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.

You expect your surroundings to be very clean and you dislike persons who do not have the tendency of maintaining neatness. Once you notice a person in untidy conditions you will not hesitate to open your mouth. You take pity on the condition of others and try to help others as far as possible. You like to have very neat and delicious food. It is because of this that you are a very good host. You are God-fearing and have full respect for elders. You are a believer in victory for truth. You cannot expect much benefit or return from those persons whom you have helped, whereas it has been noticed that you are subject to deceit from others. Even if you catch a thief, you will try to find out the truth of the circumstances which led that person to become a thief, and if you are convinced you will let that person go. Your inherent quality of peaceful appearance and the knack of dealings will penetrate to the minds of the public, hence you are the fittest politician for modern times. Your smile is enough to attract and be remembered by others. Whatever may be the ups and downs in life, you will neither reach to the top or bottom. In other words, a mediocre life will be enjoyed by you. Even illiterate persons born in this Nakshatra will show complete maturity and will be eager to gather knowledge whenever they get the opportunity. You are a very good adviser. Others will look to you for solving individual as well as collective problems. You are a versatile genius. You have the ability and capacity to undertake different jobs at a time. If you are installed in a seat of some power and authority, you will shine well. You are always in search of an authoritative job. Since you have to shoulder much responsibilities and spend for fulfilling responsibilities you will always be in need of money. You will not like to take revenge even on your bitterest enemies. On the other hand, you will think to let God give due punishment to them. Up to 30 years of age you will undergo several changes. The time between 30 to 45 years of age will mark stability in all walks of life.

Mars in Lunar Mansion '10 Magha-2'
Mercury in Scorpio 3°20'51"
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.

Jupiter in 9th House
Jupiter in the ninth house is very good for religion. It makes you attracted to rituals, observances, study of scripture and good association with others into these things.

Then only can religion be purified.

You will probably have more than one spousal connection. You like travel, fine arts, sports and amusements. You are honest.
Venus in Sagittarius with Capricorn ascendent
With Venus, you lose many valuable opportunities in life. You have a clever mind and your sensitivity is extraordinary. Many people are willing to help you, but your personal sloth, sensual inclinations, clandestine affairs and rebellious temperament destroy your chances of phenomenal progress.
Venus in 12th House
Venus produces a material impulse. It leads you towards sensual gratification and involvement in unethical relationships which bind the soul strongly in chains of materialization. One may remember that Venus is the advisor to the demons who command the anti-devic (godly) forces. The advice given by Venus can lead you to adopt bad actions which will require scores of lives to release the soul from bondage.
These activities are produced by passion, lustful intentions, psychologically acquisitive tendencies, and ritualistic or overly formal religious observances. These tendencies are greatly accentuated when Venus occupies the twelfth house, which can finally fix you in your pleasant sleep (of illusion) and in the enjoyment of a comfortable couch (karmic bondage).
You are successful in service but interested in independent business. This placement denotes mental restlessness and little financial gain. You are ethical and value affection, but are incapable of giving pleasure. You can be a successful poet, writer, painter, singer, dancer etc. You sometimes earn money. Have your excess bile checked. You find pleasure on the play field or in noble deeds, and spend your wealth on religious, charitable and public welfare activities. Loss of virtue and reputation is indicated.

This Venus indicates a love for romance and adventure, and a desire to unravel the mysteries of nature, secret arts, medicine, and chemistry. You get pleasure and gain through animals, ignoble jobs, and charitable institutions. You love loneliness. This Venus indicates that you will be saving money always.

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.
