Lagna in Capricorn 2°17'48"
Capricorn in the Ascendant indicates you are probably tall and well built. You can, however, have a weaker and leaner lower body. You are very hardworking and persevering, but you have to watch out for melancholic moods. You also have to try to curb the ego at times. You are careful with others and respectful of them, but at the same time anxious to achieve your own ends. Other factors permitting, you can be very religious. You also tend to respect the occult.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '21 Uttara Ashadha-2'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Uttara Ashadha.
You have a well-proportioned, tall body with a broad head, long nose and bright eyes. You are of charming and graceful appearance with fair complexion. You will be refined, soft-spoken, pure-hearted and have an innocent looking countenance. In case you happen to occupy a very high position in society, you will not like to express pomp and show and will dress simply. You give respect to all and are God-fearing. It is not easy for others to find out your underlying merits and demerits. It is only after several acquaintances and dealings one can come to a conclusion about your behavioral aspect. In most of the cases, it has been noticed that there will be a black mole around your waist or on the face. A slight reddish color is noticed in your eyes.
You will be very plain in your dealings and will show utmost sincerity in all the work you undertake. You will not deceive others and would not like to cause any trouble to others. So much so, due to your inherent good behavior quality you often land into uncalled for problems. While you are plain hearted, you will not give in to any pressure and will not bestow full confidence on anybody. But once you take a person into confidence nobody can change you. To a certain extent, you are slave to flattery and expect that others must look after your welfare. You will not make any hasty decision, whereas full consultation with trusted persons will be obtained before coming to a conclusion.
While you are very much involved in all activities you undertake, usually you are lazy. Even in the state of conflict you cannot utter harsh words directly and in spite of a difference of opinion you will not like to express your unhappiness to others. Any discussion you make with others will be without expressing ill-will. You are bound to shoulder many responsibilities at a young age. Due to this you are fully trained to shoulder any responsibility with perfection. Once you are convinced that any action carried out by you or words uttered by you happens to be wrong you will not hesitate to repent and express regret. Your every action requires recognition by others. Otherwise, you are dragged into the state of unhappiness. You are subjected to maximum happiness at one stage and the maximum unhappiness at the next. You have to be very careful in any controversial dealings. Before any collaboration is made, you have to completely screen the persons with whom you are entering into such collaboration. Otherwise, failure is certain. The time after the age of 38 years will mark all-round success and prosperity.
Normally your childhood will be somewhat better. But later on you may have to face a lot of unexpected reversals and problems on the family front. It has been noticed that between the age of 28 and 31 some important change takes place in the family circle. Your married life will be more or less very good. You normally get a responsible and loving spouse. At the same time the health of your spouse will be a cause of concern. Your spouse will have problems of acidity. In spite of the comparative advantages mentioned above, you lack happiness from children and they will be a main cause of concern.
You are prone to stomach problems, paralysis of limbs, and pulmonary diseases. Poor eyesight or some defect in the eyes is indicated as well.
Sun in Aries 6°29'39"
Exalted Sun will grant authority. Willful, rash, religious. Insomnia. This brings the following general characteristics, which get modified by specific aspects and characteristics in other places in your chart: You will comment on the meanings of things such as ancient wisdom, be famous in arts, fond of combat or competition. You will be fierce, attached to your duty or engagement, fond of roaming around, will have strong bones, will do good, be valorous and strong. You may become a significant leadership personality. You may receive from other highly placed personalities, and you will have wisdom. This placement gives the ability to be a doctor, or a politician.
Sun in Aries with Capricorn ascendent
You do not enjoy much of maternal happiness, but a fair longevity. You are also prone to heart diseases.
When the Sun occupies Aries in the fourth house, a spark of fresh energy shines through your life. You are capable of diving deeply into spiritual studies, for which you may unhesitatingly sacrifice your most cherished possessions. When ambition is aroused and imagination is fired, you may strive for and achieve the highest goals in life. You will not follow tradition or historical precedent, but will break new ground. You will be a leader in your family. You are always powerful, keeping the best company and enjoying singular honors.
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 '1 Ashwini-2'
Not so good a position. Longevity is also doubtful. 'Balarishta' taking place before the age of 8 years in several cases have been noticed. Normally, placement of Sun in Ashvini, which is its exaltation sign, is considered to give good results. But reality reveals otherwise for people born with the Sun in the 2nd part of Ashvini. Scientific reason for this statement is that the Sun, after completing the yearly sojourn through the entire zodiacal belt is under rest before exaltation takes place. Hence it might be ineffective in producing any good results. When the Sun is under such a sleeping state, other evil forces gain power. You are driven to poverty and even begging in foreign lands. Intensity of bad results increases when Moon is in exact conjunction with the Sun here. One exception is, that if Mars aspects or conjoin the Sun, results become good.
Moon in Leo 23°04'09"
Moon in Leo brings idealism in love, and you will desire affection from all directions. You will be fond of the opposite sex and enjoyment, calm, magnanimous, persevering, loyal to father and Guru, a good organizer, well-dressed, given to music art and sports, popular and respected. Some of the natural feminine qualities bother you because of how opposite they are to your mental nature. You may not eat well, have stomach disorders, tooth decay, eat meat, are harsh, like to copulate in the forests and hills, yet be charitable, respectful to your mother, valorous, dutiful and majestic looking.
Moon in Leo with Capricorn ascendent
You move towards sensual gratification, disparaging well-established or socially approved channels but you become 'burnt out' in the process. Peace of mind is disturbed and you fall victim to ailments which incapacitate you in some ways.
Moon in 8th House
Moon in the 8th house harms the mental composure. The past is brought to the surface. Defects in character, ailments, and adversaries appear in the forefront and you find you have to deal with these. The Moon in the 8th house indicates death in a public place, by drowning, ship wreck, road accident or public calamity. Separation from family members due to spouse's influence is indicated in some way. You tend to suffer from different acute and chronic ailments and take varied treatment from several doctors, who flock to your house and prescribe strange medicines. You may have constant fear of curable and incurable diseases. The eighth house indicates death, legacies, interest in occult science, and diseases of the secret parts and generative system.

Education, sources of earning/profession: you choose not to be a slave to anyone. Because of this quality, it is quite often noticed that you will not take up a job which involves subordination in its true meaning.

You want to be sincere in all the work you undertake. Neither can you be a party to any illegal activities nor have the power of tolerance to see such activities. This condition of your mind may drag you into several complications in life, but you are ready to face such problems. You do not like to get any benefit at the cost of others. You may have several hidden enemies. Hence, such enemies stand as a main obstacle in your progress. However, you are able to subdue such enemies and attain much success in all the work you undertake. You enjoy power. You give preference to position and authority rather than money.
You pursue a righteous path of progress and may devote your valuable time for such a cause. Even though you are able and intelligent you cannot necessarily reach the place of your dreams. It does not mean though that you will not rise in life. In the employment field, you will frequently change your job, particularly at the age of 22, 27, 30, 32,37 and 44 years. You will attain the requisite position only after your 45th year of age. While you do not want others' money you may be frequently in trouble in the financial matters because of others. In other words, borrowers may not return the money to you. In spite of all the adverse positions mentioned above you will, after your 45th year of age, reach a good position where power and authority vests in you. In the business field you can shine well.
Family life: your married life will be happy. You will have a good spouse and children and also derive much happiness from them. In some cases it has been noticed that you may not marry the person of your choice. You will lead a life away from your birthplace and other family members.

Rahu in 10th House
Your mission in life is for furthering some special cause in the world. Depending on your status in society and the planetary combinations, this special mission may be predicted, but the real impulse of this shadowy planet will be to make you dedicated to a cause which you will want to carry forward even at the risk of life, status, or health.
Undaunted by any difficulty, undeterred by any impediment, you will persist with a sense of dedication, whether you are waging a war of complete annihilation, reconstructing a social order, or composing verses of celestial beauty and harmony. Rahu achieves its objective despite whatever hardships it has to undergo. Its impulse produces persons of great merit, devotion, and religious susceptibilities. With inauspicious associations and influences Rahu can, however, make you disturbed and instill evil ideas in your head.

You have few sons. Danger from conveyances and danger and trouble for parents and brothers is indicated.
You are a manager, advisor or chief of a group. (Note: Rahu is in charge of a number of not so good qualities. The 10th is an important house. These things may only appear in thoughts, and they might not necessarily manifest, but this depends on the overall strength of the chart.)
You are sensual, extravagant, affluent, a winner, fickle, fond of poetry and drama, competition or confrontation, migratory, and successful in business. Rahu makes you a bit of an intoxicator, or wrong doer at times, and causes sleeplessness, living or working with foreigners, and sex with choice partners.
You find comfort and pleasure in the company of irreligious people, are discontented with own relatives or father, fall in love with divorced or separated persons, or persons from disturbed love affairs.

Ketu in Aries 26°38'05"
Ketu in Aries with Capricorn ascendent
Under the influence of Ketu, you may become disturbed, lonely, and contemplative.
Ketu in 4th House
This Ketu can have a strong influence on life in the following way: It sometimes renders the mind unbalanced, disturbs social relationships and makes personal life difficult. Ketu manifests itself in the psychology of an individual rather than on the material conditions of life. Placed in the 4th house indicates that full support and help from the mother may have not been present. Often you are away from home, and when you are home, there is some strife. Ketu holds things back and upsets things.
The fourth house stands for mother, the heart, home life, real estate and emotional comfort. These particular issues in your life may have some troublesome aspects. You may find that you are not quite able to surrender your heart to something you feel pretty good about. Reservations for no reason may appear, for example. This will be Ketu acting, just to test your resolve to make you feel convinced and sure of what you do.
Ketu in the 4th may indicate that the mother holds back from giving to you for some reason, or that inheritance from her side is withheld. You leave the 'mother's home' early, and you are of the nervous type. In an assembly of persons, you may sometimes be looked down on, or not seen as equal to the others. Some kind of stigma is there. But you are valiant, truth loving, soft and sweet. Watch for an overly critical nature and unpleasantness with the parents.
Ketu in the 4th indicates that you may have a hard time getting or keeping real estate. Land and property may become a confusing issue at times - you may not know what to do about a piece of property in a Ketu ruled period for example. People may consider you in contempt. Ketu makes you thin and fiery. There will be some jeopardy of the honor of yourself or family. There might also be much strife or discord in the family background, especially coming from the mother's side.
