Lagna in Virgo 20°51'19"
Virgo in the Ascendant allows the primordial feminine power to pour down into the individual's personality. You may not be constitutionally strong, but are pleasing in appearance, feminine by temperament, sharp in intellect, and capable of interpreting the thoughts of others. Given over to sensual pleasures, the spiritual quest will not be your forte. You like to be surrounded by respectable people, who could be famous as authors, tradesmen, lawyers, diplomats and even martyrs. You may attain material prosperity and be honored outside your immediate surroundings and country. You can be easily frustrated, and your passionate nature often leads to serious psychological complications. You may even have a psychopathic personality and often found to be deceitful, critical, manipulative and covetous of other people's wealth. You are full of anxiety for the world at large and usually do not have many children. You will be gentle, skillful in music, poetry and fine arts and in training or teaching others, be a sweet speaker, a liar, be affectionate, interested in charitable works and serving others, be endowed with goodness, enjoy others' wealth, wander, have a female's disposition, be modest, attempt to enlarge your landed properties, be fortunate, sensuous, virtuous, merciful and beautiful, will honor elders, be sinful, inimical to brothers, may have (more) daughters, be phlegmatic and windy in humor and will be away from base and inimical people.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '13 Hasta-4'
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.

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.

Sun in 3rd House
Sun in the third house generally destroys harmony with ones siblings. This is because you have universal interests, and can therefore not focus on the things your brothers and sisters focused on while you matured. You have wider vision.

With an expanding circle of friends and associates, and through wealth and material gifts, you have plenty of opportunity to develop your personality. You are in a position to understand the functioning of the mind and the process of clarifying it. This understanding sensitizes your perceptions so that, when the occasion arises, you may receive messages from the psychic world.
Moon in 9th House
You are religious, in a conventional way. You follow the teachings of your tradition and practice helpfulness, sympathy and charity, but your attachment to worldly objects and sensual gratification is as conventional as spirituality. You are comfortably situated, but towards the end of life you may experience an intense frustration which opens you to the path of true spiritual awareness. You are lauded by the populace, wisemen, and the bard. Fortune smiles on you since early youth. You are of sound physic, but your courage fluctuates with the changing Moon.

You are blessed with a beautiful spouse and obedient children, wealth, noble deeds, holy pilgrimages, and fortune. You are handsome and popular. Enemies get puzzled and bow before you. You are devoted to God and the father and loved by the other sex. These pleasures are experienced by you if the strong and full Moon is posited in the 9th house of his chart.

You are charitable and strong and if the Moon is full, it brings fortune by the middle age. If the Moon is of the dark half, you may meet destruction. You are learned and virtuous. Strong full Moon will bestow longevity to your father.

Moon in Lunar Mansion '4 Rohini-3'
Rohini is the star ruling your Ascendant or Moon.

You are normally of slim physique. However, based on other planetary positions and aspects, short structured and fatty persons have also been seen. Your eyes are very attractive with a special magnetic touch. Appearance is very beautiful and attractive, big shoulders and well-developed muscles. You are short-tempered. Once you get angry, it will not subside so easily, and nobody can change your decision. You become extremely obstinate, if someone attempts to override your opinions or thwart your plans. You remain oblivious to any advice or ideas counter to your own. You have a special knack to find fault in others. You are ruled by your heart rather than your brain. While you are ready to sacrifice everything for loved ones, you will not hesitate to cause extreme trouble to the hated. You feel impressed with your own work. Acceptance of the truth and discard of the false is your plus point.

Your life is full of ups and downs, as you do not try to pre-plan your objectives. You can attain great success in life, provided a little restraint is kept in the freedom of your mind. There is no tomorrow for you. You spend everything for the sake of today's comfort.

You can shine not only in any independent profession or business but also in social work. As far as possible, you try to be more sincere and honest in all the work you undertake. But you lack patience and forgiveness. You try to be a jack of all trades, and in the process you fail to pass through the path of requisite rhythm and system. Your freedom of mind will quite often lead you to downfall. It is also seen that some Rohini born persons have risen from the lowest rung of life to the highest rung due to other planets in the chart being very well placed. You may earn from milk products, sugarcane or as a chemical engineer. You are best adapted for mechanical and laborious work.

Between the age of 18 and 36 will be the most trialsome periods. You will have to face a lot of problems economically, socially and on health grounds. It is often noticed, that such people enjoy their lives best between the age of 38 and 50, and 65 and 75. One of the primary factors to keep in mind is that you should never take anyone into confidence. You have to be extra careful with business partners and employees. There is an inherent drawback in you, that you blindly believe others. For a happy existence, it is suggested that you should screen people thoroughly before confidence is bestowed on them.

While you cannot enjoy full benefit from your father, you will be more attached to your mother and maternal uncle or anything maternally related. You will not hesitate to throw away any social or religious laws when warranted. Hence your married life will be marred with disturbances.
