Ascendant Calculator (Lagna)
The rising sign that frames your entire chart
Your ascendant, or Lagna, is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment you were born. It sets the first house of your chart, and every other house is counted from it, which is why so much of a reading depends on getting it right. This tool computes it with Swiss Ephemeris and the Lahiri ayanamsa.
The ascendant changes roughly every two hours, so it is the one placement that genuinely needs an accurate birth time. If your time is unknown, treat the result as a rough guide only.
Enter birth details on the left and your result will appear here. No sign-up needed.
