Lagnesh in Jyotish
Lagnesh is the planet that rules the lagna (1st house). In Aries and Scorpio, the ligne is Mars; in Ta**us and Libra, Venus; in Gemini and Virgo, Mercury; in Cancer, the Moon; in Leo, the Sun; in Sagittarius and Pisces, Jupiter; in Capricorn and Aquarius, Saturn.
Lagnesh in Jyotish: Meaning
The lagnesh is also called the lord of the horoscope. Lagna is, as is sometimes said, "a horoscope in miniature." Lagna contains the most important information about a person, his capabilities, and prospects. Accordingly, the lord of the lagna becomes one of the most important planets for the native.
In general, it is extremely difficult to talk about the significance of a particular planet: it is difficult to single out what is more important in the birth chart - the owner of the lagna, the planets in the lagna, or something else (just as it is difficult to say what is more necessary for the body to work - the brain or the heart, nervous or circulatory system).
But at the same time, of course, the lagnesh plays a special role in the interpretation of the horoscope, according to its strength and position, preliminary conclusions can be drawn in many matters.
A strong and well-placed lagnesh supports the entire horoscope, including its weak houses.
A weak and poorly placed lagnesh, on the contrary, weakens the entire horoscope, making it difficult to realize even those projects and plans that (thanks to strong houses) look promising.
Intermediate options (a strong, but poorly located and a weak, but the well-placed owner of the horoscope) are more difficult to interpret: there will be pluses and minuses, and many different nuances.
However, there are always a lot of nuances in working with a birth chart. And even a seemingly perfect lagnesh can lead to obstacles in life, and a seemingly problematic lagnesh can give good results. This is due, among other things, to the planetary combinations in which the lagnesh participates in each specific case.
The position of any planet (including the owner of the horoscope) can be divided into two categories: the position in the sign and the position in the house. Both can give the planet strength (or weakness), as well as additional semantic coloring.

► In addition, each sign of the zodiac endows the planet with the characteristics that it owns.
Aries makes the owner of the horoscope more decisive, Ta**us - solid, Gemini - multifaceted, Cancer - sensitive, Leo - powerful, Virgo - modest, Libra - flexible, Scorpio - mysterious, Sagittarius - straightforward, Capricorn - methodical, Aquarius - original, Pisces - philosophical .
That is, a person will manifest not only the qualities of his ascending sign (lagna), but also the qualities of the lagnesh (its owner), which are made up of the characteristics of the planet itself and the characteristics of the sign in which the lagnesh is located.
Lagnesh in houses
► Being in a particular house also empowers the planet or deprives it. This force factor is called dig-bala (power of direction).
The Sun is strong in the 10th house, weak in the 4th.
The Moon is strong in the 4th house, weak in the 10th.
Mars is strong in the 10th house, weak in the 4th.
Mercury is strong in the 1st house, weak in the 7th.
Jupiter is strong in the 1st house, weak in the 7th.
Venus is strong in the 4th house, weak in the 10th.
Saturn is strong in the 7th house, weak in the 1st.
► In addition, the house in which the planet is located brings additional clarity to how events will develop in certain issues.
If the owner of the horoscope is in trines, this is fine, since such a person will be endowed with good luck and rich opportunities. If in dushthanas, it is worse, such a position can make life difficult, create problems and obstacles.
But you need to approach the interpretation of the position of the owner of the horoscope in a versatile way, trying to take into account as many details as possible in order to get not a flat black and white picture, but a three-dimensional full-color image. A position in a trikona alone does not guarantee lifelong success, and a position in a dushthana is by no means a cause for tragedy.
Lagnesh in the 1st house . 1st house is both a trikona and a kendra, so a good position. However, the 1st house, like the lord of the 1st house (lagnesh), symbolizes the person himself, so it can be assumed that he will focus more on himself than on others.
Lagnesh in the 2nd house . It's not Dushthana, which is good enough. The 2nd house is responsible for the family and finances, so a person will deal with family (ancestral) tasks and think a lot about money.
Lagnesh in the 3rd house . This is the weakest dushthana, it can bring some minimum of problems. But at the same time, the 3rd house shows the close circle, friends of the owner of the horoscope, his hobby and courage. Such a person can be sociable, courageous, think about his loved ones, have one or more hobbies.
Lagnesh in the 4th house . This is a kendra, it gives stability. The 4th house symbolizes the property of a person and his place of birth. This position gives a craving for the homeland, a focus on domestic and property issues.
Lagnesh in the 5th house . It's a trikona, a good position. The 5th house is responsible for love, children, creativity, so a person can be loving, romantic, able to communicate with children, with a desire for self-expression.
Lagnesh in the 6th house . This is Dushthana. The 6th house shows diseases and enemies, therefore it can create health problems for the native, endow him with enemies. At the same time, this is a house of humility and service, so a person will have to face situations when he needs to learn to control himself.
Lagnesh in the 7th house . This is a kendra, it gives stability. The 7th house symbolizes partnerships, both personal (marriage) and business (business). The owner of the horoscope may think about the arrangement of his family or professional life.
Lagnesh in the 8th house . This is Dushthana. The 8th house is responsible for unforeseen and unpleasant situations, the protracted course of various problems. Such a person may face various obstacles. But at the same time, he can be a researcher and have good intuition.
Lagnesh in the 9th house . It's a trikona, a good position. The 9th house shows a craving for knowledge, travel, spiritual growth. The native can be successful, easily getting what he wants, self-educating.
Lagnesh in 10th house . This is a kendra, it gives stability. The 10th house symbolizes social and professional position. The owner of the horoscope can be aimed at career and social growth.
Lagnesh in the 11th house . It's not Dushthana, which is good enough. The 11th house is responsible for profits, gifts, patrons. Such a person may have high-ranking allies and receive material bonuses from them.
Lagnesh in the 12th house . This is Dushthana. The 12th house shows expenses and losses. It can be difficult for a native to keep what he has received, he can often lose what he has. At the same time, the 12th house is the house of solitude, such a person easily endures loneliness.
► The house in which the lagnesh is located shows the direction of a person’s thoughts, his goals, his interests; what he is looking for, what he wants, what he strives for, through what he is realized. Not necessarily this direction will be positive, it can be different.
For example, the lord of the horoscope in the 3rd house may give increased interest in one's brothers or sisters. But whether this interest will be with a plus sign (that is, the native will take care of them, help them) or with a minus sign (that is, the native will hate them, spoil their life), it is difficult to say, it depends on other parameters of the horoscope.
Or: the lord of the horoscope in the 7th house does not guarantee a pleasant and cloudless married life, it only shows that partnerships are of particular importance to the native. He can look for them, often change partners in search of the best, and be constantly dissatisfied with his current chosen one. Or you can meet your spouse in your youth and be faithful to him throughout your life. In both cases, thoughts about marriage and a partner will take place.
► The fact that the 2nd and 7th houses are maracas can also play a negative role. But in this sense, the 6th, 8th and 12th houses also carry risk. All of them can really shorten or worsen life, but there are no exact dates here. This can happen right after birth, or sometime in the distant future. The fact is that this factor alone is not enough to talk about the danger to the life of the native and his well-being.
Therefore, the position of the lagnesha in the house, which has any negative meaning, should not be taken with fear. Before drawing usions, it is necessary to study many more parameters of the horoscope.
