Lagna in Gemini 18°28'42"
Gemini in the Ascendant gives you an attractive appearance. Usually tall, with large hands and feet, you may be lean and thin with beautiful eyes and a sharp nose. Your intelligence and pleasant demeanor make your face radiant. You have a special skill in diplomatic negotiations, expertise in trade practices, a talent for dramatic performances, and a great capacity to conceal your emotions. Ambivalence will be your outstanding feature. You are often bashful and very selective in speech. You like to meet people, travel extensively, and acquire knowledge. You have a special ability to influence people and you delight in sporting with the opposite sex. You have an adaptable, dual personality. You can be serious or trivial, depending on your mood and circumstances. Success in life depends on intuitively understanding other people's thoughts and emotions. This capacity to interpret the thoughts and feelings of others, enables you to be a very successful writer or novelist. Among the planets, Venus has a special affinity with a person born under this sign, while Mars, the Sun and Jupiter produce adverse results. The Moon is a killer, but if posited with favorable planets may yield auspicious results. However, the Moon, who is the Lord of the 2nd, does not become a death significator (Maraka) for a person born under Gemini Ascendant. You will have a dear spouse, be fond of ornaments, charitable, respectable, will have two mothers, will be favorable even to your enemies, interested in music, fine arts, amusement and poetry, be gentle, fond of beautification, conceited, truthful, impatient, crafty, will possess limbs of irregular sizes, be of fierce appearance, will destroy even fearful enemies, and be endowed with lands, jewels, gold etc.

You may not have a constant type of behavior.
Education, sources of earning/profession: you have the capacity to acquire and keep knowledge of almost all subjects. However, in spite of these good qualities you cannot attain much fame or reward out of such knowledge. It is advisable that you must meditate regularly. If you do so, you can overcome the above inherent affliction. Since you may be over sincere in work and to other persons, even the slightest problem which may be confronted could land you into mental agony. However, even during the time of extreme hardships both financial and mental, you can keep your head cool, and behave in a most respectable and attractive manner. Because of this quality, you will be very much involved in others hearts. You will not stick to one line of work, you may enjoy working many different jobs at a time.
