Excellent question! The Lagna Nakshatra (Ascendant Nakshatra) is a very important factor in Vedic Astrology but often ignored compared to the Moon Nakshatra.
🌙 What is Lagna Nakshatra?
The Lagna (Ascendant) Nakshatra is the Nakshatra (lunar mansion) in which your Ascendant Degree falls at the time of birth.
✅ It shows your physical personality, external behavior, appearance, how the world perceives you.
✅ It indicates your core karmic nature and how you approach life situations.
If Moon Nakshatra is the mind & emotions,
Lagna Nakshatra is the body, behavior, physical karma.
