  • Post category:General

These are very general observations. Likely to vary from native to native. Also influenced by dasa, bhukti, antaras and transits on day today basis.

Mesha Lagnam

Natives born in Mesha Lagna might get rewards from royal establishments, Govt establishments, liked by people by and large, bold, would work under somebody like a slave and adamant at the same time, loyal, would be fairly rich, street smart,  traveller, with good looks, would have a high threshold of tolerance, would be conscientious. May have more than one spouse.

The native may get exposed to fire accidents, get hit by weapons and /or minor and major accidents, would be the best of siblings. Some times he may be miserly.

At the ages of 4, 5, 7, 10, 20, 22, 25, 26 he might be exposed to inconvenient ailments like smallpox, skin diseases like rashes, herpes, eczema, fungal infections etc.

For this lagna, Surya and Guru are benefics. But Guru associated with Shaneeshwara may not benefit the native. Surya and Guru are yogakaarakaas. Even if 2nd lord happens to be Sukra, he may not inflict death. The native has to be a little watchful during Saneeshwara periods. At the ages of 2, 3, 7, 8, 12 Saneeshwara may give difficulties to the extent that the native may feel exposed to a situation equivalent to death (because of unbearable difficulties).

Vrishabha lagnam

The native may be a lean and lanky person. Some natives may have kalatradosham, would be honest, self-centred sometimes, might grab others’ properties, cunning, would have power of attraction, would be well dressed and if the native is a woman she would be decked with jewellery, would be good judge of people, would have delayed births of children.

At the ages 5,19, 20, 27 the native may suffer from incurable like fever, pain in the neck and dermatological disorders. If benefic planets aspect, the native would live long.

For the native, Surya, Saneeshwara and Budha are capable of doing good, with Saneeshwara blessing the native with Rajayoga. Chandra and Guru are not likely to benefit them. By and large the native would have divine blessings in ample measure. We should examine Chandran,Guru, Sukra and Kuja before venturing to fix  the time of expiry.

Mithuna lagnam

The native would do auspicious things, by and large good natured, incapable of harming anybody but sometimes avaricious to the extent of making loss to others intentionally for petty benefits. The native would talk sweetly, fond of discreet sex, would be obedient to wife, by and large would be wealthy but not healthy. There may be exceptions. The spouse sometimes may be unhealthy. The native might be a banker, chartered accountant, company secretary or cost accountant.

At ages of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 18, 25, 28 the native may have health hazards. If benefics aspect this lagna, a long life is predictable.

For this Lagna, Guru, Kuja  and Surya are not capable of doing good. If Guru is associated with Saneeshwara ,an insipid phase is predictable. Even if Chandra is the 2nd lord, he is incapable of infilcting death. Since Guru and Saneeshwara are dharmakarmaathipathis, they are reckoned as yogakaarakaas. Even if they are not associated with each other and if they are in different houses they are capable of doing good. The native would do lot of charities silently without trumpeting. At times because of the native’s mood swings, he may become unpopular. The native would be good counsellors and mediators. Their heads would rule their hearts. The native would set and expect high standards without the native contributing much.

by and large these natives although may be finicky would be restless in everything. The native may not trust anybody. But will be brilliant in conceptualisation and innovative. The native would have a high sense of urgency to meet the objectives. The native would not like to be told and may think that what the native thinks alone is right bordering on arrogance. The native would drop friends/relatives if they don’t see eye to eye, like hot potatoes. The native’s sincerity cannot be questioned.

 Kataka lagna

Kataka lagna born are by and large affluent, devoid of worldly pleasures, shrewd, smart, have respect towards Guru, always grumbling, insipid relationship with father etc., At the ages of 5, 8, 14, 16, 20, 25, 40 the native is likely to be affected by fever and upper respiratory problems. If benefics aspect the house of longevity and lagna, the native is likely to live quite long.

Guru and Kuja are yoga kaarakaas capable of helping the native. If Kuja is associated with Guru, it would be a wonderful yoga for some natives provided Saneeshwara does not aspect them by special aspects of 3 and 10. Sukra, Budha and Shaneeshwara are considered maarakaas. If these planets are in 2, 3, 7, 8 and 12, the natives would suffer heavily mentally and physically equivalent to a feel of dying. It may be like a slip between the cup and lip case.

Simha lagna

By and large the natives of this lagna would be by and large majestic in appearance, fairly healthy,

spiritually oriented person, short tempered sometimes, rich, not dependent on others by and large. very smart operator, would have power of attraction in speech and writing, hard worker.

At the ages of 5, 10, 27 and 30 likely to be affected by some ailments. If benefics aspect lagna, the native would enjoy long life.

Surya and Kuja are benefics, Kuja is yogakaaraka. If Kuja and Sukra are posited in lagna  it is a perfect good yoga.

The natives belonging to this lagna would be very brave, competent enough to vanquish enemies provided Lagnathipathi is stronger than the 6th lord. They are by and large innovative and imaginative poets. If the natives are of the feminine gender, they would be autocratic, arrogant and would talk sarcastically insulting people. If they happen to lead a party or Government, they would tend to be dictatorial and there would be a lot of gap between precept and practice. They invariably won’t trust others easily. They by and large demand respect instead of commanding. They would make flippant remarks to make people feel inconvenient. But if they trust a person, they would go to any extent to please them. Such a situation is difficult but not impossible for them.

Kanya Lagna

The natives belonging to this Lagna are in a way pragmatic and optimistic having the foresight, capability and support to face any situation. The native would engage in charitable pursuits, sympathetic to genuine grievances, slightly self-centered sometimes, beneficiary of efforts of somebody monetarily. The native would be of helping nature selectively mostly on quid proco basis. The natives invariably make money in the latter half of their lives. At the ages of 5, 8,9, 10, 18, 19 the natives might be exposed to viral ailments. If benefics aspect the lagna, longevity to the tune of 80 years may not be ruled out.

Budha and Sukra are yoga kaarakaas. If they are present together, it would be an amazing yoga.

Chandra, Kuja and Guru are maarakaas. Even if Sukra happens to be the 2nd lord, the end would not be determined by Sukra.

The natives of this Lagna would be very affable and amiable. They are good team leaders. Also they are good mediators. They are fun loving people. At the same time, they would be vengeful life long. They have elephantine memory power. Provoked beyond a certain period, they can be dangerous to settle scores with least botheration to serious consequences. Some notorious politicians may belong to this block.

Tula Lagnam

Fundamentally, the natives are expected to be balanced people in line with the symbol ‘tulam ‘ – the balance to weigh different things. Tula lagna natives are basically spiritually oriented. Some of them ascetics. They have tremendous will power, determination and impatient to get things done without losing their cool. They are lively conversationalists, some of them very powerful public speakers. They would be respected by kingdoms.

The natives of Tula lagna would be by and large brilliant, dependable, and would have high level of leadership qualities, name and fame. They would be above wants, compassionate, like to have the best things in life.

At the ages of 7, 9, 10, 12, 19, 28 they may be exposed to severe diarrhoea, viral ailments, opposition, and mental turbulance. If the lagnathpathi is strong and aspected by benefics, besides Lagna also being aspected by benefics, long life is indicated.

For this lagna, Saneeshwara, Budha and Sukra are capable of doing good. If Budha and Moon are associated, there will emanate a positive Raja Yoga. Even if Kuja is the lord of 2 and 7 he may not choose to give the maarakatvam. Surya and Guru are likely to inflict.

The natives of Tula lagna may shine in fine arts, cinema, advertising industry, and in competitive sports. If Mars is powerful, some of them may occupy big positions in Politics, Military, Police, and would be successful surgeons. Some of the tula lagna natives would have the power to vanquish enemies. They are by and large industrious.

Vrischika Lagna

The natives would have razor sharp intellect, affluent, and foxy some times. They would achieve the objective at any cost. Sometimes, they may be hated by relatives and they would also hate them. Some of them are gossip mongers and incorrigibly mischievous.

Some of them may be tough money lenders and they would go to any extent to collect their money mercilessly. There are brighter sides also like being studious, enterprising, innovative, aggressive in the marketing arena as professionals.

Sometimes they may be short tempered, loathsome and rebellious. If Surya is well placed, they would be good rulers and administrators and very good in parties with high sense of humour.

At the ages of 4, 5, 10, 12, 18, 40 they are likely to suffer from inconvenient and non-conventional ailments some of which may not entail open revelation. If benefics aspect the lagna or associated with lagna or lagnatipathi, a reasonable longevity upto 90 years may be predicted. By and large these natives may be controversial at times. Surya, Chandra and Guru are capable of doing good. Budha, Sukra, Kuja may be counterproductive.  

Dhanur Lagna

Tendency to grab others’ property would be there, highly manipulative. In spite of the miserliness, sometimes embarks on charitable activities. Sometimes abrupt and rough in communications. Unpopular among friends and relatives provided benefic aspects are overwhelmingly in his favour.

Kuja, Budha, Sukra are capable of helping. Sukra is the only planet who is a yogakaaraka. If sukra is associated with Budha, there emanates a Raja yoga. Surya and Saneeshwara would only protect them.

A note from the Author

The above observations are general in nature and not thoroughly complete.These are certain pointers only. There may be certain variations in the observations.

These have been culled from various texts and from the experiences of many erudite astrologers. My observations of the last 40 years have also come in handy. No two summaries of the characteristics of 12 Lagnas would be the same and this is no exception.
