Previously we have learnt about 27 nakshatras in vedic astrology. Each Nakshatra is divided into 4 padams and 9 padams of Nakshatra becomes a Rasi ( zodiac sign). There are 12 Rashi in Jyothisham in 360 degress, starting from Aries consisting first 30 degrees to Pisces consisting last 30 degress. The sign that is rising at time of birth is called Lagnam.
In astrology each lagnam has its own lord.
