Understanding Lagna is the first and most important step in Jyotisha. Even though the Udaya Lagna is the most significant and widely used, other Lagnas must also be judged for increasing the accuracy of judging a Kundali. Besides Udaya, Chandra Lagna is also widely used. But Lagnas such as Bhava, Hora, and Ghati are less popular among the Jyotisha community.
There are also Lagnas such as Arudha, Karaka, and Karakansha Lagna that add a different level of richness to assessment. The principle of Lagna is extended to judging the lives of our relatives. For instance, Pitra Bhava, Pitrikaraka, Chara Pitrikaraka, and Pitra Arudha can be used as Lagnas to judge the life of one’s father.
The principles of Jyotisha are universal; therefore, what is known about a native can be known about the native’s father, mother, brother, and other relatives by choosing the appropriate Lagna. This book delineates the use of the special Lagnas and extends the principles to other relatives.
