The Ascendant Lord / Lagnesh

The house (bhava) that has the Ascendant Lord (Lagnesh) becomes what I call the “spotlight area” of ones life. It highlights the arenas of life that will be in the forefront during the native’s lifetime. Things or activities that the native is destined to pay attention to and accomplish during this life. Ignoring the same could make life feel difficult and out of sync. Of course, the other influences on the house / langesh, condition of the lagnesh’s etc. also need to be taken into consideration to determine the extent of the results.

e.g. A strong Lagnesh in the 3rd house indicates some sort of artistic or athletic talent will form a major part of the native’s day to day life.

Before you read any further you should read what I mean by “Anukul Stithi” and “Pratikul Stithi”.

Ascendant in the 1st
