| Planets |
|---|
| Lagna lord | Sun |
| Yogakaraka | Mars |

Marriage and the 7th House
For Leo Ascendant the 7th house of marriage falls in Aquarius, ruled by Saturn. The spouse is often friendly, independent and unconventional – the qualities of Aquarius. The strength of Saturn in the birth chart, and of Venus (for men) or Jupiter (for women), shows how smoothly married life runs. Always compare both horoscopes with Kundli matching before marriage.
Money, Home and Work
| House | Sign | Lord | Governs |
|---|
| 2nd | Virgo | Mercury | Savings, family wealth and speech |
| 4th | Scorpio | Mars | Home, property, vehicles and mother |
| 10th | Taurus | Venus | Career, status and reputation |
| 11th | Gemini | Mercury | Income, gains and friends |
Well-placed lords of the 2nd and 11th houses (Mercury) bring steady earnings, and their dashas are often periods of financial growth for Leo Ascendant. As Yogakaraka, Mars can lift career and fortune strongly during its dasha when it is well placed.
Health
Leo rules the heart, spine and upper back, so these areas need care for Leo Ascendant. The 6th house of illness falls in Capricorn, linked with the knees, joints, bones and teeth.
