Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 lagna is the rising sign aka ascendant. it is the point on the easter horizon of the earth when you were born. the eastern horizon’s edge obviously points to a set of stars as well as zodiac sign. this sign and stars (constellation) is the point of the ascendant aka rising sign, lagna. lagna is the Sanskrit term for rising sign aka ascendant. it is the most vital point in your chart because it is how you come into this world. it also represents your body. so when you walk outside the people that come in contact with you is through your rising sign as it represents your body. the ascendant sign has a lord ruler. this is your ascendant lord. the ascendant lord is technically you and where he is placed determines where a lot of you will be. the moon where it is placed determines where your karmas lie. hope this helps you understand your chart a little better. there are plenty of good websites for you to browse through for further enlightenment of yourself. namaskar, __________ Raja G.
