Lagna Chart

There are in all 16 charts according to Indian astrology, however only 3 are mostly studied – the ascendant or lagna chart, moon chart and sun chart.

Whether the effect of planets would be favorable or unfavorable depends on the way they are positioned in the houses in the lagna chart.

Western or Placidus system of house division

Horoscopes are divided into 12 divisions known ashouses. These houses are usually divided into 30-degrees because the sun usually spends about 30 days in each house. However, in the western or placidus system the houses are divided in varying degrees as the sun never stays in the house for same period.

 As the earth rotates around its axis, there is day in some parts and night in some, so there are stars rising in east and setting in west. The eastern horizon is calculated as the first house and the western horizon is calculated as the 7^th house. The northern point above the head, also known as the mid heaven, is the 10^th house. In Indian astrology, the rising point, setting point and mid heaven point are always considered as the centre of the house whereas in the western or placidus system they are considered as the starting points of the houses.

Gajkesari Yoga and Chandra Mangal Yoga

The word yoga in Sanskrit means connection. Any yoga in a horoscope depicts conjunction of any two planets which may either be due to their placement in any house or mutual aspect. The conjunction actually alters the qualities of either planet.

But some astrologers believe that this yoga can also be formed when Venus or mercury is present in Kendra from moon.
