Quote of the day by Parashar: "The Importance of Lagna in a Horoscope"
Rishi Parashar is one of the most famous and greatest sages in ancient Vedic astrology. Rishi Parashar is known for creating the Brihat Parashar Hora shastra, the text of Vedic astrology in which he explained the planets, houses, lagna, dasha, yoga and karma in detail. Today, we will discuss the importance of Lagna according to Rishi Parashara. Let's understand why lagna is important in horoscope and its role:
According to Rishi Parashar, lagna represents your physical body, appearance, your health, vitality, your behaviour, complexion and body type. This means that lagna actually plays an important role in your birth chart. Without lagna, its very difficult to know the native's details. The Sun represents the soul, Moon represents the mind and emotions and Lagna represents your current life's action. One of the most important thing is that your lagna is known as ascendant.
This means that your lagna is the centre of all 12 houses and according to the Kalapurush Kundali if your lagna is Aries then you lagna lord will be Mars and when we see the 10th house from your lagna then it will be Capricorn that represents karma and the lord of 10th house is Saturn. So, we can say that without ascendant there will be no structure of the house.
Your health analysis can be done through lagna and the planet that is ruling your lagna. The diseases are judged from this lagna. If Saturn is sitting in lagna then it will show your nature according to the planet sitting in you lagna. For example if Mars is present there in your lagna then you must be physically strong and hard working.
Your mental strength and weakness is represented by the lagna and the ruling lord. For example - if Moon and Rahu is sitting in the lagna then it may give you depression and anxiety issues. It will make you mentally weak and give you overthinking issues. This will not give you good results.
According to Parashar hora shastra, if Venus and Mercury are sitting in the lagna then it will create Laxmi Narayan yoga and it will definitely give you an amazing results when you will be under Mercury and Venus dasha. If you are under the dasha of some malefic planet but your lagna is strong then you may pass the period.
