Lagna (Ascendant)
The zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. It becomes the 1st house, and every other house is counted from it.
House lord
The planet that rules the sign on a house. "Lord of the 9th" means the ruler of the sign falling in the 9th house.
Malefic
Naturally harsh planets: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, a waning Moon, and Mercury joined by malefics.
Conjunction
Two or more planets in the same sign (and so the same house).
