Lagna in Gemini 20°07'44"
Gemini in the Ascendant gives you an attractive appearance. Usually tall, with large hands and feet, you may be lean and thin with beautiful eyes and a sharp nose. Your intelligence and pleasant demeanor make your face radiant. You have a special skill in diplomatic negotiations, expertise in trade practices, a talent for dramatic performances, and a great capacity to conceal your emotions. Ambivalence will be your outstanding feature. You are often bashful and very selective in speech. You like to meet people, travel extensively, and acquire knowledge. You have a special ability to influence people and you delight in sporting with the opposite sex. You have an adaptable, dual personality. You can be serious or trivial, depending on your mood and circumstances. Success in life depends on intuitively understanding other people's thoughts and emotions. This capacity to interpret the thoughts and feelings of others, enables you to be a very successful writer or novelist. Among the planets, Venus has a special affinity with a person born under this sign, while Mars, the Sun and Jupiter produce adverse results. The Moon is a killer, but if posited with favorable planets may yield auspicious results. However, the Moon, who is the Lord of the 2nd, does not become a death significator (Maraka) for a person born under Gemini Ascendant. You will have a dear spouse, be fond of ornaments, charitable, respectable, will have two mothers, will be favorable even to your enemies, interested in music, fine arts, amusement and poetry, be gentle, fond of beautification, conceited, truthful, impatient, crafty, will possess limbs of irregular sizes, be of fierce appearance, will destroy even fearful enemies, and be endowed with lands, jewels, gold etc.

When the Sun occupies this sign, you are so enraged with the social order that you are moved to join certain schemes of action against it, which cause you great personal trouble, even to the extent of being convicted of a capital crime.
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 Having withdrawn from the objective plane of existence, the soul dwells in subjective reality.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 kind to the masses, accepting of low class ways, very grateful, because you feel you don't deserve much, very independent and accepting of hard work, interested in factual science and astrology and often found to be addicted to habits such as smoking or drugs. 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. Aquarius is a very moody and depressive sign, often leading to mental depression, but with a twist of philosophy and religion involved. It can lead to very strong religious experiences and eventually a very strict mental composure.
Moon in Aquarius with Gemini ascendent
This will produce luxurious conditions which you may not in all cases be able to enjoy. You will, however, have the urge to work for others and share your wealth with the needy.
Moon in House 9
You are religious, in a conventional way. You follow the teachings of your tradition and practice helpfulness, sympathy and charity, but your attachment to worldly objects and sensual gratification is as conventional as spirituality. You are comfortably situated, but towards the end of life you may experience an intense frustration which opens you to the path of true spiritual awareness. You are lauded by the populace, wisemen, and the bard. Fortune smiles on you since early youth. You are of sound physic, but your courage fluctuates with the changing Moon. The ninth house denotes higher thought, science, philosophy and religion, long journeys and shipping affairs. You are a philanthropist, giving alms, and practice some fasting and devotion, and undertake pilgrimages to rectify for next life. You are blessed with a beautiful spouse and obedient children, wealth, noble deeds, holy pilgrimages, and fortune. You are handsome and popular. Enemies get puzzled and bow before you. You are devoted to God and the father and loved by the other sex. These pleasures are experienced by you if the strong and full Moon is posited in the 9th house of his chart. If the Moon is afflicted, weak or in depression, you are poor, characterless, foolish and immoral. You perform all religious ceremonies. You are charitable and strong and if the Moon is full, it brings fortune by the middle age. If the Moon is of the dark half, you may meet destruction. You are learned and virtuous. Strong full Moon will bestow longevity to your father. You will be devoted to divine and paternal assignments, will be endowed with happiness, wealth, intelligence and sons and will attract the other sex. You will be honored by all, including the enemies. Valor and health will wax and wane like the Moon's rays. You will have a beautiful face akin to the full Moon. You will be wealthy, virtuous, endowed with spouse and children and will gain abundantly in the 24th year. The Moon in the 9th will give a jocular disposition and skill in three languages.

The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Shatabhisha.
You will have a soft body, excellent memory power, a wide forehead, attractive eyes, bright countenance, a prominent nose and a bulged abdomen. You would appear to belong to an aristocratic family at first sight. You will not hesitate to sacrifice your own life for upholding the truth. As you were born with certain principles, you have to quite often confront with others as you cannot deviate from your principles of life. Selfless service is your motto. 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. You are capable of acquiring a very fine and high education. This Nakshatra has produced eminent doctors and researchers in medicines. Generally you have to face a lot of problems from dear and near ones. Even then, you always extend a helping hand to your family even without being asked. It has been noticed that you have to undergo maximum mental agony due to your brothers. You cannot enjoy much benefit from your father, whereas full love and affection is derived from your mother. It has also been found that you are not capable of leading a happy married life. While on the one hand you do not enjoy happy marriage life, your spouse will have all the good qualities that are expected of a companion.
Outwardly you may appear to have very good health but it is not so. You cannot tolerate even the slightest affliction to the body. You are prone to urinary diseases, breathing troubles and diabetes. As you are too much inclined for sexual pleasures, you may suffer from sexually transmitted diseases. Even though you may keep an illicit relationship, it will be kept a secret from all.

Mars in Taurus with Gemini ascendent
Mars will greatly accentuate the carnal passions and will induce you to spend your earnings on sensual enjoyment and social receptions. You may, however, earn a substantial amount of money from these social contacts.
Mars in House 12
Mars externalizes inherent tendencies. The twelfth house being the repository of all one's past karmic forces and future possibilities, the presence of Mars here brings these forces to the surface. This is done in order to neutralize them so that you may be liberated from their binding effect. During this process you may often be unprepared to bear the pressure; your reaction creates further binding.
Under the influence of Mars, you have the freedom either to liberate yourself from bondage and begin a new life or become more deeply immersed in layers of materiality. But if you have already cleared your past debts and no further undesirable forces are pending, your spiritual tendencies surface. In that case, you show genuine tendencies toward spirituality.
Under negative conditions, you may be possessed by anger, lustful behavior, animosity against friends, depravity and criminality. When these tendencies are bravely faced, you may possibly free yourself to enter the heavenly gates of divine pleasure. If your past is already full of spiritual merit, the Martian effect will externalize it, and you may be an inspiring spirit who helps others progress courageously. It is possible that some physical illness may afflict you if you have the seed of such an illness in your karmic past, even while you are engaged in your spiritual mission.
Whoever has Mars in the 12th will be fortunate in respect of brother. You may be a glutton and sexy, but get little pleasure from your spouse. A second marriage comes. You are truthful, generous, and excited and may be the founder of some organization.
You might be without progeny or have few children, and no sons. Traveling abroad is indicated, and you get success at age 26. You are frank, but somewhat crude. Danger of falls, poison, accidents, headaches, blood impurities, secret vice, and dyspepsia in old age are indicated.
There will be no accumulation of wealth. You may lose through theft, advances or misplacement. Mars in the 12th house brings about financial ruin. It attacks with such weapons, so severely and powerfully that even the strongest body shows the wound marks.
This placement may indicate rumors to defame, scandals, disputes, strife or jealousy, trouble through servants, fear and sorrow due to dependence, and a life of misfortunes. You may suffer immediate loss of wealth. Beware of danger from thieves, burglars, weapons, and enemies.
You are base, and depraved by own actions, and have a desire to extort others' wealth. Your eyes are transient, your mind restless, and you are mobile, cheerful, strong, prosperous, debauch, despondent and successful in gaining your end.
You are hostile, and may be without wealth and spouse, are rude with own family members, aggressive, inconsiderate, and always tense. You may divulge secret information to the enemies and get contempt and imprisonment. You might die in seclusion or prison. You have the reputation of being a trouble creator amongst your friends by giving them wrong advice.
You are extravagant, atheist, cruel, wicked and crafty, a boaster, and travel far. This placement denotes possible injury to left eye, ear, hand or foot of the spouse. If this Mars is well posited, the wound marks are short lived, if ill aspected or associated, they remain for a long time. Death of paternal uncles is indicated.
You are wrathful, sexy, crippled, infidel, jealous of friends and relatives, unfriendly, agitated, disabled and suffer loss of reputation and wealth at age 45.

Jupiter in House 9
Jupiter in the ninth house is very good for religion. It makes you attracted to rituals, observances, study of scripture and good association with others into these things.
