The men of this rising sign tend to be somewhat detached, interested in sports and other activities that attract them outside of just family life. You do tend to have high ideals, morals and ethics.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '20 Purva Ashadha-4'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Purva Ashadha.

You will have a lean and tall body. Your teeth will be very beautiful, ears long, eyes bright, waist narrow and arms long. In other words you have good attractive physical features. Your intelligence is exemplary, but there is a tendency to jump to conclusions. No one can defeat you in arguments. You have extraordinary convincing power. You will not, under any circumstance, submit to others, whether you are right or wrong. On the one side you can give a lot of advice, but you cannot hear advice from others. While you pretend you to be courageous you cannot reach that state unless forced either by circumstances or by persons to show the requisite courage. In decision making you are lacking. You find it difficult to make a decision even on small matters. Once aroused by instigation or argument you make decisions without thinking of the pros and cons of such actions and you stick to that decision till the end. Even if you are completely wrong, nobody can change your decision. Such is your obstinate character. You like to do a lot of things for others for nothing in return, but you will be subjected to a lot of criticism. You derive maximum benefit from unknown persons. You cannot keep any permanent relationship with anybody. If you can work with a particular aim with full sincerity you can reach the top of life. You hate external show. You are God-fearing, honest, humble and far from hypocrisy. You can never think of doing anything which will disturb the progress of others. You will be highly religious and always interested in religious acts. You are a good collector of antiques. You may also take interest in writing poetry.

Even though you can shine in almost all fields, you are particularly fit for a doctor's profession or fine arts. You are advised not to venture for any business unless you have dependable employees or managers. You will be attracted to the studies of occult philosophy and sciences. Up to 32 years of age will be a period of trial and error. Thereafter you slowly start climbing the ladder of success. Between 32 and 50 years of age will be very good. You cannot enjoy any benefit from your parents. However, you will be lucky to have benefits from siblings, particularly from brothers. You will be spending most of your life in a foreign land.

Your married life will be more or less happy, but marriage may be delayed. In some cases, it has been noticed that marriage takes place in a most competitive way. You are more inclined towards your spouse and in-laws. Even then, there will be frequent disharmony between you. At last, you find peace in the company of your spouse. You will be lucky to have talented and respectful children, who will bring name and fame to your family. There may be at most two children.

It is quite often noticed that you are prone to a particular incurable disease. Still you will not care for your health. You are prone to severe breathing trouble, bronchitis etc. Even in the state of critical illness you will not hesitate to jump into work which you feel should be completed. You may face problems with your thighs. You must take care about your lungs as you are liable to suffer from pneumatic pains.
Sun in Scorpio 9°14'28"
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.

When the Sun occupies this sign, you will have a singular ability to delve deeply into every experience of your life. You may be poor, you may be rich, you may be powerful or you may be a nonentity, but in all cases you will be able to separate yourself from your external conditions. You will endure your sorrows cheerfully, and with as much composure as your pleasures. You may be hard pressed for money or poor in health, but your inner glory will always shine forth.
Sun in House 12
You are interested in the real essence of manifestation. Having withdrawn from the objective plane of existence, the soul dwells in subjective reality. It produces spiritual forces strong enough to counteract or restrict development along purely materialistic lines. Since one's father represents the creative energy in man and thus leads to the furtherance of manifested creation, the Sun (father) in the twelfth is not favorable for your biological father, nor do you spend your vital energy in creative channels.

You withdraw from the path of going forth, on which you get involved in materiality. You are not interested in money, marriage, social status, and so on. Some may therefore consider you anti-social.

You are free from physical pain, but eye troubles are indicated. You are victorious in competition, self-controlled and successful in everything you lay your hand on including obscure or unpopular occupations.

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.

A sympathetic chord resounds when we meet someone with the Moon in this house. The depth of the ocean is in your eyes, and the tranquillity of your disposition can quiet the most turbulent emotions in others. Motherly affection, nice cars, pleasant travel and universal respect give a sense of contentment which makes you non-competitive with others.

You are popular among relations and loved by the opposite sex. You are affluent, but often afflicted by physical problems. Your mother will be short-lived if the Moon is in the 4th house. The native with the Moon in this position always becomes a great authority with the help of brethren. Early life is not very happy and smooth. Full support and encouragement from the family is indicated, including that of spouse and children.

The 4th house stands for and can give information about your environment, home, parents and their end of life - especially your mother's. If a strong Moon is posited here, you are powerful, with a rank like a treasurer, youthful with pleasant spouse and children and plenty of prosperity. You are helpful to friends, favor adulteresses and can get sicknesses from food. You live in palatial houses and are charitable. You might gain from marine trade including fishery, pearls and shells as well as from the import and export of goods or from agriculture.

You are devoted to God and godly people. If your Moon is full, you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Your mother may have been ailing, so you might have been breastfed by a nurse. You are virtuous, large-hearted, a person of authority, melancholic, learned, well-versed in scriptures and fortunate. If the Moon is in a movable sign, you have to change residence frequently.

Wealth, property inherited from the mother and devotion to mother is indicated. This placement bestows good luck in life overall, however, the latter half of life is often happier than the earlier, and your ambition for happiness will be fulfilled.

Moon in Lunar Mansion '27 Revati-1'
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.

You will have much courage and profound devotion. You will be blessed with a happy family and obedient children. You will know that hardships in life are the result of past Karma, and will not be resentful about them. Your conduct will be righteous and you will have immense self-discipline.
Mars in House 9
Mars interests you in the spiritualization process, which takes you through difficult and varying sets of experiences depending on your special temperament and past Karma. You may be a great egotist, a valiant fighter, a bigoted religious fanatic, a dedicated and self-sacrificing leader, or even a frustrated artist or scientist, but in any event there will be a spirit of indomitable determination which will finally, after all mundane responsibilities are over, place you on the path of righteousness and spirituality. You are a reformer with a modern out-look. If you do not exercise self-control, you will destroy all orthodox beliefs. You break marriage sanctity. Some person may remain unmarried and others have to marry twice to take care of the children. This is a suitable placement for doctors, but not so good for lawyers; it is gainful for engineers, fitters, goldsmiths, iron smiths, but unsuitable for police officers. Don't expect any promotion without strife. You might run for government elections. You are very sharp, rational, brilliant and fortune by luck, as under malefic Mars all efforts are futile. You may have no elder brother or brother-in-law or you do not gain from either of them. You are hard working, have a strong drive, and live by industry or by luck. The former, even if it is a lion-like effort, is denied its reward. You are not allowed to boast that you have earned by hard work. This Mars can not afford any labor to fructify under its influence. Of course, if you have acquired any fortune due to last life, Mars will not create any hurdle in its consumption. All pains to acquire wealth will out-weigh their results. You are vicious, wealthy, reputed, adorable, debauch, fortunate, gain from agriculture, undertake fruitless journeys, are dignified, irreligious, suffer from heart burning and there might be trouble to your father. You are malevolent, sick, trapped, unfortunate, shabby, gentle, fond of learning, immoral, impotent, and your eyes, hands and body are discolored. You live with low people, might be cruel or violent at times and have distressed criminal tendencies. Beware of trouble from poison and fire and danger from voyage, litigation and through disputes. You might have bleeding feet, and feel weak. Gain comes after age 28. You might engage in trade by waterways. You have an enthusiastic mind, and are sometimes irrational, impulsive and too independent. If Mars is under good aspect you are jealous and enterprising; he will act impulsive in fiery signs, and somewhat passive in earthy or watery signs if in airy signs, you will ignore all discipline either legal or moral. Mars in this house may give religious fervor.
Mars in Lunar Mansion '11 Purva Phalguni-2'
You may be in employment with defense or police department. You may be subjected to some sort of black magic and may suffer from some disease which nobody can detect.
Mercury in Scorpio 20°59'12"
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 Sagittarius ascendent
With Mercury in this sign, you may lose power, position, and dignity. Your mental stability will be at stake. The intense polarities in your approach to life may destroy your composure, your marital harmony, and your social status. Your lust may ruin your chances for material as well as spiritual progress.
Mercury in House 12
Mercury helps you receive cosmic inspiration and thus it is always creative. It is a neutral planet, as it does not contribute anything of its own, but transfers subjective messages into objective manifestation and transmutes objective experiences into subjective awareness. In this state, the occupancy of the twelfth by Mercury can be effective whether the soul is withdrawing from the path of materialization, or whether it is pursuing it. For this reason, one finds that you are a skilled craftsman, succeeding in what you do, interested in religious activities, but also able to deceive others. This planet contributes only what you have already acquired. Mercury in the 12th is good for getting in contact with righteous persons and for warding off losses and failures. You spend on good causes, and the learned persons like you. Your failures come of your own misdeeds. You may even turn against your own people to follow your path. You may feel hostility towards your own kinsmen or society and go against them. You are true to your word and learned. You might go against social code to earn your living. You are skilled in noble acts, and interested in spiritual things or divine sciences. Ultimately success comes. Fear from government or authority is present. Mercury here indicates expenditure on education.

Unless you move to the realm of the spiritual, where material relationships are very insignificant, your life will be miserable.
Saturn in House 8
Saturn in the eighth house puts a powerful lid on past auspicious influences, forcing you to meet the everyday trials of life with no help from past Karma. Under such rigorous conditions you become bewildered, having been abandoned by relations, abused and tormented through no apparent fault of your own, and put to physical hardships which require great stamina to bear. In some cases, finding your helplessness acute, you begin to seek pleasure through dissipation, though under favorable circumstances you may begin pursuing an arduous spiritual path which, though it may not eliminate sorrow from your life, may reveal the deeper meaning that life and destiny awaits you after your period of trial.
