Lagna in Aries 0°51'51"
Aries in the Ascendant allows you to be fearless, ambitious, courageous, and eager to take initiative. An idealist by nature, you strongly want to contribute to society and you wish to change things. Routine is not for you, you like originality and fresh beginnings, and you want credit for your achievements. You create awe and radiate energy in achieving your goals, which makes others uncomfortable. You will find difficulties when dealing with women, education and expressing yourself. To obtain your highest potential, you need full freedom without restriction. Your idealism may create some contradictions. Outwardly you will be active, but inwardly lonely and frustrated. If you could be freed from mundane entanglements, you could readily attain to divine planes due to your goal-oriented and idealistic nature. Be careful of fire. You will be interested in visiting foreign places, be miserly in disposition, emaciated, not happy, jealous, stammering in speech, troubled by bilious and windy diseases and complaints of heat, be skillful in performance, timid, religious, famous, not very thoughtful and will destroy others' wealth. You will be fickle-minded, enjoy pleasures, have bad nails, be bereft of brothers, be discarded by your father and have inactive (or unlucky) children. You are endowed with various kinds of wealth and are virtuous. Your spouse will belong to a base family, be virtuous and reproached. You will derive happiness and wealth in undesirable manners. (This is a classical reading, somewhat unchanged, and is ridiculously general if taken literally, so don't take it literally. Look to the energies and tendencies indicated herein, not the literal words).
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '1 Ashwini-1'
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.

Moon in Taurus with Aries ascendent
The veil of illusion is cast over your life, engrossing you in those objects of sensual pleasure which are coveted in the physical world. But you are happy and satisfied with your wealth, status, property and sense of well-being.
Moon in 2nd House
The Moon in the second house makes you very talkative, prosperous, of sound body and have a very charming personality. You are romantic and find pleasure in other peoples company - ignoring your own spouse and family.
The second house stands for wealth, finance and hereditary position. Full Moon in this house bestows you with promising progeny and wealth. But, if it is dark or feeble, you may stammer, be poor and unwise.
You are sensitive to the changing Moon, have many friends and are soft spoken. You may suffer from poor digestion and loss of appetite. Dark or feeble Moon, despite of benefic aspect, causes loss of acquired or inherited property and obstructs earning and further acquisition of wealth.
You will enjoy incomparable happiness and friends and will be wealthy. You will be plentiful in wealth and grains, be physically sound, famous, and wise and spend your time joyously with the opposite sex,. You may lose money on account of your sisters and daughters.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '3 Krittika-2'
Your Ascendant or Moon is under the 3rd Nakshatra or star, which is called Krittika.
Physical features: Normally you are of middle stature. Your nose is prominent and your eyes sympathetic, the neck is thick and stout, you have a solidly built body with big shoulders and well-developed muscles, your countenance is peaceful and your behavior respectful. You have a commanding appearance. While you are on one hand very intelligent, on the other hand you cannot pursue any goal for long. In other words, you easily get bored with any particular thing and jump on another without knowing the pros and cons. You are capable of rendering good advice and telling others the solution for any problem. But in your own life, you spontaneously do what you think at a particular time.
You will discard any friendship, if that friendship questions your ego and freedom. But at the same time, you do not like to achieve name, fame and wealth through unfair means or through the mercy of others. Your needs or wants are not beyond reason, nor your accumulations always spectacular. Although your money making abilities are often phenomenal, your motivation however derives from an emphatic wish to remain free from obligations.
You cannot find fault in your own actions. Optimism followed with self-pride is one of your characteristics. You are determined to go ahead with great energy and show your stubborn and tenacious nature. Orthodoxy and monotheism are combined in you, i.e. while you are orthodox you do not believe in age old blind belief and customs. Persistent effort and hard work are your motto. You are eager to render some positive service to the world, but you cannot shine for long. You involve yourself in public life sincerely, but loss and failures are the ultimate outcome.
This drawback is attributable to a lack of ability to move according to the situation. You try to impose certain restrictions and control through self-assessment and modify them according to your sweet will.
Once a promise is made, it will be carried out at any cost. In public life you can attain name, fame and respect. Excess of sincerity will be the means of your downfall. Frustration starts hunting you even on small matters and leads you to outburst. Once you get heated up, subsequent steps will be dangerous. Hence you have to observe maximum mental balance and keep away the outbursting temperament.
Remarkable ability will be shown in arguments and counter arguments with reasoning. It is quite often seen that you will be bereft of truth and money, and undertake unnecessary travel. You are thankless and will utter cruel words. You will not stay in your home town. That means, your livelihood will be in foreign land. When I say foreign, it is not necessary that it should be a foreign country. Foreign land can mean a little away from the place where you were born.
Partnership business is not suitable. You derive benefits from the government. You could be an engineer, doctor, treasury department, draftsman. In case you are interested in business, you can derive maximum benefits from yarn export, medicines and decorative industries. A large legacy at any part of your life is awaiting you.
You are very slow in any work. Hence for success in life, you are advised to increase the speed while doing any work, as otherwise you may be dragged behind others.
You are generally lucky in married life. Your spouse will be expert in household administration, dedicated and devoted, faithful and virtuous. With all these plus points, health of the spouse will be a concern for you and/or circumstances may so be created that you have to quite often live separately. When I say separation, it may be due to work or ill health to either of the family members i.e., parents of the spouse etc. and not due to disharmony between the two of you.
While you have to confront many obstacles in various walks of life, you will be contended and lucky in the family field, where you enjoy the utmost satisfaction and peace. You are more attached to your mother than to your father. Among your siblings, you will enjoy more favor and love from the mother. While your father will be a pious and well-known person, you cannot enjoy comforts and benefits from him.
Your life up to 50 years of age will be full of trial and you have to face frequent changes in surroundings. However, period between 25 years and 35 years and between 50 years and 56 years will be very good. Love marriage is indicated to you. You have a good appetite but you cannot have a systematic food habit. Diseases to which you are prone to are dental problems, weak eye sight, tuberculosis, wind and piles, brain fever, accidents, wounds, malaria or cerebral meningitis. Whatever may be the condition of your health, whether good or bad, you are not afraid of any disease, nor are you are ready to observe the daily care of your health.
You enjoy power and your personality is very attractive. You move around learned people. You are affected with excess bile complaints.
