The first house in Astrology is known as ascendant or lagna also and is considered as the pillar of the Horoscope.
The sign rising in 1st house is known as rising ascendant and the lord of the 1st house is known as ascendant lord or lagnesh.
1st house is both a Kendra and a Trikone house hence it tends to becomes a natural Yogakaraka in all the horoscope.
All ancient commentaries have given special attention to the ascendant and its lord and in many Rajyoga there is a condition of unafflicted 1st house.
When you make a analysis of a Horoscope then the first step is to evaluate the ascendant and its lord.
Astrology is all about making predictions in our life.
So a careful assessment is required on it because if you judge the 1st house wrong then you won't be able to judge other house properly.
1st house and its lord decides how a person will look, his character, mental tendencies and status of Health.
As per Satyacharya complexion, physical condition like height body weight, thinking, fame and fall is based on the strength of the 1st house and its lord.
Without careful assessment of the ascendant and its lord we can't make a proper analysis of the horoscope.
Suppose we need to know if native can be a sports man and he have all the vital combinations to gain success in field of sports.
But if his ascendant is weak then he won't be able to have a good health, stamina and right phase of mind to excel in sports.
Same way in many other areas of life where role of the 1st house and its lord is important.
In this article I am going to explain all aspects of the 1st house and how to make a correct assessment of it.
Essential Theory On 1st House/Ascendant
A horoscope can be drawn many ways from square shape in South Indian to Diamond shape in North India.
360 degrees when divided by 12 signs of Astrology gives us exactly 30 degrees hence each house in Astrology is exactly 30 degrees.
The first 30 degrees of a Horoscope belongs to sign Aries in natural zodiac scheme.
Though depending on your birth hour your 1st house may have any sign in it.
For example on 11-11-1988 at 15:30 hrs Delhi the horoscope is showing no.12 in 1st house.
Natal chart showing Pisces ascendant
Then it means native have Pisces sign in 1st house which means his ascendant will be Pisces.
The ruling sign over the 1st house changes every two hours because there are 24 hrs and 12 zodiac in Astrology.
Now you can further divide the 1st house to derive any division chart.
All the division charts are casted from the rising ascendant and its degrees.
Suppose you have to cast a Navamsha on 15-12-1986 at 10:00 hrs at Delhi then degrees of ascendant is 12 degrees and 02 minutes.
Now using the table given below Navamsha can be found out.
Similarly you can use different tables for different division chart.
All the information above shows how important is 1st house in Astrology.
While casting a Horoscope, you are actually casting the 1st house only rest of the calculations follows automatically and other zodiac signs fits naturally in the circle of 360 degrees.
In Astrology the basic formula to assess any house is judgement of the house itself, its lord, its occupant and Karaka which is planet Sun.
Effects of Different Signs in 1st house or Ascendant
Based on what sign is rising in the 1st house, the Ascendant gets decided which further decides the role of planets and accordingly results of the dasha is predicted.
Thus the rising sign in 1st house hold a very important place and is the first step to judge a Horoscope.
Each of these signs when rising in 1st house decides a major role in mental, physical and personality traits of the native.
Then depending on aspect, conjunction and strength these significations of the 1st house gets modified.
Suppose a native Aries sign rising in 1st house, then the person will be called as Aries ascendant native.
If he have Mars in 1st house then the it means ascendant lord is placed in 1st house itself.
Based on this information we can make out that native will be having full features of Aries ascendant.
But most likely there will be aspects on 1st house and Mars in both natal and navamsha and that will change things further.
Suppose here Jupiter is given aspects to 1st house then features of Aries ascendant will be more advanced and native will be truthful, loyal, law abiding and can be a judge or a minister depending on condition of the 10th house and its lord.
If a malefic like Ketu is aspecting this Mars in Aries sign in 1st house then native can be violent, injury prone and may work with chemicals as source of income or can be a doctor also depending on other factors of the 10th house.
