The ascendant is considered most important house in a birth chart. The strength of ascendant and its Lord is considered utmost important when determining general success in life. A person with strong ascendant will be bold and very strong in keeping his opinions/views etc. If the ascendant lord is exalted or in own house the person will be strong physically. He will have success depending upon location of ascendant lord.

1. Your physical existence or your body.
2. Your will power.
3. Your physical strength.
4. Your physical beauty.
5. Your head and hair.
6. Brain, appearance, skin, sleep, longevity

The ascendant must be considered a temple and hence the planets present in it must be considered deities of the temple. An inimical planet (planet that is malefic for the Lagna) must, preferably be not present in the ascendant. Following is the list of planets that are ascendants and the planets that are malefics/benefics to it:
| Lagna | Benefics | Malefics |
| Aries (Mesha) | Sun, Jupiter | Mercury, Venus, Saturn |
| Taurus (Vrish) | Sun, Saturn | Moon, Jupiter |
| Gemini (Mithun) | Venus | Mars, Jupiter |
| Cancer (Karka) | Moon, Mars, Jupiter | Mercury, Venus |
| Leo (Sinha) | Sun, Mars, Jupiter | Mercury, Venus, Saturn |
| Virgo (Kanya) | Mercury, Venus | Moon, Jupiter, Mars |
| Libra (Tula) | Mercury, Venus, Saturn | Sun, Mars, Jupiter |
| Scorpio (Vrishchik) | Moon, Mars, Jupiter | Mercury, Venus, Saturn |
| Sagittarius (Dhanu) | Sun, Mars, Jupiter | Venus |
| Capricorn (Makar) | Mercury, Venus | Moon, Mars, Jupiter |
| Aquarius (Kumbh) | Mercury, Venus, Saturn | Sun, Mars, Jupiter |
| Pisces (Meen) | Moon, Mars, Jupiter | Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn |
The planets that are present in ascendant will deliver their properties to the ascendant and hence influence the native. For example, presence the Venus in ascendant will always make a native lover of beauty in general and also give the native a bent towards arts, similarly, Saturn will make native pessimistic and Sun will always keep the native in limelight. Hence, while judging a chart we must keep in mind these factors, besides the above malefic/benefic planets.
