Lagna · Leo ascendant
Singh Lagna
Leo ascendant, ruled by Surya
With Leo rising, you radiate confidence, warmth, and natural authority. Ruled by the Sun, you have a magnetic presence and love being in the spotlight. Generosity, creativity, and a strong sense of pride define you. Its lord is Surya, its yogakaraka Mangal.

The nature of Singh lagna
Lagna lord Surya
You are charismatic, expressive, and naturally confident with a regal bearing that commands attention. Your generous spirit and strong creative abilities make you well-loved. Pride drives you toward excellence in everything you do.
In Delhi Singh lagna rises for about 2h 16m a day, one of the longest. In 8,349 real births from 1960 to 1999 across four North Indian cities, 9.3% had it, more than one in twelve: signs that rise slowly catch more births.
Your lagna is the rashi rising in the east at your birth; it changes every two hours or so, which is why the birth time matters. Your rashi is the Moon’s sign, a different thing: Singh rashi is read for the mind, Singh lagna for the body and the course of life.
Each graha for Singh lagna
Which houses it rules, and what Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 34 calls it for this lagna
For Singh lagna, BPHS 34 counts Mangal, Surya and Guru as benefics, with Mangal the yogakaraka (the strongest helper a lagna can have), ruling a kendra and a trikona at once, and Budh, Shukra and Shani as malefics.
| Graha | Rules houses | For this lagna (BPHS 34) |
|---|---|---|
| Sun (Surya) | 1st | Benefic |
| Moon (Chandra) | 12th | Maraka— lord of the 12th only, not the 2nd or 7th; the verse names it a killer all the same (34.29–30) |
| Mars (Mangal) | 4th, 9th | Yogakaraka |
| Mercury (Budh) | 2nd, 11th | Malefic— lord of the 2nd, but the killers the verse names for this lagna are Shani and Chandra (34.29–30) |
| Jupiter (Guru) | 5th, 8th | Benefic |
| Venus (Shukra) | 3rd, 10th | Malefic |
| Saturn (Shani) | 6th, 7th | Malefic · Maraka |
| Rahu | none (a node) | By its house |
| Ketu | none (a node) | By its house |
The labels, from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, chapter 34:
- Yogakaraka: the strongest graha a lagna can have: the one Parashara names as bringing yoga, or the one lord of both a kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) and a trikona (1st, 5th, 9th) (34.13)
- Benefic, Malefic, Neutral: works for the lagna; brings its harder matters; neither
- Lagna lord: the lagna’s own graha, where the verse calls it neither good nor hard
- Maraka: a killer Parashara names for the lagna, watched for health and longevity; printed alone, or after another label. It is not always the lord of the 2nd or 7th: where it differs, the line under it gives the verse
- · Yoga: one of two grahas he says give yoga together for this lagna

- Pearl (Moti): Chandra is a maraka for this lagna (BPHS 34), so its stone would strengthen what it brings.
- Blue Sapphire (Neelam): Shani is a malefic and a maraka for this lagna (BPHS 34), so its stone would strengthen what it brings.
