Characteristics of Different Ascendants

The first house in a horoscope is the ascendant house. A horoscope begins from the ascendant house. The sign in the ascendant house is known as the ascendant sign. Signs in other houses are determined from this sign. For example, if a horoscope has Aries sign in the ascendant house, then Taurus sign will be in the second house, Gemini in the third, Cancer in the fourth, Leo in the fifth, Virgo in the sixth, Libra in the seventh, Scorpio in the eighth, Sagittarius in the ninth, Capricorn in the tenth, Aquarius in the eleventh and Pisces in the twelfth.

A planet is malefic or benefic according to the ascendant in the horoscope. Let us understand about the malefic and benefic results of planets for different ascendants.

Aries Lagna

Aries Lagna has Mars Lagnesha and Ashtamesh. Aries is a multrikon sign of Mars. Jupiter is Navamesha or Dwadshesh, Saturn is Dashmesha and Ekadesha. Aries will always give good results in ascendant due to the presence of Sun in Panchamesh. Mercury is Tritiyesha and Shashtesha. They come in the category of malefic planets.

Taurus Lagna

Sun and Saturn give good results for this sign in the ascendant. For this lagna, Jupiter is Ashtamesha and Ekadshesha and is not benefic. Also Venus is Lagnesh and Shashtesha, due to which Venus is not able to give very good results. It is because the Mooltrikona sign of Venus is in the sixth house.

Taurus being Chandra Trityesha gives good results to the ascendant. Sun also gives good results being in Chaturthayesha. Saturn being in Navmesha and Dashmesha is a yogakarak planet and is highly auspicious.

Mercury in this lagna is the lord of the second house, called Markesha and is also  Panchamesha. Fifth house is Trikon house, and Trikon bhava always gives good results. Hence, there are more good results than bad results. Additionally, Mars in this ascendant is Saptmesha and Dwadshesha. Thus, Mars is a benefic planet for this ascendant. Moon is not able to give good results in this condition.

Gemini Lagna

Jupiter is Dashmesha and saptmesha in this ascendant. Jupiter is a malefic planet here. Saturn in Gemini ascendant is Ashtamesha and Navmesha. These are not very beneficial, as they have the ownership of benefic planets and other bhavas are badhak bhavas.

Mercury is Lagnesh and Chaturthyesha. Thus, being the lord of Kenda, it gets defected by Kendradhipati Dosha. Moon is auspicious in general, but is affected if not in relation with a benefic planet.

Cancer Lagna

Mars, Jupiter and Moon are auspicious for Cancer ascendant. Saturn and Sun are Maraka planets. Saturn here is Saptmesha and Ashtamesha. Sun is Dwitiyesha, which is why it is Markesha. Even Venus, being the lord of the fourth house and Kendra house, is defected with Kendradhipati Dosha. Jupiter is Shashtesha and Navemsha, but being a friend of Moon and the lord of the ninth house gives good results.
