What is Lagna?
Lagna is your rising sign in Vedic astrology. It's the zodiac sign that was coming up on the eastern horizon at the exact time and place you were born.
Think of it like this: if you were born at sunrise, your Lagna would be the same as your Sun sign. Born at sunset? Your Lagna shifts to the opposite sign.
The Lagna changes roughly every 2 hours as Earth rotates. This makes it super specific to your birth time—unlike the Sun sign which stays the same for a whole month.
Why Lagna Matters
Lagna forms the foundation of your entire birth chart. Here's why astrologers care:
First House
Your Lagna determines your 1st house, which shapes personality and physical appearance. A Gemini Lagna person can have a completely different life path than someone with Leo Lagna—even if they have the same Sun sign.
House System
It sets up all 12 houses in your chart. Once you know your Lagna, you can map where each planet sits in your life—career, relationships, health, finances.
Predictions
Most Vedic predictions start from the Lagna, not the Sun sign. Your astrologer will look at transits and dashas relative to your Lagna first.
Timing Events
Dasha and transit effects depend heavily on Lagna placement. The same Saturn transit hits differently for Aries Lagna vs. Libra Lagna.
How to Use This Tool
Finding your Lagna:
- 1.Select your birth city (or closest major city)
- 2.Enter your birth date
- 3.Note the time shown—find which Lagna was active at your exact birth time
- 4.That's your Lagna (rising sign)
Note: The current Lagna shown at the top changes every ~2 hours. You'll see all 12 zodiac signs cycle through in a 24-hour period.
For accurate results, you need your exact birth time (within 10-15 minutes). Without it, Lagna calculations won't be precise.

Common Questions
What's the difference between Lagna and Sun sign?
Sun sign changes monthly. Lagna changes every 2 hours and depends on your exact birth time and location. Lagna is more important in Vedic astrology.
Do I need exact birth time for Lagna?
Yes. Lagna shifts roughly every 2 hours, so even 30 minutes off can give wrong results. If you don't know your exact birth time, Lagna calculations won't be accurate.
Can my Lagna and Sun sign be the same?
Yes, if you were born around sunrise. The Sun rises in its own sign on those days. But this only happens once a month for each sign.
Which is more important—Lagna or Moon sign?
Both matter. Lagna shows your outward personality and life path. Moon sign shows your inner emotions and mind. Most astrologers look at both.
Does Lagna affect my horoscope predictions?
Absolutely. Most Vedic astrologers run predictions from your Lagna, not Sun sign. Transit effects, dasha periods, and planetary placements all relate back to your Lagna.
