The Special Lagnas: A Journey into the World of Vedic Astrology

Understanding Lagna is the first and most important step in Jyoti¿a. 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 Ku¿¿ali. Besides Udaya, Candra Lagna is also widely used. But Lagnas such as Bhava, Hora and Gha¿i are less popular among the Jyoti¿a community.

There are also Lagna such as Aru¿ha, Karaka and Karakañsa 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, Pit¿ Bhava, Pit¿karaka, Cara Pit¿karaka and Pit¿ Aru¿ha can be used as Lagnas to judge the life of one's father.

The principles of Jyoti¿a 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.
