Lagna

In Vedic Astrology Jyotiṣa, the Lagna (लग्न) or Hour Marker, is the first moment of contact between the soul and its new life on earth in Jyotiṣa.[1] Lagna's Rashi and Nakshatra represents the "Atman" (Soul) of an Individual Person while the Lagna Lord represents the Ruler of the Horoscope and therefore the Rashi & Nakshatra where the Lagna Lord is positioned is equally very important as the Lagna Lord also absorbs the traits and qualities of that specific Rashi & Nakshatra.
