Externally, a lagna takes place when the sun enters a constellation of the zodiac, and, internally, when the winds move from one set of twelve house channels at the navel to another. One lagna consists of 1,800 wind movements (breaths), or five minor saṃkrāntis, and is approximately equivalent to two hours. Also translated as "ascendant," "ascendant conjunction," "rising sign," and "time-conjunctions." See Kongtrul 1995, 159–62;and Kongtrul 2012, 347. +
