Guest guest Posted May 28, 2001 Report Share Posted May 28, 2001 Q3. Why is the eastern horizon taken as the first house or Lagna? Why not the mid-heaven or western horizon or any other sign? submitted by Alex J [lostinmotion]A3 The Eastern horizon is taken as the first house as that is where the Sun rises. Symbolically this is when the Soul enters into the visible world. At sunset the soul is leaving the world. submitted by Frank in Austin [fschmidt] Alternative yet simular Answer: a. First part of the earth that meets the zodiac when one is bornl This Kendra is a dharma house, and in the natural Naisargika zodiac, Meesha is first ( ruling the head) and if one is delivered without complications one's head comes to the world first to meet the environment. b. East direction is owned by Surya and is the Nasisargikakaraka ( Atmakaraka) of the SELF; as Surya is karaka of the first bhava (lagna).
