudulent, a traitor, dirty or miserly.
