Mesha Lagna (Aries Rising)
Comes across as energetic and direct — first impressions are usually confident and fast-moving.
The first house of your chart
Lagna — your Ascendant, explained
Lagna is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at your exact moment of birth. It becomes House 1 of your chart and shapes how you tend to come across to others — different from your Rashi (Moon sign), which shapes how you feel on the inside.
Why Lagna matters
It's the anchor for your whole chart
Every house in your Kundali is counted from your Lagna. It changes roughly every two hours, so even a 15–20 minute error in birth time can shift it to a neighbouring sign — which is why exact birth time matters more than any other input.
