What is Lagna?

Lagna is the zodiac sign that serves as the starting point of your birth chart. It is the beginning of your personal star map, which reveals your "identity" and "life direction." Thai astrology calculates Lagna using the Ayanamsa method, which begins at the position of the sun at sunrise and proceeds according to the rising time of each zodiac sign, which varies. Therefore, three pieces of information are required: date of birth, time of birth, and province of birth, because the time of sunrise differs at each coordinate.
