Lagna here means the ascendant, the sign rising at birth. For Vrishchik (Scorpio) rising, the readings are as follows.

Body

The jataka (the native, the person whose birth chart this is) has a handsome physique, with well-rounded thighs and legs. The eyes are large and beautiful, the forehead broad, and the hair curly.

Nature

He is alert and valorous by temperament, and a blunt, plain-spoken man. He is master of a quick, fiery temper. Anyone who opposes him he treats as an enemy. This native is forever ready for a quarrel and will not rest until he has taken his revenge. He will fall out even with relatives and friends. Yet whomever he loves, he helps in every possible way.

Life

Through his own hard work the native rises to high positions, though his manner remains brusque and hot-blooded.

Ailments

The native is prone to disorders of the throat, the liver, and the excretory and urinary organs. He should attend to the cleanliness and care of these parts, and should not take intoxicants.

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

For natives of this lagna, Surya, Chandra, Mangal, and Guru are shubha-phala-dayaka, givers of auspicious results, the benefics, while Budha, Shukra, and Shani are anishtakari, producers of inauspicious results.
