Terms used on this page

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.
Friend's and enemy's signs: Planets have natural friendships and enmities. A planet in a sign ruled by a friend is supported; in an enemy's sign it is uneasy.
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.
Conjunction: Two or more planets in the same sign (and so the same house).
Vaisheshikamsha: Grades of dignity earned when a planet is in its own or exaltation sign across several of the ten main divisional charts: 2 = Parijata, 3 = Uttama, 4 = Gopura, 5 = Simhasana, 6 = Paravata, 7 = Devaloka, 8 = Brahmaloka, 9 = Airavata, 10 = Sridhama.
