How this calculator works

With whole-sign houses, as used in most Parashari practice and here, your 1st house is one whole sign counted from the Lagna. It is read through its sign, the planets in it, its lord and the aspects it receives.

An empty house is not a weak or missing area of life: it is read through its lord.

Calculated in your browser from the same chart as our free Kundli: sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses, mean node. The numbers match our free Kundli exactly.

Background

The 1st house is the starting point of the chart: the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. Vedic astrology calls it the lagna or tanu bhava, the house of the body; Western astrology calls it the ascendant or rising sign. The First House (Lagna) in Astrology: Self, Body and Beginnings →

Questions

How do I know the sign of my 1st house?

Count signs from your Lagna: the Lagna’s sign is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. The calculator does it for you from your birth time and place.

What if there are no planets in it?

Most charts have several empty houses. An empty house is read through its lord and the aspects it receives.

Why is the house different on another site?

We use whole-sign houses and the Lahiri ayanamsa. Other house systems (Placidus, KP) or a different birth time can change it.
