  • The zodiac sign which was rising at time of birth becomes the ascendant and also called Ascendant or Lagna Rashi.
  • 360 degree /12 (rashis) = 30 degree of each rashi

Basics of the Horoscope (Kundli)

  • The Ascendant (Lagna): At the time of birth, the zodiac sign (rashi) rising on the eastern horizon becomes the Ascendant or Lagna. This is the starting point of any horoscope chart.
  • Movement: Earth is rotating, and the zodiac signs are static in the sky. As the Earth rotates, roughly every two hours, a new zodiac sign rises in the east.
  • Degree of Ascendant: Every zodiac sign covers 30 degrees, so the Ascendant also has a specific degree depending on the exact time of birth.
  • Chandra Rashi (Moon Sign): The zodiac sign where the Moon is placed at the time of birth is called the Moon sign. Since the Moon moves slower (around 2.25 days in one sign), many children born around the same days can share the same Moon sign.

In the Kundli (horoscope chart):

  • House numbers (1 to 12) are fixed.
  • Zodiac signs (numbers from 1 to 12) rotate depending on birth time.
