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.
Kendra: The angular houses: 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th. Planets here are considered prominent and able to act strongly.
Conjunction: Two or more planets in the same sign (and so the same house).
Drekkana (D3): The third-division chart; each sign is split into three parts of 10°.
Day and night birth: A day birth is between sunrise and sunset. The Vedic weekday also begins at sunrise, not midnight.
