Lagna in Leo 26°11'49"
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.,
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '11 Purva Phalguni-4'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Purva Phalguni.

Physical features: you have an attractive personality, and a stout body with mixed color. Frequent sweating, and a snubbed nose are indicated. Character and general events: you like full freedom. It is seen that you become famous in one field or another. However, your mind may be full of disturbances over one or the other matter. You have inherent intuitive powers to know the problems of other people. Hence, even before the help is requested for, you extend a helping hand to the needy. You will possess sweet speech and are fond of traveling.

Education, sources of earning/profession: you choose not to be a slave to anyone. Because of this quality, it is quite often noticed that you will not take up a job which involves subordination in its true meaning. There is a drawback in you that cannot be a 'yes master' even to your boss in the case of employment. You are not in a position to derive much benefit from your superiors. You want to be sincere in all the work you undertake. Neither can you be a party to any illegal activities nor have the power of tolerance to see such activities. This condition of your mind may drag you into several complications in life, but you are ready to face such problems. You do not like to get any benefit at the cost of others. You may have several hidden enemies. Hence, such enemies stand as a main obstacle in your progress. However, you are able to subdue such enemies and attain much success in all the work you undertake. You enjoy power. You give preference to position and authority rather than money.

You pursue a righteous path of progress and may devote your valuable time for such a cause. Even though you are able and intelligent you cannot necessarily reach the place of your dreams. It does not mean though that you will not rise in life. In the employment field, you will frequently change your job, particularly at the age of 22, 27, 30, 32,37 and 44 years. You will attain the requisite position only after your 45th year of age. While you do not want others' money you may be frequently in trouble in the financial matters because of others. In other words, borrowers may not return the money to you. In spite of all the adverse positions mentioned above you will, after your 45th year of age, reach a good position where power and authority vests in you. In the business field you can shine well.

Family life: your married life will be happy. You will have a good spouse and children and also derive much happiness from them. In some cases it has been noticed that you may not marry the person of your choice. You will lead a life away from your birthplace and other family members.

Health: your health will generally be good. However, you may be prone to dental disease or digestive disorders. Even so, no permanent nature of disease is noticed.
Sun in Scorpio 5°56'25"
You will have quite a taste for combat or competition. This placement causes the urge to stray from the Vedic path, to lie, to be dull, to lose the spouse or have an uninspiring spouse and to be cruel. You may be course, a miser, fond of quarreling, troubled by weapons or attacks from others, by fire and poisonous things and may be unfortunate in respect of parents.
Sun in Scorpio with Leo ascendent
You will earn abundant landed property, be learned and possibly famous.
You may feel a sense of loss, despite the fact that your material attainments are substantial.
Sun in House 4
You view life in a regal way, with a thread of detachment - making the changes of life, or living itself, something you 'view' rather than identify with. It makes you detached from the masses. You require people to offer significant things in exchange for your friendship, or in other words, you want significant people as your friends. Therefore, ordinary people are not usually found to be very important to you in your own personal life. This is also the reason why you are at times faced with vindictiveness from jealous people, even though you deal very nicely with everybody.

You will earn money and power by your own efforts, and those who oppose you will find it difficult to 'win'. Your later career will tend to be better than your earlier attempts, and you will gradually attain a better situation and a strong personal character. The first half of life is made difficult in a number of ways, but gradually things improve. You will suffer deeply due to bad leaders, and may also experience weakness in the heart, or heart troubles. You will acquire a very prosperous career, but will suffer in some attacks or litigation.
Sun in Lunar Mansion '17 Anuradha-1'
You will be brave and esteemed, and will possess the power to destroy your foes. You will be very attached to the opposite sex. You will be settled in a foreign country or far from your birthplace.
Moon in Pisces 23°50'28"
The Moon in this placement may cause you to be wavering, changeable, lacking in concentration and stability, and although you remain positive about others, you are easily disturbed. You are drawn to things which are not concrete, such as spirituality and philosophy. You are reserved and retiring, eloquent, gifted, short-tempered, a miser, learned, and social. You will have to experience many disappointments, are a voracious reader, author, and inconsistent in your love affairs. You are expert in fine arts, capable of winning over even your adversaries, learned in scriptures, beautiful, musical, religious, cohabit with a number of mates, might be a polite speaker, serve the leader, are happy and wealthy, won over by the opposite sex, virtuous, like water, and are liberal.
Moon in Pisces with Leo ascendent
You are interested in the 'hidden pleasures' of life. You may suffer from kidney trouble but receive a legacy.
Moon in House 8
Moon in the 8th house harms the mental composure. The past is brought to the surface. Defects in character, ailments, and adversaries appear in the forefront and you find you have to deal with these. The Moon in the 8th house indicates death in a public place, by drowning, ship wreck, road accident or public calamity. Separation from family members due to spouse's influence is indicated in some way. You tend to suffer from different acute and chronic ailments and take varied treatment from several doctors, who flock to your house and prescribe strange medicines. You may have constant fear of curable and incurable diseases. The eighth house indicates death, legacies, interest in occult science, and diseases of the secret parts and generative system. Moon in the eighth house causes fear of chronic diseases and strong enemies e.g. government, thieves, etc. You are dependent on doctors and their medicines, are intelligent, learned and splendorous. You may suffer from the severest of diseases and will be attended to by many doctors. The eyes may suffer and epilepsy is possible. You will not have firm livelihood and will be wandering. Poverty may come and conjugal happiness suffers.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '27 Revati-3'
The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Revati.

You will have a very good physique, a moderately tall and symmetrical body with a fair complexion. You are very clean in your heart, sincere in dealings and soft-spoken. You have a knack of dealings with others as per the occasion warrants. You do not give much heed to others unnecessarily. Since you have a completely independent life, you are easily hurt when resistance arises. You cannot keep anything secret for long. You will not blindly believe even your loved ones. But once you take somebody into confidence, it is not easy for you to keep away from them out of attachment. You are very hot-tempered.

Come what may, acting according to your inner calling is your principle. You try to observe the principle which you feel is correct and resist tooth and nail till the end for achieving or following that principle. You draw premature conclusions on any matter. You are God-fearing, superstitious, religious and rigid in the observance of orthodox culture and principles. You are stubborn and ambitious. Even a slightest failure of ideas or plans will give you maximum torture. Out of all the 27 Nakshatra born persons, Revati born persons are the most God-fearing and are religiously much inclined. Hence they also enjoy the maximum blessings.

You will be interested in scientific solutions, historical research and ancient cultures. You will be known publicly for merits in any one of the three fields mentioned above. Ancient cultures include astrology and astronomy also. You can be a good physician, astrologer or poet. If you are employed in a government organization you can be the most successful person. Revati born are mostly settled in foreign countries. When I say foreign countries, it includes quite a reasonable distance from one's own birth place. You will come up in life through your own efforts. Your intelligence and ability are the inherent quality at birth. You cannot stick to any particular field of work or job for long. You cannot expect to gain much compared to the ratio between work and reward till your 50 years old. Between 23 and 26 years will be a good period, whereas between 27 to 42 years of age will mark a lot of problems financially, mentally and socially. It is only after your 50th year that you can think of a worry free and stable life. You are not able to get any help from relatives or your father. In other words, you are unlucky to enjoy the benefits from near and dear ones.

However, your married life will be moderately good. Your spouse will be quite an adjusting type.

You are prone to fever, dysentery or dental diseases, intestinal ulcers and ear problems.
Your first year may have been marked with injury or illness.
Mars in Scorpio 0°57'04"
Industrious, practical, scientific in approach, firm and positive, indifferent to others. Diplomatic. Successful chemist, result oriented; sudden or violent accidents. Trouble through service. Attached to trade, interested in higher knowledge, a leader of those who buck authority (not necessarily a bad quality), skillful in duties, interested in war, highly self-willed, will do big deviations in the minds of others, unafraid of enemies or authorities, betrays friends, likes to be direct and unafraid, unhelpful, a liar if necessary, endowed with land, children, spouse, and troubled by poison, fire, weapons and wounds. Good for involvement in law enforcement and military or other regimented and goal oriented engagements.
Mars in Scorpio with Leo ascendent
Mars in Scorpio is useful for gaining personal power, property, and leadership in one's community. Even though you are devotional and calculating, you shun social associations and parties, and may have a cold or distant relationship with your marriage partner. You may be involved in a leadership position in the community. Perhaps gains of personal power and property will come your way.
Mars in House 4
Mars precipitates the impact of past karmic deeds, especially those of an adverse nature. Ordinarily, Mars is a planet of selfishness, greed and rash action, which, in the long run, catches up with you in the form of physical or psychological problems. Mars creates impatience, impulsiveness and self-centeredness, unless it receives auspicious aspects or is in exaltation or in its own sign. As a result, you may be considered cruel, inflexible and covetous by nature. Under such circumstances, Mars may produce affliction for the mother, loss of property, dependence on manual labor to earn a livelihood and constant movement from one place to another. Generally, you are not born into a respectable family, are abandoned by siblings, favor bad company and involve yourself in tawdry sexual affairs. You earn your living by serving bad people. Don't expect much gain through friends and relatives. You are apprehensive of enemies, get government favor, doles of clothes and fabric through the rich. Mars in this house denotes quarrels with parents, disputes in family, unpleasant domestic affairs leading to misunderstandings and strife. NOTE: Understand that this is a negative Mars placement, as Mars by its nature is not very compatible with the nature of the sensitive fourth house, and take the things mentioned in here as areas to look to for these impacts, but not necessarily as 'drastically' as they are described.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '16 Vishakha-4'
Mercury in Scorpio 27°57'53"
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.
Mercury in Scorpio with Leo ascendent
Your intelligence is sharpened and you are able to earn a substantial amount of money which is either converted into fixed assets or spent on family responsibilities.

Physical comforts, a large number of friends and relations, and a very sharp intelligence are indicated by this placement of Mercury in the 4th house. There is the ability to understand the great range of truths in life. This is a very good Mercury for 'understanding'. You are very considerate to others. You could take to astrology, should you desire to. Many great astrologers are found to have Mercury in the 4th house. However, there will probably also be frequent change of residence and worry or anxiety through domestic affairs. Likely career choices are learning in private institutions, dealings with real estate, publishing or home-based businesses. You are composed and learned. Gain comes from parental or authority figures. Basically, it could be said, that at heart, you are like an heir to the kingdom. You serve the established order and understand it like a prince or princess would understand the kingdom.

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.

Saturn in Taurus 8°07'56"
You have connections with older things for pleasure, such as antiques, ancient customs or cultures, older spouses, and so on. You are not easily contented, because the desires are unattainable. Because you feel restrictions arise mainly out of society's typical understanding of happy family life, you are compassionate on others troubles, which you see all around you. You try to restrain the presence of what you see as 'typical happy home life' in yourself. You try to make it more 'true' and 'more focused on higher principles'.

You will give comfort to others, but your life will seem barren, indigent, and full of hardships if measured only with the yardstick of material success.
Saturn in House 10
Saturn, with its tremendous power to annihilate old worlds and create new ones, provides a detachment in worldly matters which nevertheless has constructive and creative capabilities. You may be drawn more towards the abstract sense of justice, the underlying or hidden order beneath external manifestation, and even towards the complete destruction of the existing world order. You would make a good surgeon, engineer, social reformer, scientist or butcher. Moving from one place to another or from one job to another, you do so without knowing why but act from an unseen motivation. You are often a leader or a great thinker, but sometimes may be considered a little crazy in your ideas. Saturn indicates power, pride, ambition and lust for material and worldly gain.

Rahu in House 8
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.

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'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.
