Ascendant (Lagna) calculator

Enter your birth details to find your ascendant: the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, with its degree, lord and nakshatra.

What the ascendant shows

The Lagna is the first house of the birth chart. It describes the body, temperament and the way a person meets the world, and every other house is counted from it. Its lord, the Lagnesh, is one of the most important grahas in the chart.

Accuracy

The ascendant changes sign about every two hours and moves about a degree every four minutes, so the birth time should be as exact as possible. The calculation uses local sidereal time and the chosen ayanamsa, the same as the full Kundli.
