Significance of Lagna in Horoscopes

Every one of us is inquisitive to know the surprises the future holds. Astrology is considered one way to predict our future through the planetary positions in our birth chart. People living in different parts of India have different ways of charting the horoscope or Kundli. 

As per Vedic astrology, predictions are based on twenty-seven stars and nine planets.  There are many aspects in a horoscope, but the most important among them is lagna. 

What Is Lagna in Astrology?

Lagna, or the ascendant, is the sign that appears on the eastern horizon at the time of birth of a person. Also called the janma lagna, this is the first house in your horoscope, and the position of the remaining planets is calculated starting from this.     

Lagna signifies the self and gives insights into your behaviour, education, relationships, finances, etc. It is calculated based on your date, time, and place of birth. Lagna changes every two hours, so time is an important factor for predicting it. 

What Is the Lagna Chart?

The lagna chart or rasi chart is your birth chart. It shows the position of the ascendant and the planets in various signs. This is essential for predicting the future. 

What Is Lagna Lord in Astrology?

The lord of the first house is the lagna lord or the ruler of your horoscope. Every planet has a lord governing it, but the lagna lord governs the entire horoscope.

Some of the types of lagna are Arudha lagna, Indu lagna and Chandra lagna.

What is Arudha Lagna in Vedic Astrology?
