What is Lagna?

The Lagna, or ascendant, is the rashi that was rising in the east at your exact birth time. It becomes the first house of your Kundli and sets the frame for the entire chart.

Why it is important

• It decides which sign occupies each of the twelve houses.
• Its ruling planet (Lagna lord) strongly shapes personality and life direction.
• It changes about every two hours, which is why birth time accuracy matters.
