After a study of your birth chart, divisional charts, and Dasha bhuktis along with planetary transits, Ganesha has made the following observations:

According to Indian astrology, your moon sign is Leo and your Ascendant is Cancer. Your birth star is Purva Phalguni.

For education, we will consider the 2nd House for primary level education and 4th House for higher education. In your birth chart, Lord of the 5th House, Mars, is posited in 7th House in it's own high level (Ucchha) sign Scorpio, along with Venus and Sun. Definitely, you are an intelligent person and you have an inclination towards learning. But association of Rahu in 5th House and aspect by Ketu from 11th House, should be concerned unfavourable for a perfect state of mind. Most of the times, you might have confusions and may even make wrong decisions. Moon is your Ascendant Lord. Thus, you must be an emotional person.

Ganesha notes that your primary education would be very good. At present, you are going to 10th section. We consider the 4th House for your current education. Lord of the 4th House, Venus is placed under the 7th House along with Sun and Mars. Jupiter, the Lord of the 9th House, is posited under the 4th House. Jupiter is the planet of education. This planetary position in your horoscope is favourable for higher education.

Mars is the high level sign. So, you should choose a technical subject such as – Computers, MBA, Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical etc. for higher education.

You are presently running under the Dasha bhukti of Sun–Rahu throughout the year 2009. Rahu is posited in the 5th House. You may have confusions at the time of exam. Be careful and do not indulge in copying. There is a possibility of some ailment cropping up at the time of exam.

Under the Gochar transit, you are going through the course of Shani–sadesati. Ketu too is transiting in the 12th House of your Moon sign. Both the planets are unfavourable for you.

CONCLUSION :

After a close observation of your horoscope, I would say, you are a talented but success will not come all that easily. You will have to work your fingers to the bone in order to achieve success. There is a chance of failure in exams, watch out.

Here are some remedies to suppress the malefic effects of the planetary positions:

1. Worship Shanti for Ashwini (Mool) according to Vedic method.

2. Worship Ketu by reciting 25,000 Vedic mantras.

3. To solve job(placement) problem, donate a red cloth, masoor dal, copper, coconut, Dakshina (respect money), red fruit, red flowers in "Hanuman Temple".
