Lagna Context

For Aries lagna, Mars becomes the defining planet because it rules both the 1st and 8th houses, tying identity to courage, crisis handling, and personal reinvention. The Sun, as 5th lord, and Jupiter, as 9th lord, are especially important for intelligence, fortune, and clean direction, while Saturn can bring heavier pressure through career and gains because it rules the 10th and 11th. Venus needs careful handling for marriage and money because it rules the 2nd and 7th, and Mercury often behaves more restlessly because it controls the 3rd and 6th houses.
