Find your Janma Lagna or Vedic Ascendant from your exact date, birth time and place. This free calculator shows the rising sign, exact Lagna degree, Lagna Nakshatra and Pada, Lagna Lord, Lagnesh placement and how sensitive the result is to a few minutes of birth-time difference.
Lahiri / Chitrapaksha Vedic Ascendant
Lagna, also called the Ascendant, Janma Lagna, Udaya Lagna or rising sign, is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the exact time and place of birth. It becomes the starting point of the birth chart and determines how the twelve houses are arranged.
The Ascendant is one of the fastest-moving points in a horoscope. A new sign rises roughly every two hours, though the exact duration varies by latitude and season. Someone born close to a sign boundary can therefore receive a different Lagna from only a small birth-time correction. The sensitivity panel above checks the result at five and ten minutes before and after the entered time.
To calculate Janma Lagna accurately, the tool needs the local birth date, exact clock time, birth place coordinates and the timezone that applied at birth. This page uses the Lahiri or Chitrapaksha sidereal zodiac, a widely used Vedic astrology reference.
Lagna is based on the eastern horizon, Moon sign is based on the Moon's zodiac position, and Sun sign is based on the Sun. In Vedic chart interpretation the Lagna provides the house framework, while the Moon sign and other planets add their own layers.
জন্মের সঠিক সময় ও জন্মস্থান অনুযায়ী পূর্ব দিগন্তে যে রাশি উঠছিল সেটিই জন্ম লগ্ন। এই calculator-এ Lagna Rashi, exact degree, Lagna Nakshatra, Pada, Lagna Lord এবং birth time কয়েক মিনিট এদিক-ওদিক হলে ফল বদলাচ্ছে কি না দেখা যায়।
Yes. In Vedic astrology Lagna is the sidereal Ascendant, the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth.
A Lagna sign lasts roughly two hours on average, but the exact duration is not fixed and varies by place, date and sign. Near a boundary, a few minutes can matter.
If the time is uncertain, use the sensitivity panel as a warning rather than treating the result as final. A birth-time rectification may be appropriate when important chart factors change within the uncertainty range.
The primary result uses Lahiri / Chitrapaksha ayanamsha for a standard Vedic sidereal Ascendant.
Differences can come from timezone handling, coordinates, ayanamsha, daylight-saving treatment, rounding and calculation settings. Compare the settings before comparing results.
