Some of my readers and learners are unable to find the location of the planets in the horoscope.

    1. Please take a consultation appointment for reading your horoscope. You can check my consultation page for more details.

      1. Lagna is the starting point in your horoscope from which your life and its flow are calculated. There are 12 rasis in the zodiac which comprises of 360 degrees and hence each rasi is 30 degrees. All these 12 rasis rise in the east one by one in a whole day of 24 hours. So approximately every rasi rise in the east every 2 hours.

        The rasi which rises in the east at the time of your birth is your Lagna. Read more about Lagna at https://yourastroguide.com/lagna-predictions
