The ascendent or 1st house is one of the most important areas of astrologer’s interest. Being an angle (kendra) and a trine (trikone) house at the same time, it keeps paramount importance in bhog (or fulfilment) of any other good indications of the birth chart.
Like the planets which are posited into ascendent keeps much significance, same are the planets which aspects the ascendent. The one which aspects the ascendent contributes with their qualities towards formation of end composition of mental, psychological, physical and behavioural nature of the native. And these factors are vital for fulfilment of some of the Raja Yogas and Dhana Yogas which might exist in birth chart. There are wide range of Raja Yogas and Dhana Yogas which might not give there effects if Ascendent or Ascendent lord remains weak and powerless.
How the aspects of Lagna lord (Ascendent lord) effects Lagna (Ascendent) ?
Saravali
“If a planet (whether natural benefic or natural malefic) aspects the ascendent identical with its own sign, that confers happiness and wealth, apart from close relationship with the king.”
“If the ascendent is not owned by the aspecting planet, a benefic then confers auspicious effects and a malefic gives evil results.”
Explanation
There is a general statement in Jyotisha that : a benefic planet aspecting ascendent does good for a birth chart and a malefic planet aspecting ascendent harms it or causes troubles.
The bottom line is a planet never harms its own house. Therefore, a malefic or a benefic as ascendent lord when aspects the ascendent, will give good results in terms of wealth and happiness.
How the aspects of various planets effects Lagna (Ascendent) ?
Explanation
When different planets aspects the ascendent, they infuse their qualities on to ascendent. But this is not that simple to conclusion. The planets not only infuses their qualities but also the qualities of houses and signs they are in (due to the fact they themselves acquire some of the qualities of house and sign they are posited in). This gives wide variations in similar looking planetary configurations.
Surely the condition which remains constant in planets aspecting ascendent is their position. For most of the planets have to be in 7th house to aspect ascendent, while Mars (who aspect 4th, 7th and 8th for self), Jupiter (who aspects 5th, 7th and 9th), and Saturn (3rd, 7th and 10th) with their special aspects can aspect ascendent by even not being in 7th house from it. This gives rise to observed patterns of attributes collected over time by the well versed sages of Ancient Indian, which are listed below from a classical work, Saravali.
