Introduction to Vedic Astrology

The 10th house is Capricorn for Aries ascendants. Thus, the house of career is ruled by the sign of hard work, so aries rising people can be very hard workers in their careers. When motivated, you can count on an Aries lagna person to have a natural affinity for hard work. Because Capricorn as a sign likes being appreciated and recognized, and is not at all humble. People having Aries Lagna are likely to be recognized for their work.

 
The 11th house the house of gains, contains Aquarius which is a Saturn ruled air sign telling us that Aries rising people have ideals and desires governed either by darkness or ancient solid truths, depending on the disposition of Saturn in their chart. This sign of Aquarius can be very high and spiritual, or very low and mundane.The 11th house in one’s chart indicates one’s dreams, aspirations and capacity for happiness through fulfillment of desires. It indicates gains through one’s present birth Karmas. It is also known as the ‘The House of Good Fortune’.
The 11th House also signifies – friendships, older siblings, recovery from illness, elevation of husband, longevity of mother, spiritual accomplishments, financial stability, recognition, fructification of one’s efforts, social affairs, place one occupies in a group



 
Lastly the 12th house, house of detachment, Moksha, for the Aries ascendent is owned by the sign of Pisces. Pisces is a watery sign representing either liberation or the return to this world. Because the 12th house rules such things such as loss of all types, then there is a dissolving nature placed upon this house of loss for Aries rising people, so depending on the placement of the Lord of Pisces or Jupiter, either their losses dissolve away, or dissolve the person.The twelfth house is also the house of solitude and confinement and both of these experiences support the work of the twelfth house. Twelfth house planets are energies turned inward; they allow us to integrate knowledge and work through our shadow. Often people who spend time in prisons, ashrams, or voluntarily choose isolation have strong 12th house placements. A strong un influenced Ketu in 12th house in one of the indicator for life like a Sanyasi and ultimately Moksha from the worldly life.
 
Well, Lagna always remains a Lagna and its properties and characteristics remains same. However depending upon on the sign which becomes the lagna, it gets influenced by the characteristics of the planet which owns the sign and hence tends to give results as per same. Like we saw Mars's Characteristics were influential in Aries Lagna. But that doesn't mean that the results will be same for Scorpio Lagna as well since that sign is also owned by Mars. The analysis of a horoscope thus become complex as the astrologer has to think and take care of all the available possibilities like the tatwas of Bhava,Rasi and the Graha related with it compile all the three characteristics into one which is a difficult proposition. Here the astrologer needs to apply a sharp mind and find out appropriate results comparing other aspects as well.

For a Taurus ascendant, other than the tatwas of Lagna, the tatwas of Sign Taurus and that of Venus, the lord also needs to be applied to reach in to a conclusion.
let us see some characteristics of Vrishabha Rasi:-
Virtues, Values, Weight and Worth - Natural Resources, Moveable Stored Wealth, Chests of Treasure
Fleshly Senses and their Pleasures - Food, Wines, Sweets, Scent, Sight, Sound, Taste, Touch, Tongue,pleasures of the mouth, voice
[FONT=&quot]"Vrishabha's complexion is white and it is owned by Venus.

Other characteristics of Vrishabha lagna are:

  • It is long and is a quadruped Rashi.
  • It has strength in night and resides in the South.
  • It represents villages and businessmen.
  • It is an earthy rashi and is prishtodaya (rises by tail)



  • With these characteristics, we may simply assume that the person born in taurus Lagna will have his/her characteristics will be like he will have a plump body,broad forehead thick neck and bright eyes, solidly built body will be conservative and wont waste his energy, will have great interest in art and dance would like good food, possess immense wealth and spend little, This natives are identified with treasuries of beauty and wealth and by and large possess multifarious knowledge as well.
    Barring damage to dhana-bhava or to the dhana-pati, most natives of Vrishabha become wealthy and knowledgeable, over time.
    One may be socially most comfortable in the gracious, sensual environments of materially elegant, enriched, luxurious cultures.
    Vrishabha natives are typically very acquisitive, with an advanced sensitivity to food, drink, sound, shape, and scent. A highly developed Shukra may become an extraordinary agent of visual beauty and healing sound.
    For Vrishabha lagna, the character, placement, drishti re: gracious, acquisitive lord of lagna Shukra will determine the conditions of social satisfaction.

    accumulated treasuries of financial well-being and knowledge via the undertakings of Budha - lord of 2nd from Vrishabha.

    It is also pertinent to mention here that Venus is the most important planet to watch for people in the field of art, dance acting modelling etc. If by chance Venus is associated with Jupiter it will give extra ordinary benefits and will be like a "sone pe suhaga" type of affair. One of the member of this forum is having this type of combination in the horoscope, and I have been given to understand that this person is having most of the above mentioned characteristics fulfilled. However that person is of Libra ascendant and that combination appears in the Lagna of that horoscope. We will discuss more about it when we discuss about Libra ascendant.

Thus most suitable profession which suits them could be writers, reporters, researchers, journalist, teacher, professors. etc., i.e. profession linked with communication. Being perfect in communication, other professions which involve contact and communication such as public relations, selling and media are also advisable to them. Some good politicians and artists including actors have been noticed having Gemini Sign.Gemini is governed by Planet Mercury. This also represents their nature- they cannot be pinned down easily. They are clever and can outsmart most of the people around them. This is also true that Gemines generally do not like to complain.

Now the characteristics of Libra Ascendants.

Libra or Tula is the seventh sign of the Zodiac. It is indicated by a pair of Scales. The symbol of Libra is indicated by the setting Sun halfway below the horizon. This is because Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac and its natural placement is in the west hence the setting Sun.

It characteristics are yearning for harmony, pleasure and partnership and the consciousness of balance. It symbolizes relationship with others, their goals and characteristics and our picture for others.
 
Libra people have natural charm, they are excellent and thoughtful hosts.Their homes reflect their love of harmony and are comfortable and attractive.Since they enjoy people so much, Librans have a difficult time being alone.Because of this, they need to share their life with someone. Unfortunately,they have a tendency to be "in love with love," because of theirromantic and sentimental natures. Thus, they could easily rush into marriage withoutforethought and end up in a difficult relationship. They find it almostimpossible to remain emotionally stable if there is discord around them. Thisleads to their wanting peace at any price, which allows others to takeadvantage of them. Indecisiveness is certainly one of the hardest problems forLibrans to overcome. If they wait too long to make a decision, they may missmany excellent opportunities. Librans must guard against allowing others tosway them to their opinions. They are quite creative, which is reflected intheir home and in their manner of dressing. They always try to look their bestat all times. They are highly mental. This mental agility is usually not seenby others because of their easygoing, friendly appearance. They like to takecharge in their own way. They may move with caution, but they steadily movetowards their goal. When Librans want something, they know how to use subtletechniques to get it. Their intuition, diplomacy, and pleasing personality arevaluable assets. Although they are even-tempered and calm, if they are pushedtoo far, they will surprise you with their sudden temper. They find it hard toaccept that some people may not like them.
