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

Body

The native has a broad face and a fair complexion, with a raised nose and large ears. The neck is long. The eyes are attractive and round, and all the teeth are even and uniform in shape.

Temperament

The jataka (the native, the person whose chart this is) is plain and unassuming, yet a man of noble and clear-minded views. He is just, devoted to truth, hardworking, generous, and intelligent, and by virtue of his intelligence and good qualities he rises quickly in life. He champions the wise, though at times he resorts to sarcasm.

Life

He leads an unostentatious and peaceful life, free of show, and is kind to those who serve under him. The native becomes renowned within his own family line, and he keeps up associations with people in high office.

Ailments

The native is liable to rheumatic complaints (gathiya), high blood pressure, and disorders of the blood. He should therefore avoid overexertion and should take regular exercise and the like.

House Lords (Bhavesha)

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

• Surya (the Sun) is bhagyesha, lord of the 9th, the house of fortune
• Chandra (the Moon) is ashtamesha, lord of the 8th
• Mangal (Mars) is panchamesha, lord of the 5th, and dvadashesha, lord of the 12th
• Budha (Mercury) is saptamesha, lord of the 7th, and dashamesha, lord of the 10th
• Guru (Jupiter) is lagnesha, lord of the lagna (the 1st) itself, and chaturthesha, lord of the 4th
• Shukra (Venus) is shashthesha, lord of the 6th, and ekadashesha, lord of the 11th
• Shani (Saturn) is dvitiyesha, lord of the 2nd, and tritiyesha, lord of the 3rd

For these natives, Surya, Mangal, and Guru give auspicious results. Shani is inauspicious in its effects. The remaining grahas give ordinary results. Chandra does not incur the dosha (blemish) of being the lord of the 8th.
