About MB Vedic Ascendant Software
Vedic astrology or Hindu astrology has been derived from the Vedas – the
prime Hindu text of philosophy. It is the study of the positions of
different planets with respect to the zodiac and the effect of these
planets on an individual.
The zodiac is divided into 12 signs or rashis. In Sanskrit, a rashi
means a heap or a cluster. Vedic astrology gives more importance to the
moon than the sun. The moon is responsible for our emotions, intellect
and material wealth.
Along with the moon sign the sign that is ascending at the time of birth
is also considered very important in Vedic astrology. This is the sign
in the eastern horizon at the time of birth and is known as the Lagna or
the Vedic Ascendant.
This sign changes in every two hours and all 12 signs of the zodiac
ascend in one period of 24 hours.
So the sign ascending at the instant of birth happens to be the first
house in the birth chart or the horoscope.
The bottom line is that the Lagna establishes the kind of body, health,
life or endurance, as well as noticeable qualities of an individual
evident to the world. The Lagna varies with the time of the day and the
place. So people belonging to all the 12 signs are born on the earth at
any given moment or instance. It is described in terms of longitude of
the position of the moon. Vedic astrology is based on sidereal astrology
that assumes that the stars have a fixed position against which motion
of planets is measured.
