Lagna
Glossary · Last updated: 2026-07-26
Lagna is the sidereal sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at your birth moment. It changes about every two hours at a given location.
Without birth time and city, we cannot estimate Lagna responsibly. Our rising calculator and reader leave it blank rather than guess.
Western vs Vedic rising
We label Lagna with Western sign names for readability, but the calculation is sidereal (Lahiri), matching the Vedic card.
