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.
Benefic
Naturally helpful planets: Jupiter, Venus, a waxing Moon, and Mercury when not joined by malefics.
Exaltation (Uchcha)
The sign where a planet is strongest: Sun in Aries, Moon in Taurus, Mars in Capricorn, Mercury in Virgo, Jupiter in Cancer, Venus in Pisces, Saturn in Libra. "Deep exaltation" is its exact peak degree.
Own sign (Swakshetra)
A sign ruled by the planet itself, such as Mars in Aries or Scorpio. A planet here is comfortable and strong.
Aspect (Drishti)
A planet's glance on another house. Every planet aspects the 7th house from itself; Mars also the 4th and 8th, Jupiter the 5th and 9th, Saturn the 3rd and 10th.
Exchange (Parivartana)
Two planets each occupying the other's sign, for example Mars in Taurus and Venus in Aries. It links the houses they rule.
Chara karakas
Significators chosen by degree: the planet with the highest degree in its sign is the Atmakaraka (soul), the next the Amatyakaraka (career), and so on. Karakamsha is the Atmakaraka's Navamsha sign.
