Vedic Astrologer
Astrology is the attempt to use the relative position of the sun, moon, and planets to comprehend the behaviour of humans on Earth. Some believe that the planets affect the way individuals act, and more, that they influence actual events which will occur in the future. An astrologer is a person who investigates the heavens and divines what effect it will have on an individual based on that individual’s birth date.
The Astronomy Behind Astrology
Because the Earth circles the sun, the apparent background behind the sun from the Earth’s perspective constantly changes. Imagine a lamp placed at eye-level in the center of a room, with twelve pictures placed on the walls. As the viewer walks around the lamp he is unable to see the picture behind the lamp but able to see the others. This same phenomena is occurring between the Earth and Sun. One of twelve constellations each with 30 degrees of arc appears to be behind the sun. It takes the sun approximately 30 days to appear to pass through the area staked out by each constellation. Each constellation is associated with a sign of the zodiac. A person born during the time when the sun is in that constellation is then said to be born under that sign.
Astrology and astronomy were for many centuries studied as one subject. In fact, much of the early scientific investigation into astronomy was prompted by astrological motivations to determine the fate of individuals and empires. Since then the two disciplines have separated. Astronomy has moved into a strict scientific field, while astrology continues to place emphasis on human behavior and events as influenced by astronomic observations.

ASCENDANT/ASCENDING SIGN/LAGNA
The ascendant or lagna is that point in the zodiac which rises at the time of birth of a person with reference to the place of birth. The position of planets in the zodiac is noted with reference to the earth.
The ascendant is the first house in a horoscope and the rest of the houses are reckoned from it. The ascendant is an important part of the horoscope and it helps in identifying the functional nature of planets. It also helps in analyzing the transit impact of planets.
IMPORTANCE OF ASCENDANT/ASCENDING SIGN / LAGNA
The functional nature of the planets in a birth chart is identified through the ascendant. The functional nature helps in identifying the strength of planets as well as those planets which cause unfavorable influences in the birth chart. The ascendant helps us in identifying the strong aspects of life and the aspect of life under stress including health. The astrological remedial measures for various life problems are recommended on the basis of the functional nature of the planets.
