Personal identity and information about physical appearance, vitality and self-confidence.

Determines how an individual presents himself/herself to the outside world.

Shows the circumstances of birth and the body itself.

It is a summary of the complete horoscope and the most important house in the horoscope.

A favorable lagna bhaava can neutralize many of the problems in the remainder of the horoscope.

In mundane (state or political) astrology, the lagna signifies the people of the country.

In a horary chart, this house shows one's mind, physical features of the consultant and his/her health. It represents the person who asks the question. It also indicates diseases to one's enemies, journeys of one's children and the friends of one's brother/s.

Second House [Dhana bhaava]:

The second house is the house of money and money matters and largely decides the net balance of an individual in his/her life.

It denotes the financial circumstances or fortune, profit or gain, loss or damage and general financial prosperity of the native.

This house shows what the person acquires by his/her individual efforts and the degree of prosperity which one will enjoy.

In short, all that is acquired through one's power and resources come under the purview of this house.

Another important influence of the second house is the native's ability to express his thoughts. This house rules vak, meaning speech.

The second house governs second marriage. This is so because the 2nd house is the 8th to the 7th representing the first wife and it is generally after the death or separation from the first wife that one gets married the second time. Though marriage is largely the concern of the 7th house, the second house can show the time of marriage, description of the partner and the state of married life.

The other maaraka sthaana is the 7th house which is the 12th to the 8th (house of longevity).
