Lagna is a Sanskrit word that refers to the zodiacal sign rising on the eastern horizon at a specific time and location. In a birth chart, the Lagna refers to the ascending sign at the time of birth of an individual at a particular place. Lagna literally means connection, referring to the beginning of an individual’s life.
In astrology, it is believed that the ascendant signifies the awakening consciousness in an individual, just like the Sun rises on the eastern horizon, signifying dawn. The ascendant indicates how an individual presents himself/herself to the world. It sometimes masks the real nature of an individual and sometimes acts as an interface between several levels of the personality and the external reality.
The ascendant can have a strong influence on a person’s bearing and health. In Jyotish or Hindu Astrology, the ascendant is the most defining element in the birth chart. The ascendant indicates the celestial position of the environment in which an individual is born. The Lagna is the foundation of a horoscope. It signifies the conditions an individual faces after birth.
The rising sign on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth is called Janma Lagna. Your ascendant or Lagna represents the zodiac sign, which rises on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. There are 12 houses in a horoscope. The first House is called the Lagna or ascendant.
