Lagna in Aquarius 23°35'54"
Aquarius in the Ascendant is not a common placement and is considered very good for spiritual life, but if you are not spiritual, then you may be very materialistic. Hard lessons are going to be taught to you, and you will have to face difficult tests. You should be proud of this. Temptation and truth are two words you will come to understand. The two refuse to live together. You will be tempted with the ups and downs of this world and if you give in, it will overtake you. But if you surrender to divine truth and serve it, it will also overtake you, which is a better choice. Aquarius Ascendant tends to make one an average person. This Ascendant makes material life somewhat of a drudgery by increasing the chances of being a simpleton, an outcast, poor, etc. It does however promote devotion to elders and traditional values.

Saturn constricts where it influences. In the fifth house, it restricts the children, makes childbirth difficult, or makes children seem restrictive and troublesome to you.

You are likely to be in manual labor, not caring for common law, and lacking finances. Unfortunate in love relationships, you prefer those who are senior in age and manner. You like those who are religious. You may feel unsuccessful in your pursuit of prayer because you feel unworthy which, giving you a feeling of not achieving your religious goal (which is philosophically a great thing as feeling successful in religion is ridiculous to those who know it well).
