Meaning
and description of Ascendant or Rising
sign or Lagna | Impacts of ascendant
Indian astrology is a
profound ocean where human lives are predicted
and forecasted through the study of variant
aspects which holds many deep roots as few
subjects won’t be able to produce precise
predictions. Study of Ascendants is one of the
aspects from the bottom of Vedic astrology which
plays a significant role in portraying human
lives.
The
Ascendant or rising sign or Lagna is the
zodiacal sign which is ascending on the eastern
horizon at the time of the birth of the native.
This is the first house of the horoscope. For
example, if the Libra is rising at the times of
birth of native, the native will be of Libra
ascendant and in the horoscope of the person,
the first house will have Libra zodiac. The
ruler of the Libra zodiac Venus or Shukra will
be the lord of ascendant. The personality,
physical appearance and thinking pattern of the
native will be much impacted by the Venus in
this case.
Ascendant is the most important house in one's
horoscope. In a horoscope, it represents the
native while the other 11 houses represents
different aspects (like money, luck, education,
children etc.) of the native .Since it
represents the person himself, it becomes
increasingly important to have a good and
successful life. To have a successful life, the
ascendant of the person must be in a strong
state. A strong Lagn makes the benefic
astrological yogas (raj yogas and dhan yogas)
made by other planets more powerful while the
weak ascendant reduces the strength of the yogas.
A strong Lagna itself can make many benefic
yogas.
Rising sign is the true
expression of one’s outer personality, physical
attributes and appearance. It strongly impacts
the physical strength, vitality, health and age
of the person. If this is very weak and no other
balancing impact is there then the person may
become short-lived and may be having many
diseases. The general success of the life-time
of native is much influenced by it. A strong
ascendant may assure a pleasant life full of
joy, affluence, happiness, success, respect and
good health.
The
factors which contributes to calculate the
strength of ascendants are as follows:
-
Placement of ascendant lord
-
Dignity of Rising sign ' s lord( Exalted,
debilitated, own house etc.)
-
Placement of other planets in ascendant
-
Aspects of other planets to the Lagna
-
Position of the natural karaka of the Rising
sign (Sun in all cases)
Placement of the rising signs lord plays an important
role in deciding the strength of Ascendant. If
the lord is placed in kendras(1st house, 4th
house, 7th house, 10th house) or trikonas(5th
and 9th house) then this would provide the very
good strength to it. If the lord is placed
in 6th, 8th or 12th house, this is a bad
position and will make it weak. The dignity
of rising signs lord is also an important factor.
If the lord of lagn is exalted, in mool-trikona,
placed in own house or sign, or placed in
friendly sign, this would provide very good
results in decreasing order. But if the lord of
rising sign is placed in enemy
sign or it is debilitated then the strength of
ascendants will be weak.
Placement of natural benefic planets (Moon,
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus) and yoga- karaka
planets for that Lagna creates good impact on it while the placement of natural malefic
planets( Saturn, rahu, ketu etc..) creates bad
impacts on it. In case of aspect or drishti from other planets to
it, same
rules are applicable as of in case of placement.
Natural karaka of all natives is Sun so it's
strength and good placement is also important
for having a good state of ascendant.
Rising sign is the only
aspects that makes people of same zodiac or sun
sign or moon sign stand apart for being
different besides this, it could also be
perceived as the lurked aspects of natives. It is the only subject that could
articulate the difference even between the twins
as it changes after every 2 hours. So if the
twins are born in this period of transition,
then 2 minutes difference between two twins
would make their rising sign different from each
other and results will also be changes
accordingly.
Indian astrology prescribes the study of three
important birth charts of 16 which are there for
a native-Lagna chart, moon chart and Sun chart.
The first one is prepared while taking lagn as
a first house. Moon chart is prepared while
considering moon's position in the chart as
lagn. Similarly, Sun chart is prepared while
taking sun's position as Lagna. Out of these
three, analysis of Lagna chart is the most
important for making accurate predictions.
Apart from this,
rising signs are also get affected with the
placement of Lord of rising sign as the native
will also attain impacts from the zodiac in
which the ruling planet of it is placed. This
further explains that it is very rarely possible
that a person would be completely of only one
sign as in general planetary placements, the
native would acquire attributes of at least two
or more signs but the Rising sign is believed to form the core of the native. For
instance, a Leo could have some influence of
Libra and a Capricorn could have some influence
of Pisces.
