Lagna in Leo 27°01'39"
Leo in the Ascendant bestows a regal appearance, as if the life force is vibrating from every part of your body. You have a broad face with strong bones and beautiful and expressive eyes. You may be a possessive parent, egotistical and selfish in temperament, and a braggart. You are excessively libidinous, but not necessarily promiscuous. You are not satisfied with the material heights you attains and are always aspiring towards greater intellect, greater wealth, greater status, and greater respectability. Often you think you have achieved more than you really have; nevertheless, you are never satisfied, for you think you deserve more than you have received. You always strive to reach the top of the mountain.

You are basically materialistic, but like to assume that you are spiritually highly evolved. Involvement in work is intense and whole-hearted. You may be seen working adroitly on the subtle problems of life, whether related to physical sciences, psychology, or to concrete and technological problems in engineering, industry or economics. It is not the subject matter that is significant: Your complete involvement in whatever you undertake is of supreme importance to you. In that pursuit, your engagement of effort is total.

There is a suddenness in your actions, which gives you an element of surprise and unpredictability. However involved you may seem in a pursuit or relationship, you can suddenly end it. You are loyal friends, but that friendship can end suddenly. To some people, you may seem ungrateful. The world exists only for your convenience and the satisfaction of your desires. In your social relationships, contradiction and self-aggrandizement seem to predominate.

You may find married life difficult. Your spouse is very calculating and self centered, which are some of Leo's traits as well. Compatibility becomes difficult. In such circumstances, you often act in a clandestine manner, concealing certain aspects of your life. You do not trust others; equal partnership is not a common factor in your life. This placement gives rise to wealth in mutual combination.

The Sun is Lord of the Ascendant, Mercury Lord of wealth and Mars is of course Yoga Karaka. Thus all the three planets have acquired some power or other to do good. It will be seen that the Sun, Mercury and Mars play an important role in case of persons born under Leo Ascendant, while other planets will be able to do some good under certain special conditions.

One born in this Ascendant will be fond of eating meat and enjoying worldly enjoyments, will earn wealth and honor through the government, will be bereft of religion, dutiful in family affairs, hold a high rank of office, be majestic, strong, bold, be a miser, will trouble others, will wander in hills and forests and speak sparingly, be irascible, firm in friendship, careless, inaccessible (or inviolable), will destroy his enemies, have famous sons, honor the virtuous, will be rich through agriculture etc., be interested in business and will spend heavily on prostitutes and dancers. Spouse will suffer dental diseases.,

Sun in House 2
Placement of Sun in second house suggests that the native will be quite generous and compassionate in nature. Moreover, they are likely to be successful in money matters. Their efforts get a lot of recognition and respect. Such people have great leadership skills thus often enjoy a good position in authority. Their leadership skills also fetch them a good income. Sun in 2nd house also means the native enjoys an enviable social position and commands a lot of respect from others.

Individuals having such a placement have an insatiable desire for power and a strong sense of self-worth. Their energy is driven towards attaining power in the form of acquiring possessions, a hefty bank balance, and talent. While they tend to earn well, they have a tendency to spend extravagantly.

The royal streak in these natives makes them lord over things and people, which should be avoided to lead a better social life. As per classic Vedic scriptures, these persons tend to be a little too much straightforward. Moreover, they struggle to learn and acquire new skills. Some speech disorder such as stammering is also likely to natives having Sun in 2nd house.

It is a beautiful combination for artistic expressions with lots of feeling. It is also good for being a worker for the upliftment of the downtrodden of the world.

It can lead to very strong religious experiences and eventually a very strict mental composure.
Moon in Aquarius with Leo ascendent

You are sweet and soft-spoken, own a palatial home and might have two marriages, if the Lord is strong. If the Moon is exalted, full, or in its own sign it will give one marriage and you tend to be contented with one spouse only. You will be amiable, happy, will possess a good physique and be sensuously disposed. If the weak Moon be so posited, you will be pitiable and sick.

There is difference of opinion among the various authors inasmuch as some say there will be wealth with this placement while yet others say this position will cause poverty. It obviously depends on the state and Lordship of the Moon.

You insist on following religious traditions. You are also of the adamant type. Once you make a decision it is not easy for others to change your mind. While you are very intelligent and efficient in most walks of life, your are very soft at heart. You are a mixture of good and bad. When provoked, you will rise like a bulldog, but that anger is soon subsided. As you do not believe in pomp and show, you have a feeling of shyness to exhibit your talents. However, your talents will be unearthed due to your interesting and attractive conversation, which will be highly instructive and educational.

Up to 34 years of age will be a trialsome period for your professional field. After 34 years there will be constant progress. You are highly suited for the practice of astrology, psychology and healing arts. Your literary capacity and greatness will come to limelight even when you are very young.

It has also been found that you are not capable of leading a happy married life.

Mars in a female chart shows a masculine and forceful character; in a male chart it shows force as energy and enterprise. The sign occupied by Mars in this house is very important.

You have few friends and experience little happiness through your spouse. Your spouse might have few brothers or none. Mars in the 7th house is good for doctors, as it favors surgery.

Good for gaining wealth in general, this placement promotes conjugal pleasure, eloquent, critic of books, smartness and good learning in the early part of life.

Venus in House 12
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.

In the tenth house, its impulse often causes you to be maladjusted to society. However, your respect for others depends on the real worth of a person, based on inherent qualities.

Since society in general favors the external forms of behavior and the recognition of traditional values, you may find most social interactions to be based on hypocrisy despite any spiritual contradictions between the hidden and the visible.
