Lagna in Scorpio 22°30'45"
Scorpio in the Ascendant bestows physical beauty and attractive legs and thighs. Vindictive by nature and sensitive to criticism, you can be very alert and quarrelsome. You seem to take special delight in verbally abusing your friends. Ordinarily, you are lucky in marriage, but your sex life remains undisciplined. Your children could be famous and your friends are eminent, but you are unable to establish an enduring relationship with them. You are ignorant of your own long term interests. Immediate gratification is more important to you than permanent gain. Your life in general tends to be a bag of mixed achievement and frustration. Your health may suffer from abuse and irregularity of habit. Secrecy in your life is a very significant issue: Secret alliances, secret pangs and sufferings, secret hiding places, secret enemies, secret friends and secret undertakings. Drug addiction, smuggling, litigation and participation in cruel deeds are not uncommon under this sign. In many ways you are your own worst enemy. You may have fleshy and broad limbs, (as though) perfected by exercising, be clever, crooked in innate disposition, valorous, attached to your mother, generous, will have majestic and tawny eyes, a prominent chest, a sunken belly, a depressed nose, are adventurous, firm, fierce, trustworthy, amusing, troubled by bilious complaints, have a big family, betray your elders and friends, serve a great leader, have enemies, be pious, will give money to others, possess an amiable spouse, be religious, affectionate and base.
