Your Lagna, or Ascendant, is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. It marks the first house of the birth chart and is one of the most important points in Vedic astrology — it shapes your body, temperament, and overall direction in life, and it anchors how every other planet is read.

Because the Ascendant changes roughly every two hours, an accurate birth time is essential. This calculator shows your Lagna Rashi with its ruling planet (lord), element, quality, and symbol, along with the Panchang at birth.
