Lagna in Leo 7°51'01"
Leo in the Ascendant bestows a regal appearance, as if the life force is vibrating from every part of your body. You have a broad face with strong bones and beautiful and expressive eyes. You may be a possessive parent, egotistical and selfish in temperament, and a braggart. You are excessively libidinous, but not necessarily promiscuous. You are not satisfied with the material heights you attains and are always aspiring towards greater intellect, greater wealth, greater status, and greater respectability. Often you think you have achieved more than you really have; nevertheless, you are never satisfied, for you think you deserve more than you have received. You always strive to reach the top of the mountain.

You are basically materialistic, but like to assume that you are spiritually highly evolved. Involvement in work is intense and whole-hearted. You may be seen working adroitly on the subtle problems of life, whether related to physical sciences, psychology, or to concrete and technological problems in engineering, industry or economics. It is not the subject matter that is significant: Your complete involvement in whatever you undertake is of supreme importance to you. In that pursuit, your engagement of effort is total.

There is a suddenness in your actions, which gives you an element of surprise and unpredictability. However involved you may seem in a pursuit or relationship, you can suddenly end it. You are loyal friends, but that friendship can end suddenly. To some people, you may seem ungrateful. The world exists only for your convenience and the satisfaction of your desires. In your social relationships, contradiction and self-aggrandizement seem to predominate.

You may find married life difficult. Your spouse is very calculating and self centered, which are some of Leo's traits as well. Compatibility becomes difficult. In such circumstances, you often act in a clandestine manner, concealing certain aspects of your life. You do not trust others; equal partnership is not a common factor in your life. This placement gives rise to wealth in mutual combination.

The Sun is Lord of the Ascendant, Mercury Lord of wealth and Mars is of course Yoga Karaka. Thus all the three planets have acquired some power or other to do good. It will be seen that the Sun, Mercury and Mars play an important role in case of persons born under Leo Ascendant, while other planets will be able to do some good under certain special conditions.

One born in this Ascendant will be fond of eating meat and enjoying worldly enjoyments, will earn wealth and honor through the government, will be bereft of religion, dutiful in family affairs, hold a high rank of office, be majestic, strong, bold, be a miser, will trouble others, will wander in hills and forests and speak sparingly, be irascible, firm in friendship, careless, inaccessible (or inviolable), will destroy his enemies, have famous sons, honor the virtuous, will be rich through agriculture etc., be interested in business and will spend heavily on prostitutes and dancers. Spouse will suffer dental diseases.,
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '10 Magha-3'
The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Magha.

You will be very enterprising, will respect elders and be God-fearing. You enjoy leading a quiet life, and will be expert in various sciences and soft spoken. You will receive honor and recognition from learned persons. You will possess good knowledge about various arts, and will devote your time for the expansion of your culture and be actively involved in various cultural activities. Your dealings with others will be thoughtful, you try to avoid hurting others feelings, and immediately rectify the situation if you do. You do not care for any person who makes hindrance or causes trouble to others. As a result you may have several hidden enemies in your life.

You have a short temper when it comes to improprieties, be cautious that this does not affect your success. You will be generous and perform many philanthropic activities without concern for recognition. These activities may make you famous.

You will have great wealth and many people working under you. In the professional field you cannot attain much success materially as you are not business minded, mainly due to your straight-forwardness. However, you will be a fitting example of sincerity and hard work. This inherent quality of sincerity and hard work does sometimes pay you some lift but not to the extent when we see the balance. You are bound to change your field of earning frequently. Once you make a decision, you stick to that decision. Your dealings with your superiors and subordinates are very cordial and most technical. Hence you are able to be a link between your bosses and the subordinates.

This placement indicates you will enjoy a happy and harmonious married life with good children. You will be generous and helpful to your siblings. You may suffer from difficulty with your vision.
Sun in Scorpio 17°41'22"
You will have quite a taste for combat or competition. This placement causes the urge to stray from the Vedic path, to lie, to be dull, to lose the spouse or have an uninspiring spouse and to be cruel. You may be course, a miser, fond of quarreling, troubled by weapons or attacks from others, by fire and poisonous things and may be unfortunate in respect of parents.
Sun in Scorpio with Leo ascendent
You will earn abundant landed property, be learned and possibly famous.
You may feel a sense of loss, despite the fact that your material attainments are substantial.
Sun in 4th House
You view life in a regal way, with a thread of detachment - making the changes of life, or living itself, something you 'view' rather than identify with. It makes you detached from the masses. You require people to offer significant things in exchange for your friendship, or in other words, you want significant people as your friends. Therefore, ordinary people are not usually found to be very important to you in your own personal life. This is also the reason why you are at times faced with vindictiveness from jealous people, even though you deal very nicely with everybody.

You will earn money and power by your own efforts, and those who oppose you will find it difficult to 'win'. Your later career will tend to be better than your earlier attempts, and you will gradually attain a better situation and a strong personal character. The first half of life is made difficult in a number of ways, but gradually things improve. You will suffer deeply due to bad leaders, and may also experience weakness in the heart, or heart troubles. You will acquire a very prosperous career, but will suffer in some attacks or litigation.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '18 Jyeshtha-1'
Watch for a danger from poison, fire or weapons.
Moon in Aquarius 2°25'29"
You are kind to the masses, accepting of low class ways, very grateful, because you feel you don't deserve much, very independent and accepting of hard work, interested in factual science and astrology and often found to be addicted to habits such as smoking or drugs. It is a beautiful combination for artistic expressions with lots of feeling. It is also good for being a worker for the upliftment of the downtrodden of the world. Aquarius is a very moody and depressive sign, often leading to mental depression, but with a twist of philosophy and religion involved. It can lead to very strong religious experiences and eventually a very strict mental composure.
Moon in Aquarius with Leo ascendent
You are irrepressibly lustful. You receive money from your spouse and gain renown in distant lands. Associates and partners are social outcasts or foreigners involved in shady deals.
Moon in 7th House
You are passionate, possessing an attractive spouse from whom you acquire much wealth. There will be gain from voyaging, trade, speculation, water products and partnership; on land, from grocery shop, milk and milk products, chemist shop and hotel industry. 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. If exalted or full, this Moon gives a beautiful and charming spouse, and you yourself are wealthy and handsome. If this Moon is in depression, aspected or associated with a malefic, you know no peace or happiness in life. Marriage after age 32 to an unchaste person is indicated. 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.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '23 Dhanishtha-3'
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.
You are very courageous, truthful and kind to all. You will be a voracious eater. Because of this habit, you will have severe stomach problems at 22 years of age and hospitalization for a longer period will be necessary. You must control your diet. Eating anything and anywhere must be curbed. You will meet with death at 90 years old in the month August-September.

You will have much enthusiasm directed towards religious activities. Your education will be hampered and will experience unhappiness from children. Your frustration with your personal life will turn you towards spiritual matters. Your exuberance and zest for life, however, will not be diminished and you will be ever eager to take up new subjects of study and begin a new life.
Mars in 5th House
Mars in the 5th house indicates some challenges like impulsiveness and blunted sensitivities. You are sexually active but the relationship with the spouse is harmed. Mars is a fiery and fierce force, and the fifth house is a very important house related to children and your inner intelligence and also indicating some aspects of past life leftovers coming through in this life. Mars here gives your mechanical abilities, interest in military, and an outspoken and sporty nature. You will face many struggles in life. You have a healthy appetite and good digestion. However, you get selfish at times and commit actions that cause you to suffer later. You are sometimes unrestrained, and you feel like you are boiling within. This indicates some harm to the children in some way. Your intellect is quick and sharp. There may be law suits, adultery, unfortunate attraction towards the opposite sex, and therefore sometimes you undergo turmoil. You are learned, practical and intelligent, but sometimes you experience illusion as well.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '20 Purva Ashadha-3'
Mercury in Scorpio 20°48'58"
For some reason, due to the past, your deeper thinking or intelligence, has become rather quick and reactive and you may feel somewhat argumentative and sarcastic towards others. Overall in life, your thinking puts you on an impatient or resentful course. Therefore, it behooves you to find a way of thinking that calms you down and gives you a spiritual course.
Mercury in Scorpio with Leo ascendent
Your intelligence is sharpened and you are able to earn a substantial amount of money which is either converted into fixed assets or spent on family responsibilities. Even though you travel quite a bit, each move is well-calculated, and every decision geared to some advantage to bring personal happiness.
Mercury in 4th House
Physical comforts, a large number of friends and relations, and a very sharp intelligence are indicated by this placement of Mercury in the 4th house. There is the ability to understand the great range of truths in life. This is a very good Mercury for 'understanding'. You are very considerate to others. You could take to astrology, should you desire to. Many great astrologers are found to have Mercury in the 4th house. However, there will probably also be frequent change of residence and worry or anxiety through domestic affairs. Likely career choices are learning in private institutions, dealings with real estate, publishing or home-based businesses. You are composed and learned. Gain comes from parental or authority figures. Basically, it could be said, that at heart, you are like an heir to the kingdom. You serve the established order and understand it like a prince or princess would understand the kingdom. You are an advisor of some sort, may even be an administrator in the court and also make a good diplomat. You are engaged in writing, or others take your dictation.
