Rising Sign Features, Vedic Lagna Characteristics

Rising sign features describe Vedic ascendant and Lagna characteristics of the different rising signs. Ascendant forms when a Zodiac gets exposure or focus of the Sun, while it rises. This happens due to the diurnal motion of Earth from east to west. In the case of ascendant astrology, we consider this specific time as the time of birth of a baby. In Vedic astrology, the ascendant sign is considered a sign of power or authority. Vedic rising horoscope is also known as ascendant or Vedic Lagna and is considered the first house of a birth chart, which describes our body. Whereas, Moon denotes mind or thought and the Sun sign stands for action respectively. Ascendant signs are also of twelve types like all other Zodiac signs. Zodiac signs are of twelve types in Vedic astrology and western astrology as well. Like Sun signs and Moon signs, ascendant signs are also named Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Ascendant sign is called as lagna in Vedic astrology.

Vedic Ascendant + 23° = Western Ascendant

Ascendant sign analysis: As we know that Earth, during its diurnal motion orbits on its own axis in 24 hours. Moreover, during this movement, some parts of Earth, gets the focus of the Sun and some parts remain dark due to the difference in position. This happens on account of the shape of the Earth continuously causing day and night in different zones of the Earth within. We are aware of the zodiacal distribution according to celestial latitude and longitude; similarly, if we divide the total geographical area of Earth, i.e., 360 degrees into twelve (12) equal zones of 30 degrees, we will find that each 30 degrees area of Earth gets an exposure of the Sun round the clock and stays for a span of approximately two (2) hours. Thus, we have universal standard time for Sun rise is 05.30 (local time) in the morning at any place on Earth. Therefore, Earth takes approximately two (2) hours to move from one zodiac sign to another to cause Sunrise over there. We need to know that the ascendant sign shifts from one zodiacal sign to another at the interval of every two (2) hours continuously.

Why rising sign features are important in a horoscope?

Rising sign changes after every two hours, which is unique and faster than any other Zodiac sign. According to astrology, Sun changes the house of a Zodiac after 30 days, whereas Moon sign changes after 2.25 days, but the ascendant sign shifts from one zodiac sign to another at the interval of every two (2) hours. Thus, the ascendant sign is the most powerful (as the ascendant sign represents our body) and the fastest Zodiac sign, amongst all zodiacal signs in a horoscope.
