Lagna in Libra 27°22'34"
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.

You like magic and charm. This is not a good placement in regards to younger brothers or your sisters' children. Loss of family or serious problems regarding the first family, like fighting, troubles, heavy and oppressive realities concerning the parents or siblings are indicated. Your early life is troublesome, and you are perhaps not so well taken care of materially, but later things get better, especially after moving. You acquire wealth eventually, as well as all other trappings of a pleasurable life. You are soft spoken, mischievous, independent and surrounded by troubles. After migrating in mid-life, you enjoy good success away from your relatives. Generally a second marriage is indicated. Eye troubles are common with this Saturn. Agriculture may be a losing proposition for you, but this is a good placement for those who wish to take to monastic life. Saturn in the 2nd will have the power to protect your wealth and family, but will oppress and try to harm your 4th, 8th and 11th houses, which stand for issues regarding heart, emotions and mother, longevity, gains and aspirations. So, sometimes, when Saturn is activated in a period that is running, you may face some loss or trouble in these areas.

Rahu is powerful to provide material prosperity when it is in the 11th house. However, you may lack modesty. You can control your desires and activities when you want to. You are very wise, though you don't speak much, preferring definite results before spending speaking energy. Therefore, you are a master at strategy, where forethought and tongue-holding is required, and also a good commander, and possibly a writer. You live away from your birth land, and mix well with foreigners and drifters.
The way you earn money is hard to predict because you might be dealing in ways that others are not aware of, except those with whom you deal. If other favorable conditions are present, this is very good for becoming an eminent philosopher, expounding your thoughts effectively. Rahu in the 11th gives rise to Raja Yoga during Rahu's periods. Rahu in the 11th means gains through foreigners. Though you respect the really learned, you yourself are often found in a level of code or conduct just below the standard that you respect. Therefore, while you may associate with priests, you yourself may instead prefer to have intense business dealings, for example.
This Rahu is not good for gaining status, but does indicate success in various ways. Try to protect your hearing as it indicates trouble there. This Rahu protects against harm in general. Rahu in the 11th gives you faithful friends who are astrologers and the like. You can succeed in both business or service. The separation from an elder brother may become a burden.
