Welcome, my dear cosmic warriors. I’m AVOY AMRITO DAS; your resident astrologer, and this is astroavoy.com, a website which dedicated to astrology, esotericism, and all things magic. Today I am going to explain about the first (1st) house of horoscope. Hope you will enjoy my research work.
1ST HOUSE
Maharishi says to Maitreya that, the physique, appearance, intellect (also the brain), the complexion of the body, strength and vigour, weakness, happiness, grief and the inner nature of the person is to be determined from the Lagna or Ascendant or the 1st bhava.
The 1st house, known as the Lagna or Ascendant, always rises in the East at the time of birth. A strong and well placed Lagna lord will bestow long and qualitative life. The 1st house is the fountainhead of the entire life of the native. The 1st indicates the birth of the person and how and in what form and physique God has wanted him/her to be born.
Thus the 1st bhava and the lord of the 1st bhava, who is also called the ‘Lagnesh’ are very basics and important to the reading of the chart. Each of the 12 houses of the chart has its significance and each of the significance is closely linked to the 1st house.
