    Lagna and Special Ascendants in Vedic

    Astrology
    Lagna otherwise called as the Ascendant is the rising Sign at the
    time of birth. This is considered as the moment at which the soul
    comes in contact with its new life on the earth. Also called as
    Udaya Lagna, this is considered as the first house of the
    horoscope. Lagna is the indication of the main pupose of a
    persons life and also thegeneral characteristics of the individual.
    If the Lagna and the Lagna lord a re quite strong in the horoscope,
    many useful and powerful Yogas are formed.

    Apart from the main Ascendant there are some other


    ascendants called Vishesha Lagna or the special ones. In case of
    Vishesha Lagnas the Sun is assumed to move at a fixed speed,
    irrespective of the birth place of the native. Here are some of the
    important special ascendants.

    Bhava Lagna
    In this Lagna each Bhava or the house is considered to last for 5
    Ghatikas which is roughly 2 hours. Time elapsed from the Sun rise
    to the birth of the native is recorded in Ghatis and Vighatis ( 60
    Vighatis = 1 Ghati) and then divided by 5. Th quotient is then
    converted into Rashis and Amshas and added to Suns longitude.
    The resultant is the Bhava Lagna.

    Hora Lagna
    Is an important entity especially when calculating and predicting
    the life span of the individual. Here the Sun travels one house at
    the rate of 1 Hora for each house which equals to 2 and 1/2
    Ghatis. Similar to Bhava Lagna the time elapsed after the sun
    rise to the time of birth of the native is taken in Ghatis and
    Vighatis and is divided by 2 1/2 and the quotient is converted to
    Rasi and Amsas which is later added to Suns longitude to arrive
    at Hora Lagna. This Lagna is also important when assessing the
    wealth and property of the native.

    Ghati Lagna
    Ghatis and Vighatis elapsed after the Sun rise till the time of birth
    are noted and then converted into Rasis and Amshas. One Ghati is
    is treated as one Rashi. Vighatis are divided by 2 to arrive at the
    degrees. The resulting number will be then added to the Suns
    longitude at sunrise to derive the Ghati Lagna.

    Arudha-Lagna
    Arudha literally means the mounted one. One can consider this
    equivalent to a mirror image of an object. If the ascendant is an
    object and the mirror is the lord of the Rashi of the Ascendant
    (lord of the Ascendant) then the house or Bhava which is at as
    much distance as the Lord of the Ascendant from the ascendant
    house, in the direction of regular counting is Arudha Lagna. This is
    also called as Arudha Pada, Lagnarudha, Lagna pada or Pada
    lagna.

    Some people opine that Arudha Lagna indicates others


    perception or what others feel about the individual. Some
    astrologers feel that Arudha ascendant is much more than that.

    Upa Pada Lagna


    Arudha of the 12th house (Gauna Bhava) from the Lagna is called
    the Upa Pada ascendant. According to Sage Jaimini when
    counting for odd Rashis the count should be regular while for the
    even Rashis these should be reversed. There are again many
    opinions and arguments related to arriving at the Upa Pada Lagna.
