First House (Lagna) in Astrology: Swa-Bhava or स्व-भाव or Self-Bhava
The First House (Lagna) in astrology shows your Swa-Bhava — your nature, and identity (स्वभाव, व्यक्तित्व), and character. शील" (Sheel) का अर्थ आचरण या व्यवहार (demeanor/conduct) है, जबकि "सहज गुण" (Sahaj Gun) जन्मजात या अंतर्निहित विशेषता (innate quality/inherent trait) को संदर्भित करता है。
Lord Rama’s soft and gentle nature comes from his First House (Lagna), which reflects his Swa-Bhava.
Lord Rama, who is seen as very soft swabhav (nature) in Ramayana. This line is from Goswami Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas:
अति कोमल रघुवीर स्वभाव – भगवान राम का स्वभाव बहुत कोमल, सौम्य और दयालु है。
Ati komal Raghuveer swabhav – Lord Rama’s nature is extremely gentle, soft, and compassionate.
This verse describes how Ram's natural disposition and temperament are soft, kind, and merciful—free from harshness or cruelty and filled with immense love toward devotees.
Lord Rama’s First House
Lord Rama holds a soft Cancer rising (Swa/First Bhava) with Moon in its own sign and exalted Jupiter in the Lagna. The Lagna lord (Ascendant ruler) signals your physical constitution, personality imprint, and overall life path. A strong Lagna lord across varga charts often brings robust health, charisma, and resilience.
His birth chart features Jupiter exalted in Cancer within Pushya Nakshatra. Study Pushya to understand its nourishing influence.
First House and Success
Lagna shows success—known as chal paṛnā (चल पड़ना), meaning the ability to rise, move forward, and take initiative. Planets in the First House plus the Ascendant ruler guide personal growth and forward momentum.
