Lagna in Capricorn 25°04'11"
Capricorn in the Ascendant indicates you are probably tall and well built. You can, however, have a weaker and leaner lower body. You are very hardworking and persevering, but you have to watch out for melancholic moods. You also have to try to curb the ego at times. You are careful with others and respectful of them, but at the same time anxious to achieve your own ends. Other factors permitting, you can be very religious. You also tend to respect the occult.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '23 Dhanishtha-1'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Dhanishtha.

Normally, you have a lean body with lengthy figure. In exceptional cases you may have a stout figure. You will be expert in all work you undertake. You have an extremely intelligent mind and all around knowledge. You do not like to cause any trouble to others. It has been seen that you have a religious spirit. You always like to live by your own caliber and effort. You dislike to express disagreement with others till the last moment. Most of us are probably aware of the elephant's revenge. That is, if any person or any animal cause trouble to the elephant, the elephant waits for an opportunity to bounce on them. In the same way you wait for an opportunity to pounce on others with whom you have a score to settle.

A number of horoscopes that I have examined reveal that most scientists and historians are born in this Nakshatra. Since there is an inherent talent of keeping secrets, you are quite suitable for secret service, or being a private secretary to senior executives. Whatever may be your academic background your intelligence is beyond question. In argument you are much ahead of others. Hence lawyers profession is the best for you. After age 24, there be progress in the earning field. Since you will be engaged in the profession or trade where you have to trust others, you should be very careful before putting trust in others. In the family circle you will be the uppermost administrator. Your relatives will cause a lot of embarrassment and problems. You are more inclined to brothers and sisters. You will have ample inherited property subject to the placement of planets in beneficial position. You cannot have much benefit from in-laws. But this drawback will be nullified due to the presence of the good qualities of your spouse. Any improvement in the financial field will be only after marriage.

Your health may not be so good at times. But even then you will not care about it. It is only when the illness reaches the peak you start finding a remedy. Slightest improvement out of the severest disease will drag you to the work field. You are prone to coughs, anemia etc. However, you will not be in a prolonged state of illness.

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.

You may have a poor appetite, are bold, modest, an actor, studious, have beautiful eyes, are diligent and well-placed.

You could be a commission agent or insurance agent. Avoid litigation, as Moon in the 7th house causes trouble and loss through it. You marry a devoted spouse who is also very healthy. Such a spouse alone can give full sexual pleasure. Gains from sale and purchase, roving on land or foreign trade abroad are indicated. You enjoy tasty food, are sensual, thin and lean and vanquished by the enemy. The 7th house denotes marriage, partnership and enemies etc. You are handsome, healthy, wealthy and wise, famous, kind, always traveling, itinerant, dominated by spouse and debauch.

You are sweet and soft-spoken, own a palatial home and might have two marriages, if the Lord is strong. If the Moon is exalted, full, or in its own sign it will give one marriage and you tend to be contented with one spouse only. You will be amiable, happy, will possess a good physique and be sensuously disposed. If the weak Moon be so posited, you will be pitiable and sick. Notes: If the Moon is in the 7th one will be happy in marriage, will earn wealth in business in foreign places, will enjoy food, will sexually enjoy many partners, will be very sensuous and be liberal. There is difference of opinion among the various authors inasmuch as some say there will be wealth with this placement while yet others say this position will cause poverty. It obviously depends on the state and Lordship of the Moon.

As already explained above, the inherent freedom available in all walks of life may lead you to bad company. You must be cautious of friends. You will be fond of good clothes.

Education, sources of earning/profession: you will jump upon any work without judging or thinking whether you are capable. Be cautious of this trait, it may have detrimental effects. You may not be a good anticipator, you are very good in certain work and sweet words are a natural expression for you. It would be better if you assessed your capacity and ability for the specific field where you can excel and then start doing the job.

With Venus, you lose many valuable opportunities in life. You have a clever mind and your sensitivity is extraordinary. Many people are willing to help you, but your personal sloth, sensual inclinations, clandestine affairs and rebellious temperament destroy your chances of phenomenal progress.
Venus in 12th House
Venus produces a material impulse. It leads you towards sensual gratification and involvement in unethical relationships which bind the soul strongly in chains of materialization. One may remember that Venus is the advisor to the demons who command the anti-devic (godly) forces. The advice given by Venus can lead you to adopt bad actions which will require scores of lives to release the soul from bondage.

These activities are produced by passion, lustful intentions, psychologically acquisitive tendencies, and ritualistic or overly formal religious observances. These tendencies are greatly accentuated when Venus occupies the twelfth house, which can finally fix you in your pleasant sleep (of illusion) and in the enjoyment of a comfortable couch (karmic bondage).

Rahu in Aries with Capricorn ascendent
The effect of Rahu is adverse here. Under its influence, you will be deserted by relatives, depressed by disposition, and will live in a sub-standard house.
Rahu in 4th House
When Rahu is in this house, you are not quite so unlucky. Almost everything in your immediate environment is the result of past karmic forces which nothing can stave off, and such forces may bring conditions that test your mettle. You suffer separation from your mother, siblings may turn against you even when you are helpful to them, and you may not receive your due in your profession. Nevertheless, your affluence, penchant for spiritual study and general persistence, along with insight into the workings of nature, may in time produce wealth, and you may win an enviable status in life and a reputation which outlasts you. In the end, you will certainly achieve your desires.

Rahu in the 4th gives rise to Raja Yoga during Rahu ruled periods, sub periods, etc. This means there will be a tendency towards things going well. Rahu in the 4th makes the mother long-lived.

Ketu in Libra with Capricorn ascendent
Ketu often opens up alternative sexual preferences or produces awkward social behavior.
Ketu in 10th House
Ketu is our critical faculty, seeking self-knowledge and self-importance, in exchange for which it receives humiliation in the short run, followed by enduring recognition and respectability. In the tenth house, its impulse often causes you to be maladjusted to society. However, your respect for others depends on the real worth of a person, based on inherent qualities.

Since society in general favors the external forms of behavior and the recognition of traditional values, you may find most social interactions to be based on hypocrisy despite any spiritual contradictions between the hidden and the visible. Much animosity and resentment will be leveled against you, even though you will be considered quite intelligent, with a very fertile brain, having original ideas on almost all subjects.

You will be religious in the true spiritual sense of the term. Your knowledge of scriptures will be profound and authentic, and your understanding of their esoteric implications and meanings will be extraordinary. You may feel unfortunate and miserable. Danger of falling from horse back or other conveyances and trouble through thieves is indicated. You are fond of playing musical instruments and black objects.
