Lagna in Libra 7°24'55"
A Libra Ascendant usually bestows a long face, an attractive appearance, tender eyes and sparsely set teeth. You are generally above average height, lean and thin. Mentally, you are disorganized, emotionally unstable and socially unbalanced. You are extravagant, generous, helpful and simple at heart. You crave social contact and the assurance that other people need you. You are also subject to contradictory thoughts and actions. You are fond of justice and law, but easily irritated. Your friends and benefactors tend to be well positioned individuals, but you can also associate with dishonest people who, unfortunately, might stick with you for years. Physically you appear strong and healthy, but you may secretly suffer from diseases relating to the loins and kidneys, and should take precaution against urinary tract infections. You may have a strong desire for artistic achievement, but fail to actualize it. Saturn is a very powerful planet for you. Jupiter is not very good. You are fond of helping the lowly, and so much so that you may use base acts to achieve your goals. You respect spiritual leaders, because they respect principle centered persons, but you are often too driven to stick strictly to principles yourself, but would rather see to it that the objective gets carried out.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '15 Swati-1'
The Star ruling your Moon or Ascendant is Swati.

Sun in Pisces with Libra ascendent
You will face many obstacles in your undertakings, and may suffer from bilious diseases.
The Sun in this position creates much trouble. Enemies, debts and diseases come to in many forms. However, you successfully intimidate and scheme against opponents, destroying their united attack. Local government itself may disturb your mental peace, and precipitate humiliating actions against you. In spite of all these difficulties you suffer only minor repercussions and are largely protected against major calamities.
Sun in House 6
The Sun produces a very deep-rooted impact. It destroys all impediments to the flowering of your innermost uniqueness. When the solar rays sparkle and strengthen the soul, no other conditioning can obstruct its clear impulses. The inner person must have its way; external conditions must adjust to inner ones, and thus they dissipate and fall asunder. From an ordinary point of view, this may seem to be a destruction of physical and social barriers. But this placement enables you to achieve victory over enemies, a successful termination of litigation and disputes, and effective solutions to financial difficulties.

However, there may be kidney troubles or other such ailments, especially of the navel region. Psychological maturity and self-reliance are acquired along with a feeling of personal isolation. At times, even the government is unhelpful and antagonistic. You may decide to live away from your homeland. With this combination, a very enigmatic situation arises: people at large express tremendous goodwill and sympathy for you, but they cannot establish empathy. Thus you may sometimes find yourself on the psychoanalyst's couch unless your natal chart is basically strong.

The sixth house is both for friends and enemies, health and sickness, attachment and hatred, maternal relatives, cousins, servants and inferiors. Its results are full of opposites - sharpness of the opposites is felt according to the influence of the planet, its association, conjunction, or as aspected.

The 6th house protects against enemy, sickness, sorrow and debt. So you are a destroyer of enemies; a friend of friends. But it also indicates troubles for the maternal uncle and his family. Animals like cows and buffaloes cause great loss, sometimes financially also. Danger to life can come from sharp-horned animals. During travel, you may be attacked by tribals or robbed by thieves.

You are strong, happy, rich and are respected in society. You may be a glutton and very passionate. But you are gentle and known by your qualities. You are a leader or either a general or a judge. You are wise and a well wisher of your family. You tend to be thin, lean and healthy. You build property and are helped by your maternal uncles. You will be very libidinous, have powerful digestive fire (i.e. capable of digesting fast), are affluent, famous for virtues and might be an army chief.

Financial success, disease of the eyes in the 20th year, happiness, affectionate disposition etc., will follow. You will spend money to save others from legal punishments or spend for friends in general. There will be troubles for the mother's family (i.e. maternal uncle and other such relatives). You may be subjected to danger from quadrupeds or lose on account of thefts.

You will be of Yogic disposition, be intelligent, will keep brothers and relatives happy, be emaciated, very beautiful in appearance, will inherit through maternal relatives, will gather lands and other properties, will keep your promise, will gain through sons, be happy by the prosperity of progeny and will help even enemies and thereby derive satisfaction. You may suffer breakage of teeth by wood or by stone or incur pains in legs and your end may come through poison, weapon, thirst, hunger, enemies or vices.

There will be gain from voyaging, trade, speculation, water products and partnership; on land, from grocery shop, milk and milk products, chemist shop and hotel industry. You could be a commission agent or insurance agent. Avoid litigation, as Moon in the 7th house causes trouble and loss through it. You marry a devoted spouse who is also very healthy.

You enjoy tasty food, are sensual, thin and lean and vanquished by the enemy. The 7th house denotes marriage, partnership and enemies etc. You are handsome, healthy, wealthy and wise, famous, kind, always traveling, itinerant, dominated by spouse and debauch. If exalted or full, this Moon gives a beautiful and charming spouse, and you yourself are wealthy and handsome. If this Moon is in depression, aspected or associated with a malefic, you know no peace or happiness in life. Marriage after age 32 to an unchaste person is indicated. 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.
Moon in Lunar Mansion '2 Bharani-2'

When you want to express your opinion in any matter, you are just not bothered about the sentiment of others. You will not like to get anything for yourself by buttering. Come what may, you are not ready to work against your consciousness whether you are, according to others, right or wrong. Due to this attitude you have to face a lot of resistance and failures. You won't hesitate to spoil the relationship even with near and dear ones on small matters. But when you are convinced of your fault, you will completely forget your enmity and start reciprocating sincerely. Tactful behavior is alien to you. You are far away from a state of obedience. Arrogance quite often leads to miseries. Subordination is equal to death for you. When you have to bow to others, you become pensive. Advice and encouragement have no room in your mind. You will generally be having a good all around education, and you have the capacity to go deep into any matter. You will shine well in public life. You tend to face criticism and loss of wealth. You like to command others and will always be eager to establish supremacy. You cannot march forward without hurdles and will have to face stiff competition, and in the long run will quite often have to face failure. To others, you may appear to be arrogant, but the truth is that you are pure hearted.

Life is full of ups and downs. It is advisable that you do not get involved in unnecessary arguments or competition. You will fight for certain principles, which will ultimately lead to trouble. You are fond of spreading rumors and wasting time by humors. There will not be any good or bad periods for long time. In short you have to face a life of good and bad always.

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.
