Understanding Ascendant (Lagna) Calculator
Why does birth time matter so much for the Lagna?
The ascendant changes sign roughly every two hours, so even a small error in birth time can shift your Lagna and rotate every house in the chart. Accurate time is essential.
Is the Lagna more important than the Sun sign?
In Vedic astrology the Lagna is usually treated as the primary reference for the whole chart, more central than the Sun sign, because it anchors the house framework.
