Regularity and exercise are good for you specifically. You can work long, hard hours. You tend to get respect for your learning and your counseling ability. You like organized religion in general. You tend to benefit greatly through your father. Either that, or you are benefited through governmental blessings. In other words, you tend to please and benefit from central authority figures. 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.

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.

Your intelligence is exemplary, but there is a tendency to jump to conclusions. No one can defeat you in arguments. You have extraordinary convincing power. You will not, under any circumstance, submit to others, whether you are right or wrong. On the one side you can give a lot of advice, but you cannot hear advice from others. While you pretend you to be courageous you cannot reach that state unless forced either by circumstances or by persons to show the requisite courage. In decision making you are lacking. You find it difficult to make a decision even on small matters. Once aroused by instigation or argument you make decisions without thinking of the pros and cons of such actions and you stick to that decision till the end. Even if you are completely wrong, nobody can change your decision. Such is your obstinate character. You like to do a lot of things for others for nothing in return, but you will be subjected to a lot of criticism. You derive maximum benefit from unknown persons. You cannot keep any permanent relationship with anybody. If you can work with a particular aim with full sincerity you can reach the top of life. You hate external show. You are God-fearing, honest, humble and far from hypocrisy. You can never think of doing anything which will disturb the progress of others. You will be highly religious and always interested in religious acts. You are a good collector of antiques. You may also take interest in writing poetry.
Even though you can shine in almost all fields, you are particularly fit for a doctor's profession or fine arts. You are advised not to venture for any business unless you have dependable employees or managers. You will be attracted to the studies of occult philosophy and sciences. Up to 32 years of age will be a period of trial and error. Thereafter you slowly start climbing the ladder of success. Between 32 and 50 years of age will be very good. You cannot enjoy any benefit from your parents. However, you will be lucky to have benefits from siblings, particularly from brothers. You will be spending most of your life in a foreign land.
Your married life will be more or less happy, but marriage may be delayed. In some cases, it has been noticed that marriage takes place in a most competitive way. You are more inclined towards your spouse and in-laws. Even then, there will be frequent disharmony between you. At last, you find peace in the company of your spouse. You will be lucky to have talented and respectful children, who will bring name and fame to your family. There may be at most two children.
While your outward appearance is extremely good, your internal constitution may not be good, and your health may be weak.

Through that orientation to life you come to understand yourself on a very deep level, as well as the society around you. You are much sought after, though you prefer to live an isolated life secluded from social obligations.
Moon in 5th House
This placement is basically very good. It makes you a tranquil and balanced person at your basis. You will be content, and blessed with general happiness from having received all the necessities of life. This Moon gives you interest in getting your life together more so than making a novel contribution to the society at large. It gives you interest in things like poetry, chemistry, medicine and social work.
It says that the children's health will not be robust and it leans towards having girls rather than boys. Moon in the 5th stands for promising children and it makes your mind fundamentally good.
Possible avenues of gain indicated are Moon-related such as diamonds, land, trade, money lending, and many other sources. The 5th house stands for children, enterprise, speculations, gains, love affairs, and other things, and so you will find that your mind gravitates to these things. This also gives you patience, gentleness, good looks, health and noble parents.
Your Moon makes you the timid learned type. You will most likely earn through your learning, be involved in research, though clothes and food are good too. This Moon bodes well for the attainments of your children. It is a good indication that at some point in life you will get blessings. It indicates that you will gain from your spouse.

Moon in Lunar Mansion '1 Ashwini-4'
Those born in Ashvini Nakshatra will have a beautiful countenance. The eyes will be bright and large, the forehead broad and the nose little bigger. You may appear to be very calm and quiet, but capable of getting your work done unnoticed by others.
You are very stubborn in decision. This stubbornness is more predominant in the case of a person born during the period from April 14th to April 28th, when the Sun will be transiting your exaltation place in Ashvini and from October 14th to October 28th, when the Sun will be transiting your debilitation place in Swati.
There is a saying that even Yama, the god of death, cannot change your adamant attitude. Those born in Ashvini of other months will have stubbornness in a lesser degree. You will remain faithful to those who love you and will not hesitate to sacrifice anything for such persons. Ashvini born is the best friend in need, provided others understand them. You keep your patience even at the time of greatest peril. But it will be a hurricane task to console you when you go berserk. You are the best adviser to persons in agony, but you deeply resent and fear criticism, see suggestions from others as a frightening attempt at manipulation.
You take your own time to do any work. Even so, your actions may be slow but well thought. You will not jump on any matter without examining pros and cons of each item of work. You cannot be easily influenced. Once you carry out an action or work, whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, you will stick to what you have done, come what may.
You are a firm believer of God, but there is no room for religious or other sentiments. You are orthodox but in a new style i.e., you believe in modernization of orthodox method and belief. Even though you are quite intelligent, at times you make mountains of even small matters. This leads to a lack of mental peace and a desperate sort of mood.
You are always interested in keeping the entire surroundings neat and clean. If the birth is in between 2 degree to 3 degree of Ashvini, you are very much arrogant for nothing. You may be a deceit and a smuggler. If all other combinations are good, you may have wealth but cannot enjoy it. You will bring bad name to the family.
You are jack of all trades. You are generally fond of music and interested in literary pursuit. Periods up to your 30th years of age will be full of struggle. You have to face obstacles even for small matters. From the 30th year, there will be steady and continuous progress which will continue up to 55 years of age. One of the predominant features noticed is that you are very stingy, but your expenditures will be more than your income, due mainly to your pomp and show. You are inclined to meet your desires and needs at any cost.
You love your family in entire sincerity. However, you are subjected to hatred by your own family members due to your adamant behavior. Affection that was expected and the care that was required, cannot be derived from your father. In other words, you and your siblings will be neglected by your father. Whatever help you may derive is only from the side of your maternal uncle. Maximum possible help will come from those who are outside the family circle. Normally marriage takes place between 26 to 30 years of age. There will be more sons than daughters. Your health will generally be good.
However if the birth is between 2 degree and 3 degree of Ashvini, your health will be poor. You are prone to migraine headache, heart trouble, etc. You must follow remedial measures.
This position is the most outstanding position for Moon, provided Sun is not in conjunction. You attain a high education and knowledge in various branches of sciences with your own efforts. Mostly, persons born in 12 and 13.20 degrees of Ashvini are officers or doctors or persons holding very high position in government. Doctors born in this part of Ashvini Nakshatra become successful in the medical field. The same is the result, when the Ascendant falls in 4th part of Ashvini, even if the Moon is positioned elsewhere. There might be a scar or mark on the head or face.

You have a hard time with 'give and take'. You tend to be proud of your bank balance which has neither any social good nor personal use, except that it is drained away as fines, on litigation or lost to thieves.
