Lagna in Libra 11°25'30"
A Libra Ascendant usually bestows a long face, an attractive appearance, tender eyes and sparsely set teeth. You are generally above average height, lean and thin. Mentally, you are disorganized, emotionally unstable and socially unbalanced. You are extravagant, generous, helpful and simple at heart. You crave social contact and the assurance that other people need you. You are also subject to contradictory thoughts and actions. You are fond of justice and law, but easily irritated. Your friends and benefactors tend to be well positioned individuals, but you can also associate with dishonest people who, unfortunately, might stick with you for years. Physically you appear strong and healthy, but you may secretly suffer from diseases relating to the loins and kidneys, and should take precaution against urinary tract infections. You may have a strong desire for artistic achievement, but fail to actualize it. Saturn is a very powerful planet for you. Jupiter is not very good. You are fond of helping the lowly, and so much so that you may use base acts to achieve your goals. You respect spiritual leaders, because they respect principle centered persons, but you are often too driven to stick strictly to principles yourself, but would rather see to it that the objective gets carried out.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '15 Swati-2'
The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Swati.
Physical features: one of the peculiar features of Swati born is that the under part of the feet will appear to be curved and the ankle risen. You will have an attractive appearance. Character and general events: you are a peace loving person, but adamant and independent. You respect others property. You may be uneasy with criticism of your work. You may have trouble controlling your temper once you lose it. A proper balance of mind will result in a more positive life. You are willing to extend a helping hand to others provided your own freedom is not questioned. You give respect unconditionally. You are the best friend in need and worst enemy of the hated. You do not hesitate to take revenge on the persons who are against you. You may experience difficult times in childhood. You initially try to give help and protection to those close to you, but later change your mind because of harsh criticism.
Education, sources of earning/profession: your intelligence and capacity to do the work are excellent. You may suffer, financially and mentally, even if born in a wealthy family, until your 25th year. However, you may not experience much progress, in profession or business up to the age of 30 years. Thereafter you will have a golden period up to your 60th year. You may earn through the profession of gold smith, traveler or pharmacist.
Family life: your married life may not be so congenial. To outsiders it may seem that you are the most adjustable couple, but in reality you are not. Health: you will have very good health. You may suffer from common human diseases.
Sun in Pisces 7°37'21"
Blessed with spouse, sons and friends, victorious, renowned, rich. Gain from shipping over water, photography, pearls, legacy, partnership or marriage. You are friendly, a collector of things, fond of the opposite sex, happy, learned, and overcome enemies and obstacles. Nice family of your own is indicated, eloquence in speaking, but a tendency to lie and may have diseases of the private areas of the body.
Sun in Pisces with Libra ascendent
You will face many obstacles in your undertakings, and may suffer from bilious diseases.
The Sun in this position creates much trouble. Enemies, debts and diseases come to in many forms. However, you successfully intimidate and scheme against opponents, destroying their united attack. Local government itself may disturb your mental peace, and precipitate humiliating actions against you. In spite of all these difficulties you suffer only minor repercussions and are largely protected against major calamities.
Sun in 6th House
The Sun produces a very deep-rooted impact. It destroys all impediments to the flowering of your innermost uniqueness. When the solar rays sparkle and strengthen the soul, no other conditioning can obstruct its clear impulses. The inner person must have its way; external conditions must adjust to inner ones, and thus they dissipate and fall asunder. From an ordinary point of view, this may seem to be a destruction of physical and social barriers. But this placement enables you to achieve victory over enemies, a successful termination of litigation and disputes, and effective solutions to financial difficulties.
However, there may be kidney troubles or other such ailments, especially of the navel region. Psychological maturity and self-reliance are acquired along with a feeling of personal isolation. At times, even the government is unhelpful and antagonistic. You may decide to live away from your homeland. With this combination, a very enigmatic situation arises: people at large express tremendous goodwill and sympathy for you, but they cannot establish empathy. Thus you may sometimes find yourself on the psychoanalyst's couch unless your natal chart is basically strong.
The sixth house is both for friends and enemies, health and sickness, attachment and hatred, maternal relatives, cousins, servants and inferiors. Its results are full of opposites - sharpness of the opposites is felt according to the influence of the planet, its association, conjunction, or as aspected.
The 6th house protects against enemy, sickness, sorrow and debt. So you are a destroyer of enemies; a friend of friends. But it also indicates troubles for the maternal uncle and his family. Animals like cows and buffaloes cause great loss, sometimes financially also. Danger to life can come from sharp-horned animals. During travel, you may be attacked by tribals or robbed by thieves.
You are strong, happy, rich and are respected in society. You may be a glutton and very passionate. But you are gentle and known by your qualities. You are a leader or either a general or a judge. You are wise and a well wisher of your family. You tend to be thin, lean and healthy. You build property and are helped by your maternal uncles. You will be very libidinous, have powerful digestive fire (i.e. capable of digesting fast), are affluent, famous for virtues and might be an army chief.
Financial success, disease of the eyes in the 20th year, happiness, affectionate disposition etc., will follow. You will spend money to save others from legal punishments or spend for friends in general. There will be troubles for the mother's family (i.e. maternal uncle and other such relatives). You may be subjected to danger from quadrupeds or lose on account of thefts.
You will be of Yogic disposition, be intelligent, will keep brothers and relatives happy, be emaciated, very beautiful in appearance, will inherit through maternal relatives, will gather lands and other properties, will keep your promise, will gain through sons, be happy by the prosperity of progeny and will help even enemies and thereby derive satisfaction. You may suffer breakage of teeth by wood or by stone or incur pains in legs and your end may come through poison, weapon, thirst, hunger, enemies or vices.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '26 Uttara Bhadrapada-2'
You will prosper by such industries as agricultural operations carried on by irrigation.

Moon in Virgo with Libra ascendent
Your Moon indicates gathering a large sum of money from abroad. At the same time there will be some serious setback. The pleasure and pain intermingle. You will realize you are not in control of the situation, and this will make you ponder spirituality or 'truth', and then you will engage in good works to gain karmic merit.
Moon in 12th House
Having Moon in the 12th house encourages some worldly engagements, which lead to worldly reactions. Pleasures of sex, the arts, dabbling in various subjects without a sincere desire to find truth, and so on, lead to the kinds of unwanted displeasures that come to us all to different degrees.
You have the Moon (mind-significator) in the 12th house (liberation from worldly entanglement). Thus, your mind spends time thinking about how to liberate yourself and others from worldly entanglements. Yet, you keenly feel a large set of restrictions or confining forces, which are not necessarily bad. Therefore, this is a suitable position for doctors, lawyers, and people of religious orders. You can keep secrets.
You love occult things, mystery, romance, and deep things. However, you may lack firmness and stability in character. You may have trouble in one eye, be frugal, and distrusted by others. Others may see you as suspect. There may be loss of wealth, and disputes in the family. You turn to addictions for comfort. Look for these indications during Moon-ruled periods.
You suffer anxiety from 'enemies' or 'opposition'. You are a philanthropist. You are not attached to the opposite sex in general, or at some point it becomes important that you give up that attachment. You have unfulfilled desires. You undo yourself at times, i.e. you subvert your own life with your own thinking, which may or may not be a bad thing. You sometimes feel dejected after love-making. You may have problems with addictions of some type, not necessarily bad ones, but some type.
Moon in the 12th causes damage to the left eye, or the eyes on general suffer. You have a hard time maintaining your morals, and your health. There may be some question regarding your birth. The relatives of your parents are annoying to you. You may have to move in order to escape some botheration. The appetite is weakened by this Moon, who also indicates that you are deprived of good food, incur wasteful expenditure, will be of angry nature, unhappy and will not be liked by others.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '13 Hasta-3'
The Nakshatra ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Hasta. Physical features: you will be tall and of large stature, and may have mixed color with short hands in comparison to your body structure. There may be a scar or mark on the upper right hand or beneath the shoulder.
Character and general events: you will have a calm nature. There will be a peculiarity when you smile, in other words your sweet smile has the magnetic power to attract others. This inherent quality produces a vibration on others, and it becomes difficult to leave you once such acquaintance takes place. You can easily get respect and honor from the public. You are always in readiness to help the needy for nothing in return. You do not like to deceive others even if it may cost you your life. In spite of this good quality, the reward you may get in return is nothing but criticism and opposition.
You do not believe in a posh living. At one moment you may rise to the top and another moment you may fall to the bottom, whether in the professional field or mentally. Hence you cannot be categorized as permanently poor or wealthy. When you enter in a particular field and start gaining the object, reversal is already in store for you. While you try to get out of such reversal through your own effort, help comes from unexpected quarters and you achieve moderate success in the undertaking. It may appear that there is some hidden curse. The sincerity and endeavour which you show in work should give you a wonderful boost. Although you do not desire to cause any trouble to others, once you are hurt, you may be in search of revenge. At the same time you take consolation in the feats of God by thinking 'Let god give me this punishment' and you slowly withdraw from the scene of conflict.
Education, sources of earning/profession: in the work field, you keep strict discipline. Normally employment in a subordinate level is not fit for you. You are most likely to be engaged in business or in a high position in industry. You will possess excellent all around knowledge. You will show to the world that you are not behind anybody on any matter. You are a good adviser as you have the capacity to intervene and settle various disputed matters. Many responsibilities will have to be undertaken by you before you can climb the ladder of success.
Period up to your 30th year of age will bring in unexpected circumstantial changes both in the family front as well as in the academic and professional or business field. Period between 30 to 42 years of age will be your golden period, when you can settle down in your life. There will be remarkable accumulation of wealth and all around success in the business field in your later years.
Family life: you are able to enjoy a peaceful married life, even though occasional friction as is expected in a family will definitely be there. Your spouse will be simple and capable. Health: you may be prone to cough and cold.
You may work in a large company.

You may be cruel, ruthlessly striving to attain the objects of desire and causing terror to your adversaries. You will derive inspiration from your spouse, who will goad you to indulge in self-seeking and money-making activities. There may be a still-birth, which will cause much sorrow.
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 '25 Purva Bhadrapada-1'
You are of sorrowful and irritable disposition. You will frequently undertake travels for your earning. Hypocrisy is inherent, however, you will have a stable position after your 40th year. Your marriage also will be delayed.
Mercury in Pisces 17°29'21"
You live by intuition, and are humanitarian, good humored, versatile, and devoted to your partner, but progeny denied. You possess a pliable temperament, strong memory and are talented. You may travel the oceans by boat.
Mercury in Pisces with Libra ascendent
You are devoted to spirituality. You will have little money, but a very devoted and efficient spouse. You will mostly be engaged in deep contemplation, leaving the management of family affairs to the spouse.
Mercury in 6th House
Mercury in the sixth completely upsets you physically and socially. You experience so many inner subjective changes that your physical relationships are subject to severe turbulence. Your mind is so stirred up that there is little social or psychological stability. You may be catapulted from abject poverty to regal splendor, but you cannot hold onto anything. There may be physical difficulties, sexual experimentation, and marital incompatibility leading to separation, divorce, or sexual abuse. But through all these vicissitudes, significant psychological transformation and a widening of awareness and great insight into life can be experienced. You may suffer from nervous breakdown and from ailments due to tension connected with work. You are oppressed by inferiors, and tend to be over-excited and rash. Afflictions to Mercury tend to ruin the health through anxiety. You are an energetic mental worker missing the best mental outlet for your energies. Gains from chemistry, writings, books or clerical work are indicated. You might suffer from dyspepsia and may exhibit many fads and fancies regarding diet. You may be inactive, ruthless, shattering the enemy and lose temper during discourse.
Mercury in Lunar Mansion '27 Revati-1'
You are reasonable, quick in wit, and interested in learning different languages. You have speculative tendencies, and might be an accountant or administrative head.
Jupiter in Pisces 13°09'58"
You have the good qualities of a strong Jupiter. These are the noble qualities of the religious seeker, such as being intuitive, investigative, philosophical, prophetic, affectionate, generous, and humane. Also, you like to be charitable to others, and you may start or work for some charitable institution.
Jupiter in Pisces with Libra ascendent
You have to deal with debts, especially during Jupiter ruled periods.
While this placement protects you from harm, it also makes you suffer strongly the effects of debts, enemies, and struggles. You will achieve renown but suffer also. You look to supreme authority for the remedies to problems, and whatever past Karma you have will surface in this life for you to deal with.
Jupiter in 6th House
Although you will probably receive renown and good finances, your personal life has some turmoil and married life may be difficult. You may spend more than you make. You attend social functions that expands prestige and circle of friends. While you gain popularity and status, a sense of inferiority may bother you. You like music and dancing. At times you feel defeated and some considerable disease has to be tolerated. You get support from brothers and sons. When ill you are well taken care of and have a knack of showing others comfort in their time of need. In other words, you thrive when things are bad. You can be a good healer or helper of others and you do better by serving others than through independence. Goodness comes to you through religion and philanthropy. You like pets. You should watch out for irregular food habits as that might be the cause of health degradation. You promote community spirit and reduce crime. You are a good fighter who is proud of your competitive abilities. It's very hard to win in most competitions against you. You should not expect others to live up to your abilities to serve and work hard.
Jupiter in Lunar Mansion '26 Uttara Bhadrapada-3'
Venus in Aquarius 20°58'33"
Venus has much to do with our sense of beauty and pleasures and Aquarius is a sign ruled by the 'low class' yet 'truly philosophical' Saturn. The combination of these two in your chart means that your sense of beauty will not be the 'norm' but rather, shaped by an appreciation for the earthy, the basic, the third world, the deep, the working class. For example, in America, although Mexico is considered a much 'poorer' country, still, some Americans find it in Vogue to dress in colorful and festive Mexican clothing, and they like the connection between 'the real people' of the poor countries and themselves, feeling that it brings them closer to 'real beauty'. They prefer to dress like the peasants of the third world, as opposed to wearing the stream lined fashions of their own society. This kind of connection is indicated by this combination. It further indicates that you can be very thoughtful about romance and love, philosophizing on these matters at length. Aquarius is a very philosophical and high-minded sign, indicating the descent of divine truth on one and all. Venus rules over romance and love in general. So, this combination is a natural one found amongst those who think much about the truth regarding love and pleasure.
Venus in Aquarius with Libra ascendent
You will be materially oriented, trying to acquire everything you can, regardless of ethical values: clandestine relationships, surreptitious dealings, and fawning on people for your own selfish ends will be the main features of life. You will be mentally equipped to study serious philosophical subjects, but sloth will hinder you from doing so. You will have a few daughters whom you will love very dearly, but they will also cause you sorrow and worry.
Venus in 5th House
Venus is more concerned with sensual enjoyment than accepting responsibility. Under its influence, you are more interested in appreciating or patronizing the arts than in creating them, and more inclined to romance than the duties of parenthood. You will have more daughters than sons, and will be wealthy and cultured.
Your goal in life is not concerned with the attainment of spiritual awareness or an enduring reputation: immediate gain, sociability, respectability and sensual enjoyment motivate you. Venus in the 5th house indicates success in love affairs, lasting pleasures out of life, fruitful union and beautiful children, name and fame through off-spring, and social accomplishments through entertainment, concerts and gatherings.
Gains through speculation, investments, art and music, children, schools and playgrounds are also indicated. You may be blessed with noble sons, financial gain, success and the capacity to compose classics. Early birth of a son is possible. This placement can give sudden and large gain, the ability to recite poetry in assemblies and opportunities for delicious food. You have faithful friends, are lustful, effluent, and an advisor or lawyer.
You are good-looking, blessed with many vehicles, and learned and skilled in art and poetry. You get royal honor, are rich, skilled, a capable leader, politician or diplomat and dexterous in amorous sport. You are learned in various sciences, prosperous, proud and charitable, tactful, just and fair. There might be loss of reputation at some times in your life.
Venus in Lunar Mansion '25 Purva Bhadrapada-1'
You are attached to your parents and will be learned. This position favors research work and frequent travel abroad, or residence in foreign countries.
Saturn in Pisces 22°55'34"
Interest in handicrafts, recognized by relatives and friends, calm and quiet, reserved and secretive, diplomatic, rich, religious, courteous, sane, fortitude, overcomes difficulties, hindrance and disreputation. Unfortunate links; efforts unproductive, mental suffering at times. All these make you practical, intuitive and optimistic.
Saturn in Pisces with Libra ascendent
You will be raise to the highest spiritual pinnacle. Physical pain, even diseases such as cancer or epilepsy, financial deprivation so severe as to leave you without a stitch, or social obloquy leading to abandonment will not affect your psyche. You will be forgiving to all, keeping your consciousness focused on higher goals in life.
Saturn in 6th House
Saturn in the sixth house produces sexual problems. Sex will be a very unorthodox kind of experience for you, but out of it there may arise a realization of your spiritual nature. Deprivation of a normal sex life and a tendency towards bizarre or unusual relationships enable you to secure special gifts from unexpected and unknown quarters which remove many personal difficulties. You may not always succeed in relating these two events, but both are impelled by Saturn. You are not necessarily attracted towards an unusual expression of sexuality, but the problem of sex affects your mental body vitally, and in some peculiar manner reveals the mysterious aspects of human motivation. For better or worse, your personal life is vitally affected by these experiences. You may suffer from some physical ailment without expressing your pain to others and doctors may not succeed in treating you easily. In spite of such personal anguish and sorrow, you enjoy great renown and social esteem. You may have trouble and hindrances in early life. There will be no help or support from any quarter and much criticism and little gain after much labor and effort are indicated, as well as trouble for maternal uncles and aunts. This placement denotes gain through some income or employment, premature retirement due to sickness and economic hardships in old age. Wealth, authority and fame do not come all together. You have to pass through many ailments beyond your control due to privation and want or neglect leading to sorrows and disappointments. Loss or trouble through attendants, menials and animals, accidents and operations, indigestion, circulatory problems, debility, diabetes or venereal diseases are some of the possible hardships. You are brave and intelligent, powerful, fortunate, with plenty of pleasures, jewelry and conveyances, learned, rich and happy, free from enemies, a favorite of the government, loving to your spouse and have lucky sons. You have few relatives and brethren and annihilate your enemies. Growing wealth is indicated. You are blessed with some income or employment, and might get some trouble through maternal uncles. You are not scared of thieves, a strong controversialist and combatant. You might gain through quadrupeds. You are known all over, are most generous, prosperous but not without some trouble, fond of merit, noble, protective, with good appetite, strong and healthy and recognized by the enemies. You are blessed with sons, have respect for the learned, are sensual and can face heavy odds. You will have plenty of attendants and followers.
Saturn in Lunar Mansion '27 Revati-2'
You will be contemplative, practical and energetic, and may work in the fields of geology, mineralogy, mathematics or statistics.
Rahu in Aquarius 22°20'42"
Rahu in Aquarius with Libra ascendent
You may find yourself associating with and trying to help persons who are rather degraded, possibly say drug dealers or lowly engaged persons. You may also do things that you know are wrong but you try to make these actions appear respectable. You may have difficulty knowing your own inner goals and desires clearly.
Rahu in 5th House
Your creativity has a strange or foreign aura; not bad, but deep and unusual. Your writing for example, is so deep that others get somewhat absorbed in it. You have a very easy time understanding the lower levels of society, the seedy, the underworld, the poor, the distressed - this is an area where you move easily. You are deeply interested in liberation from material entanglement and expert in understanding the inner meaning of things, in other words, you have insight.
During the periods ruled by Rahu, you will experience gains and success. Your spouse will sometimes exhibit a short temper and have stomach problems. Watch out for your own difficulties with the heart and lungs. You will probably have at least one son. You worry much, and have few friends. Your first child may pose some difficulty.
During Rahu ruled periods, watch for indigestion and excess bile. Also, this Rahu brings you into association with the downtrodden of society and it makes you mentally sharp. Your son(s), if any, should watch out for snakes and danger while in the country.
Rahu in Lunar Mansion '25 Purva Bhadrapada-1'
Ketu in Leo 22°20'42"
Ketu in Leo with Libra ascendent
Your attention turns towards the ultimate, and you seek union ultimately with universal truth. Thus, you take up the humanitarian activities you think will help others. This brings you renown for your helpful and high-minded attitude.
Ketu in 11th House
Ketu gives you the strengths of being learned, well dressed, and attractive. However, you have something in your nature that is not straight, perhaps some unbecoming private attachment that you have yet to overcome. You are considered powerful in society, but you have an unknown fear nagging at your mind. Success and gain come from all sources.
You are very fortunate, learned, handsome, strongly built, well-dressed and very glorious. Your off-spring is unfortunate and suffers from fear and danger. You are reputed, charming, of a happy-go-lucky nature, own house and property, are affluent, generous, and skilled in aesthetics and archery. You are sweet, pleasant, humorous, learned, prosperous, imposing, and fortunate with jewelry, dress and ornaments. Ailments of rectum, and tension are indicated.
You are generous, kind, popular, fond of literature, contended, and respected by leader types. At times you will have undesirable associates, miss good opportunities, suffer unfulfilled hopes, and bad friends giving bad advice. Look to Ketu ruled periods for some of these negative effects.
Ketu in Lunar Mansion '11 Purva Phalguni-3'
You will be devoted to God and visit several sacred places. You will enjoy an abundance of God's grace. You will be straightforward. However, the health of your spouse may be a cause of concern.
