Lagna in Leo 21°06'54"
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 '11 Purva Phalguni-3'
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.
Sun in Capricorn 18°59'50"
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 Leo ascendent
You will be of sickly constitution and inimical disposition.
The Sun may cripple physically, but physical incapacity will not stand in the way of achieving your mission in life. The Sun placed in Capricorn will, as a result of paying off karmic debts, universalize your consciousness and enable you to do much social service. However, in general you will be adversarial in dealings. Your purpose will be very important to you and you will not like government authority very much.
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.
The 6th house protects against enemy, sickness, sorrow and debt. So you are a destroyer of enemies; a friend of friends. But it also indicates troubles for the maternal uncle and his family. 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 may suffer breakage of teeth by wood or by stone or incur pains in legs and your end may come through poison, weapon, thirst, hunger, enemies or vices.

Then only can religion be purified.

It is one of the best possible Karmas because it represents being near to the end of cycles of birth and death. It will take care of you in many ways.
