Singha Lagna (Leo Ascendant)

Insights of Singha Lagna Jatakas or Leo Ascendants in Vedic Astrology

Like the Aries Ascendants, Leo Ascendant has a fiery disposition which creates courage and a strong sense of purpose, but which also increases anger and gives rise to a hot temper. Leo rising people are often ambitious as well but may have to struggle to realize their objectives. They are typically cheerful, warm-hearted, sincere, and somewhat conservative. They often have a passion for the acquisition of knowledge. Happy married life is typically delayed, or the partner is somewhat distant – in age, culture, or physically.
