Lagna in Aries 4°38'10"
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 '1 Ashwini-2'
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.
