Lagna
Also known as: Ascendant, Vedic rising sign
Lagna is the Vedic ascendant, the sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth.
Plain-English Meaning
If the Moon shows the mind and timing entry point, Lagna sets the stage. It becomes the 1st house and determines how the rest of the houses are counted.
Why It Matters
A small birth-time error can change Lagna near a sign boundary, which changes house placements and many practical readings.
How myjataka Uses It
myjataka calculates Lagna from birth date, time, place, timezone, Lahiri sidereal positions, and whole sign houses.
