Why Lagna Matters in Chart Reading

Chart Structure

Once Lagna is known, the twelve houses can be arranged correctly for further interpretation.

How is Lagna Calculated?

The calculation depends on the Earth's rotation, your birth time, and your birth location. The sign rising in the East at that moment becomes your Lagna. This tool uses Lahiri Ayanamsha and location-based inputs to calculate the rising sign and its degree.
