Aquarius Ascendant: The Twelve Houses and Their Lords
The houses here are whole signs. With Aquarius rising, Aquarius is the 1st house, Pisces the 2nd, and so on round to Capricorn as the 12th; the lord of each house is the ruler of its sign. That makes Saturn the lagna lord, and it sets which graha holds which pair of houses for every Aquarius-rising chart, before a single planet’s position is known.

| 3rd lord | Aries | Mars | the 10th | upachaya |
| 4th lord | Taurus | Venus | the 9th | kendra |
