Lagna here means the ascendant, the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. Kumbha is the rashi (zodiac sign) Aquarius. For Kumbha (Aquarius) rising, the readings are as follows.

Body

The native, the jataka (the person whose birth chart this is), is attractive and well-formed. The lips are long and slender, and the cheeks are handsome.

Temperament

The native is modest, compassionate, and imaginative in disposition, and given to helping others. They try to understand the feelings of those around them. They hold both an interest in and a devotion toward God, dharma (religious and moral duty), and knowledge, and wish to keep away from sin and wrongdoing. At times, however, the native turns amorous, of a desire-driven (kāmī) nature.

Life

The native is illustrious and wins renown (yashasvī). They keep the friendship of people of high and elevated rank, and their honour and standing remain excellent. Yet toward the end of life, for some reason, they meet with disrepute or loss.

Ailments

The native's health is often weak. There is a likelihood of suffering from disorders of the blood and of the eyes. For this reason they should take plain food and clean, fresh air, and the use of blood-purifying medicines will serve them well.

House Lords (Bhāvesh)

For this lagna, the ascendant, the lordship of each bhava (house, a domain of life) falls as follows:

• Surya (the Sun) is saptamesh, lord of the 7th
• Chandra (the Moon) is shashthesh, lord of the 6th
• Mangal (Mars) is tritiyesh, lord of the 3rd, and dashamesh, lord of the 10th
• Budha (Mercury) is panchamesh, lord of the 5th, and ashtamesh, lord of the 8th
• Guru (Jupiter) is dwitiyesh, lord of the 2nd, and ekadashesh, lord of the 11th
• Shukra (Venus) is chaturthesh, lord of the 4th, and bhagyesh, lord of the 9th, the house of fortune
• Shani (Saturn) is lagnesh, lord of the lagna (the 1st) itself, and dwadashesh, lord of the 12th

For natives of this lagna, Shukra (Venus) is the rajayoga-karaka, the planet whose ownership of both a quadrant and a trine makes it able to produce Raja yoga, the combination that confers power and high standing. Budha (Mercury) and Shani (Saturn) give auspicious, beneficial results. Guru (Jupiter), Chandra (the Moon), and Mangal (Mars) prove inauspicious, though Jupiter, by virtue of its placement, bears a special connection to the native's wealth. The Sun's effect is ordinary, yet it does not incur the blemish of being a markesh (the lord of a maraka, or death-dealing, house).
