Frequently asked questions
What is the Lagna (Ascendant)?
The lagna is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth moment. It sets your 12 houses and is the single most important anchor of a Vedic chart.
Why does birth time matter so much?
The lagna changes roughly every two hours, so an accurate birth time is essential — even a small error can shift your rising sign and rearrange every house.
Which ayanamsa is used?
Sidereal (Vedic) calculations from real astronomical positions — the standard used by most Indian astrologers.
