Physical Appearance

The jataka (the native, the person whose chart this is) has a long neck, large round eyes, and a keen, piercing gaze. The hair is curly and abundant. The body is generally lean and thin, of medium height, and carries a reddish, ruddy tinge to the complexion. Somewhere on the body there is the mark of an old wound or scar. The knees are weak.

Temperament

He is courageous, hardworking, and valorous, gifted in intellect, a lover of independence, and generous, though carrying a somewhat proud, self-regarding streak. Once he sets out to help someone, he helps wholeheartedly, with everything he has.

Life

The native is a lover of travel, and is ambitious for a high post in service or employment.

Ailments

Such a native is often prone to disorders of the head and brain, and therefore needs complete rest and sound sleep. He should guard against over-excitement and agitation. Light, ordinary exercise and the intake of fresh, clean air are beneficial for him.

House Lordships (Bhava Lords)

For this lagna, the ascendant, the sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth, the lordship of each bhava (house, a domain of life) falls as follows:

• Surya (the Sun), lord of the 5th
• Chandra (the Moon), lord of the 4th
• Mangal (Mars), lord of the lagna (1st) and of the 8th
• Budha (Mercury), lord of the 3rd and the 6th
• Guru (Jupiter), lord of the 9th (the house of fortune) and the 12th
• Shukra (Venus), lord of the 2nd and the 7th
• Shani (Saturn), lord of the 10th and the 11th

Among these, the Sun, the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter are especially auspicious. Venus is the markesh (lord of a maraka, a death-inflicting house), yet it does not actually prove fatal. Mercury, Venus, and Saturn give cruel, malefic results.
