ASCENDANT/ASCENDING SIGN/LAGNA

The ascendant or lagna is that point in the zodiac which rises at the time of birth of a person with reference to the place of birth. The position of planets in the zodiac is noted with reference to the earth.

The ascendant is the first house in a horoscope and the rest of the houses are reckoned from it. The ascendant is an important part of the horoscope and it helps in identifying the functional nature of planets. It also helps in analyzing the transit impact of planets.

IMPORTANCE OF ASCENDANT/ASCENDING SIGN / LAGNA

The functional nature of the planets in a birth chart is identified through the ascendant. The functional nature helps in identifying the strength of planets as well as those planets which cause unfavorable influences in the birth chart. The ascendant helps us in identifying the strong aspects of life and the aspect of life under stress including health. The astrological remedial measures for various life problems are recommended on the basis of the functional nature of the planets.

The lord of the mooltrikona sign placed in a particular house is called the lord of the house. The counting of houses is done in an anti-clockwise direction. For example, in the following chart the sign of Gemini rises in the ascendant:
