THE AUTHENTICITY AND POWER OF LAGNA

Factors in favour of the power of lagna- Almost all the

astrologers believe that lagna counts for two-third
importance while prediction and moon sign stands for
one third. Let us see how lagna is important manifold and
lagnesh more vital than a yogakaraka planet.
1.----------THE REAL MEANING OF LAGNA--
-To understand the real meaning of lagna we shall have
to understand the zodiac first. Basic point is as the first
sign of the zodiac, Aries represents the first stage in the
evolution of man and his place in the universe. This truth
is evident by exalted position of sun in aries, means in
first house of kaalpurusha horoscope. This position of sun
allows the identity of soul to shine and assume power and
confidence with full control of self. So the point is that
ascdt. is considered as pivotal point in a horoscope
according to concept of purusha tattwa or energy centre
representing the vital force of life.
There is nothing possible in this universe with solely
ISHWARAMSA i.e. purusha tattwa or male element. At the
advent of creation of universe, god himself created
everything with male and female elements combined in it.
That means the great lord (ishwar) his shakthi, became
ardhanaarishwar and created the whole srishti. If we go
into antiquity of ardha naarishwara concept, there is
reference in PURANAS, that brahma when asked rudra to
divide himself for creation of srishti the rudra then
divided himself into male and female form. BRIHAD
ARANYAKA Upanishad, states that original purusha [soul]
was bisexual, states that original purusha divided himself
into male and female and the multiplied himself.

-POWER OF MARS AS NATURAL 1
ST
HOUSE LORD- ---Aries
represents the lagna of kaalpurusha and Mars represent
the raw energy necessary for individual survival,
especially the desire and aggressive urges.Libra, on the
other hand, is the sense of relatedness, balance, harmony
and co-operation necessary for the survival and
maintenance of civilization and culture.
Male energy is called purusha naturally denoted by mars
and so the feminine energy represented by prakriti
denoted by venus and hence their mutual interaction is
important regarding marital matters. As 1
st
house
represents the vital force and 7
th
house stands for
dissipation of the same force. If 1
st
house is the physical
being then obviously 7
th
house indicates the physical
involvement with members of the opposite gender for
purpose of procreation.
So mars in any horoscope is most vital in matters of
procreation, marital dealings and overall utilization of
purusha tattwa or the vital force for the uplift of the soul
through various experiences with the world.
3. ROLE OF LAGNA MANIFOLD IN SHAPING ONES DESTINY--
-
When first house is the reservoir of all prana shakthi in
oneself, 7
th
house decides for the field of activity. Literally
speaking quality and strength of beejam represented by
lagna lord in any horoscope means the energy one has by
birth and how the native is destined to make use of that
energy in one way or the other.
The following are important points reflecting effect of
lagna through various signs, houses and dasha scheme.
These parameters told under will always outlet the vital
force of lagna through various sources to make
advancement in life and to enrich the soul and give life
changing experiences.
---- As lagna is both Kendra and a kona house so lagna
lord always acts as yogakaaraka planet and gives very
meaningful developments in natives life.
-------Planet placed in lagna always holds some vital
happening of natives life through the houses of lordship
of that planet residing in lagna.
------the dispositor or lord of that sign where lagnesha is
placed holds the key to a life shaping time period in its
dasha.
-------the nakshatra holding lagna /lagna lord is equally
valuable to give effects of lagna to shape ones destiny.
That nakshatra lords dasha be considered for most
essential developments of life.
------the navamsa lord of lagna (d-9 lagna lord) and
navamsa lord of lagnesh (sign where lagnesh is placed in
d-9) hold value to give vital changes in ones life.
Hence, the quality and strength of lagnesha as per
shadbala, retrogression/direct motion, interaction with
other planets and other planetary connectivity with lagna
in D-1 & D-9, hold key to life shaping experiences to the
native.
