Lagna in Aries 24°08'54"
Aries in the Ascendant allows you to be fearless, ambitious, courageous, and eager to take initiative. An idealist by nature, you strongly want to contribute to society and you wish to change things. Routine is not for you, you like originality and fresh beginnings, and you want credit for your achievements. You create awe and radiate energy in achieving your goals, which makes others uncomfortable. You will find difficulties when dealing with women, education and expressing yourself. To obtain your highest potential, you need full freedom without restriction. Your idealism may create some contradictions. Outwardly you will be active, but inwardly lonely and frustrated. If you could be freed from mundane entanglements, you could readily attain to divine planes due to your goal-oriented and idealistic nature. Be careful of fire. You will be interested in visiting foreign places, be miserly in disposition, emaciated, not happy, jealous, stammering in speech, troubled by bilious and windy diseases and complaints of heat, be skillful in performance, timid, religious, famous, not very thoughtful and will destroy others' wealth. You will be fickle-minded, enjoy pleasures, have bad nails, be bereft of brothers, be discarded by your father and have inactive (or unlucky) children. You are endowed with various kinds of wealth and are virtuous. Your spouse will belong to a base family, be virtuous and reproached. You will derive happiness and wealth in undesirable manners. (This is a classical reading, somewhat unchanged, and is ridiculously general if taken literally, so don't take it literally. Look to the energies and tendencies indicated herein, not the literal words).
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '2 Bharani-4'
Bharani, the star over your Ascendant or Moon brings the following characteristics: You are generally not well-liked, in spite of the fact that you are pure hearted and do not harm anyone. When you want to express your opinion in any matter, you are just not bothered about the sentiment of others. You will not like to get anything for yourself by buttering. Come what may, you are not ready to work against your consciousness whether you are, according to others, right or wrong. Due to this attitude you have to face a lot of resistance and failures. You won't hesitate to spoil the relationship even with near and dear ones on small matters. But when you are convinced of your fault, you will completely forget your enmity and start reciprocating sincerely. Tactful behavior is alien to you. You are far away from a state of obedience. Arrogance quite often leads to miseries. Subordination is equal to death for you. When you have to bow to others, you become pensive. Advice and encouragement have no room in your mind. You will generally be having a good all around education, and you have the capacity to go deep into any matter. You will shine well in public life. You tend to face criticism and loss of wealth. You like to command others and will always be eager to establish supremacy. You cannot march forward without hurdles and will have to face stiff competition, and in the long run will quite often have to face failure. To others, you may appear to be arrogant, but the truth is that you are pure hearted.

Life is full of ups and downs. It is advisable that you do not get involved in unnecessary arguments or competition. You will fight for certain principles, which will ultimately lead to trouble. You are fond of spreading rumors and wasting time by humors. There will not be any good or bad periods for long time. In short you have to face a life of good and bad always. You are quite capable of looking after others but you need someone to look after you. Ultimately friends turn against you. You cannot establish permanent relationships with anyone. There is never a permanent good or bad time.

After 33 years of age, there will be a positive change in your surroundings, in life overall, and in livelihood. You are fit for any type of work, particularly in administrative job, business, agriculture and small scale industries. You may make money through sports, music, art advertisement, automobile, restaurants or you can also be a good surgeon or judge. You can be successful in the business of tobacco items or cultivation of tobacco. You will attain success in all undertakings, provided you establish or start any activity by proceeding to the eastern direction first. The place of activity or business may also be in the eastern side or eastern direction from your house.

Marriage comes around 27 years of age. You are fortunate in conjugal bliss. Your spouse will be expert in household administration and well-behaved. Your spouse must save money for a rainy day, as you may make some impulsive purchases, whether there is money left for other purposes or not. You love your family and dislike being away from family members even for a day.

While you do not take care of your health, there won't be any serious health problem. Main possible diseases are dental problem, diabetes and bodily pain, high fever, apoplexy. Normally, you are a very poor eater. You believe in the principle of 'eating to live', not 'living to eat '. You are afraid of water and you should be careful while traveling through water, bathing in rivers, ocean and ponds. Injury in the forehead and just around the eyes. Since you may be a chain smoker, you have to be careful about your lungs.

Sun in Leo with Aries ascendent
You will receive public honor and be blessed with only one child, who will reach a high position in life.
The Sun occupying this sign greatly intensifies its impact. You are fired with an idealism which often epitomizes the Vedantic way of life. If supporting conditions are present, you will strive to realize this highest spiritual objective in the society around you. Such a stupendous task may be possible, due to your sharp intellect, enduring stamina, and through physical creativity, i.e. the birth of a son.
Sun in 5th House
The fifth house is a strong placement for the Sun. It focuses the intelligence more on learning than material gathering. Usually this limits or denies children. This is favorable for becoming a spiritualist and teaching same. Idealistic tendencies may surface. Sharp intellect, even cruelty to opponents may manifest. You may be inclined to study philosophy, alchemy, astrology, etc.

The Sun works on the consciousness aspect of life rather than on matter or form. Thus it ordinarily bestows only one son and does not help to make the individual rich. It will, however, make you intellectually bright. You may suffer on account of your first born son. Your mind is sharp. You are sometimes manipulative of others, and you enjoy amassing money. This is favorable for all matters of enterprising nature. The speculative interests are very keen and the capacity for enjoyment, very great.

Children are harmed by the Sun in the 5th. Either abortions, early loss, or problems from them arise. The exact type is not sure, but that some harm or trouble from or to the children is indicated by this Sun, so beware accordingly. Also, you like to roam in forests and hills, and your mind is very good, though you use it sometimes to cheat others. This Sun is good for learning. Second marriage is partially indicated by this placement also.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '12 Uttara Phalguni-1'
You are enthusiastic, talkative and strong tempered. You are highly ambitious and find it difficult to act in a subordinate position, which means, you will generally occupy a reasonable position.
Moon in Aries 12°00'51"

Moon in Aries with Aries ascendent
Causes Raja Yoga.
Amiable and wealthy (though finances may fluctuate). Your eyes will be round and voluptuous, always longing for romantic love.
Moon in 1st House
You will be gregarious and will want everyone to appreciate you. This will be especially true when the Moon is in female signs. You can suffer from somnambulism or sleepwalking. Another way to take this is that you are sleepwalking sometimes during the daydreaming in life. You take your mental life very seriously. Handsome but fickle. Scared of water or sickness. In your 15th year you can travel much. In general context it is stated that the Moon in the Ascendant can make one cunning, short-statured, valorous, happy, liking nice milk-based foods, interested in astrology, famous in the later part of life, subject to perils, and disbelieving of your spouse.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '1 Ashwini-4'
Those born in Ashvini Nakshatra will have a beautiful countenance. The eyes will be bright and large, the forehead broad and the nose little bigger. You may appear to be very calm and quiet, but capable of getting your work done unnoticed by others.

You are very stubborn in decision. This stubbornness is more predominant in the case of a person born during the period from April 14th to April 28th, when the Sun will be transiting your exaltation place in Ashvini and from October 14th to October 28th, when the Sun will be transiting your debilitation place in Swati.

There is a saying that even Yama, the god of death, cannot change your adamant attitude. Those born in Ashvini of other months will have stubbornness in a lesser degree. You will remain faithful to those who love you and will not hesitate to sacrifice anything for such persons. Ashvini born is the best friend in need, provided others understand them. You keep your patience even at the time of greatest peril. But it will be a hurricane task to console you when you go berserk. You are the best adviser to persons in agony, but you deeply resent and fear criticism, see suggestions from others as a frightening attempt at manipulation.

You take your own time to do any work. Even so, your actions may be slow but well thought. You will not jump on any matter without examining pros and cons of each item of work. You cannot be easily influenced. Once you carry out an action or work, whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, you will stick to what you have done, come what may.

You are a firm believer of God, but there is no room for religious or other sentiments. You are orthodox but in a new style i.e., you believe in modernization of orthodox method and belief. Even though you are quite intelligent, at times you make mountains of even small matters. This leads to a lack of mental peace and a desperate sort of mood.

You are always interested in keeping the entire surroundings neat and clean. If the birth is in between 2 degree to 3 degree of Ashvini, you are very much arrogant for nothing. You may be a deceit and a smuggler. If all other combinations are good, you may have wealth but cannot enjoy it. You will bring bad name to the family.

You are jack of all trades. You are generally fond of music and interested in literary pursuit. Periods up to your 30th years of age will be full of struggle. You have to face obstacles even for small matters. From the 30th year, there will be steady and continuous progress which will continue up to 55 years of age. One of the predominant features noticed is that you are very stingy, but your expenditures will be more than your income, due mainly to your pomp and show. You are inclined to meet your desires and needs at any cost.

You love your family in entire sincerity. However, you are subjected to hatred by your own family members due to your adamant behavior. Affection that was expected and the care that was required, cannot be derived from your father. In other words, you and your siblings will be neglected by your father. Whatever help you may derive is only from the side of your maternal uncle. Maximum possible help will come from those who are outside the family circle. Normally marriage takes place between 26 to 30 years of age. There will be more sons than daughters. Your health will generally be good.

However if the birth is between 2 degree and 3 degree of Ashvini, your health will be poor. You are prone to migraine headache, heart trouble, etc. You must follow remedial measures.
This position is the most outstanding position for Moon, provided Sun is not in conjunction. You attain a high education and knowledge in various branches of sciences with your own efforts. Mostly, persons born in 12 and 13.20 degrees of Ashvini are officers or doctors or persons holding very high position in government. Doctors born in this part of Ashvini Nakshatra become successful in the medical field. The same is the result, when the Ascendant falls in 4th part of Ashvini, even if the Moon is positioned elsewhere. There might be a scar or mark on the head or face.
Mars in Pisces 26°38'58"
You distribute generously as you accumulate. A mixture of opposites-timid and bold, indolent and active. Anxious, successful as jailer, inspector, hotel keeper etc. Success through friends. Fear of drowning, fire, poisoning, disappointment in love affairs. (If afflicted, trouble through every source, especially due to own carelessness in speech and action.) Troubled by disease and indifferent children, lives in foreign lands, insulted by own relatives, loses wealth by cunning and cheating disposition, will be depressed in spirits, miserable, will disrespect elders and saintly persons, is unkind, desirous, fond of praises and sometimes will receive fame.
Mars in Pisces with Aries ascendent
Your craving for idealism and your religious fervor will destroy your career prospects. Having lost many opportunities for self-development, you will also lose support from your siblings and your spouse may leave you, either through death or divorce.
Mars in 12th House
Mars externalizes inherent tendencies. The twelfth house being the repository of all one's past karmic forces and future possibilities, the presence of Mars here brings these forces to the surface. This is done in order to neutralize them so that you may be liberated from their binding effect. During this process you may often be unprepared to bear the pressure; your reaction creates further binding.

Under the influence of Mars, you have the freedom either to liberate yourself from bondage and begin a new life or become more deeply immersed in layers of materiality. But if you have already cleared your past debts and no further undesirable forces are pending, your spiritual tendencies surface. In that case, you show genuine tendencies toward spirituality.

Under negative conditions, you may be possessed by anger, lustful behavior, animosity against friends, depravity and criminality. When these tendencies are bravely faced, you may possibly free yourself to enter the heavenly gates of divine pleasure. If your past is already full of spiritual merit, the Martian effect will externalize it, and you may be an inspiring spirit who helps others progress courageously. It is possible that some physical illness may afflict you if you have the seed of such an illness in your karmic past, even while you are engaged in your spiritual mission.

Whoever has Mars in the 12th will be fortunate in respect of brother. You may be a glutton and sexy, but get little pleasure from your spouse. A second marriage comes. You are truthful, generous, and excited and may be the founder of some organization.

You might be without progeny or have few children, and no sons. Traveling abroad is indicated, and you get success at age 26. You are frank, but somewhat crude. Danger of falls, poison, accidents, headaches, blood impurities, secret vice, and dyspepsia in old age are indicated.

There will be no accumulation of wealth. You may lose through theft, advances or misplacement. Mars in the 12th house brings about financial ruin. It attacks with such weapons, so severely and powerfully that even the strongest body shows the wound marks.

This placement may indicate rumors to defame, scandals, disputes, strife or jealousy, trouble through servants, fear and sorrow due to dependence, and a life of misfortunes. You may suffer immediate loss of wealth. Beware of danger from thieves, burglars, weapons, and enemies.

You are base, and depraved by own actions, and have a desire to extort others' wealth. Your eyes are transient, your mind restless, and you are mobile, cheerful, strong, prosperous, debauch, despondent and successful in gaining your end.

You are hostile, and may be without wealth and spouse, are rude with own family members, aggressive, inconsiderate, and always tense. You may divulge secret information to the enemies and get contempt and imprisonment. You might die in seclusion or prison. You have the reputation of being a trouble creator amongst your friends by giving them wrong advice.

You are extravagant, atheist, cruel, wicked and crafty, a boaster, and travel far. This placement denotes possible injury to left eye, ear, hand or foot of the spouse. If this Mars is well posited, the wound marks are short lived, if ill aspected or associated, they remain for a long time. Death of paternal uncles is indicated.

You are wrathful, sexy, crippled, infidel, jealous of friends and relatives, unfriendly, agitated, disabled and suffer loss of reputation and wealth at age 45. You may suffer from troubles in throat, ears and eyes, blood infection, feverish complaints, cataract or heat stroke on eyes. Beware of secret or treacherous enemies, misadventures, accidents, slander, or scandal. Mars here indicates expenditure through enemies, crimes etc.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '27 Revati-3'
Mercury in Virgo 15°46'44"
Your intelligence or deeper thinking capacity is very strong, giving you understanding of finer things, original thinking, retentive memory, and fondness for discussion and literature.
Mercury in Virgo with Aries ascendent
Few physical ailments arise, and you achieve recognition for learning. Colleagues, however, spread adverse rumors which are appropriately met in due course without causing any serious damage. The fatigue of constant traveling may exhaust you.
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 '13 Hasta-2'
Jupiter in Virgo 11°46'19"
Choosy about friends, analytical mind, observant, promising, much traveling. Unorthodox about marriage partner. Gains through literary pursuits and speculation in commercial investments. Ailments of bowels and lack of concentration.
Jupiter in Virgo with Aries ascendent
Jupiter's influence may provide temporary relief, but will not stem the tide of misfortune unless it is supported by other planets. Heavy debt and nervous exhaustion will have to be dealt with before you can attain an eminent career and accumulate wealth.
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 '13 Hasta-1'
Venus in Leo 4°30'37"
You are philanthropic, devoted to the preceptor, infirm, amorous, generous, honest, given to pleasure and amusement, talented at art and music. Speculative and manipulative tendencies.
Venus in Leo with Aries ascendent
You are primarily interested in mundane existence. You are affectionately attached to your spouse and have one or two very likable children. Your education will be smooth and your interest in the fine arts well-established.
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 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 '10 Magha-2'
You will enjoy wealth and happiness, but will have less sexual potency. Even in the state of happiness, one imagined problem or another will make you miserable for nothing.
Saturn in Virgo 3°05'50"
During Saturn ruled periods especially, there will be a desire to dive more deeply into the unknown sciences of life's deeper essence. At the same time, you may fall away from your past moral position or social attachments to a new position.
Saturn in Virgo with Aries ascendent
Saturn may cause high blood pressure, physical deformities, or other congenital problems.
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 '12 Uttara Phalguni-2'
Rahu in Scorpio 28°38'18"
Rahu in Scorpio with Aries ascendent
You are impel to seek material goals without any problematic reactions.
Rahu in 8th House
With Rahu in this position you are always trying to attain your goal, but unfortunately your goal is not often clear to you. Under such conditions you always worry about unimportant things or strive after something which seems important momentarily but gives no ultimate satisfaction, and to attain your assumed objective you may associate with undesirable characters who bring a bad name.

You suffer from complex ailments which are difficult to diagnose. Rahu promotes health, promises longevity, grants gifts, legacies and inheritance from the dead. You are extravagant, sick, and ther will be strife with brothers, life away from birthplace and tend to have an unhappy family life. You are denied happiness through spouse, children, honor and education and might suffer from diseases of rectum or diabetes. Hindrances or enemies and complains of gastralgia or hystericus etc. are indicated. You are denied patrimony, but are respected and recognized by the rulers and pundits.

Fortune smiles once, but losses mock you again and again. You are forsaken by the noble for no reason and gain of sufficient wealth from the government, that sometimes is lost. You are well-built, short-tempered, free from danger, suffer from diseases of the generative organs, like hydrocele etc. You gain through defeated enemies, are troubled, ill-spoken, ailing and vicious.

You are praised by the state and condemned by some. There will be many ups and downs, troubles and sufferings at times in life and you might have a stomach problem caused by hard labor. You receive honor and fame from the government, are noble by deed and thought, healthy, and get some income or employment. You are happy in old age.
Rahu in Lunar Mansion '18 Jyeshtha-4'
You may lead a life separate from your family due to your cunning nature.
Ketu in Taurus 28°38'18"
Ketu in Taurus with Aries ascendent
This placement destroys all pleasurable or sensuous excitement, thus inducing this planet's typical desire for spirituality.
Ketu in 2nd House
Ketu in the second house may make you conceited, or feel depraved. There is something in your feelings which makes you careful to watch out for yourself. There are conditions which cause you to worry about finances in general. The threat of government fines looms at times. You'll have a hard time speaking before many people, or they won't accept or understand what you're trying to say. Those who support you, may feel that they've gotten themselves on the wrong side of the fence. You may therefore adopt a sweet tone of voice, and by and by, having learned that it provokes less trouble from others, this carefulness and control over your speech could lead to success.
Ketu in Lunar Mansion '5 Mrigashira-2'
There may be some physical handicap, but in spite of this, you will be highly learned. You will devote your life to the upliftment of the mentally retarded and physically handicapped. You may suffer from infection of the tongue or the throat.
