If Sun and Mars are posited in Ascendant, there would be a red spot or mark in the part of the body signified by the sign of Ascendent. Similarly if Rahu and Saturn are posited in Ascendant there would be black spot in that part of the body signified by, the sign of Ascendant. If Jupiter be posited in his own sign in Ascendant, the mode of speaking would be sweet and soft and he would eat sumptuous meals. If Mercury be occupying Ascendant in its own sign, the native would like food of astringent flavour. If Venus be placed similarly together with Moon, the native would have taste for pungent and acidy foods. If similar position be occupied by Rahu and Saturn or Ketu and Saturn, the native would be fond of very pungent things like black pepper. If Ascendant be occupied by Sun and Mars or by Mars and Saturn, the native would be arrogant, proud, of nasty nature and fond of acrid things.
. The native would be long-lived if the lord of Ascendant be a benefic and strong and benefics be placed in Ascendant. He would be short-lived if there be malefics in Ascendant. If Mars and Sun be posited in Ascendant, the native would be greedy. If Ascendant be in a malefic sign (i.e. sign owned by a malefic) and Moon and Jupiter are also associated with malefics, the native would become a victim of diseases of the head.
