what is indu lagna or wealth ascendant (Dhana Lagna)

Indu Lagna also known as Dhana Lagna or Wealth Ascendant. This is a special ascendant, which is derived through calculating cumulative position of ninth house from Ascendant/Lagna and the Moon.
It has very calculation, you have to just see lord of 9th house from lagna and moon, just add values assigned to them and divide by 12. Reminder that is left is counted from moon and this is Indu Lagna. Here I have told how to do it,

First, we have to know about some values assigned to the planets, which are to be used in this calculation and are mentioned below:

Planet  Sun   Moon   Mars   Mercury   Jupiter   Venus   Saturn
Value    30      16         6           8            10         12         1

• After this, find out the zodiac sign (rashi) falling in the ninth house of the Lagna Chart; and write down the value of the lord of ninth house.
• Find out the zodiac sign (rashi) falling in the ninth house of the Moon Chart; and write down the value of ninth house lord in Moon Chart.
• Add both these values; and then, divide it by 12 and note down the remainder, which will be between 0 to 11.
• Count the number from the position of the Moon; and the house identified will be the Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna or Wealth Ascendant.

If the remainder is zero, the house/sign falling in the twelfth house from the Moon Or the previous house from the natal Moon’s position will be considered as Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna or Wealth Ascendant. If the remainder is one, the house/sign occupied by the Moon will be considered as Indu Lagna or Dhana Lagna or Wealth Ascendant.

Let us take the example of horoscope of Shahrukh Khan


Shahrukh Khan is born in Leo Ascendant (Simha Lagna); and, the ninth house is ruled by Mars. The value assigned to Mars is 6.

Now ninth house from moon is ruled by mercury and its assigned value is 8.

Adding these values gives a total of 14; and after dividing it by 12, the remainder is 2.

Here second from moon sign is Capricorn, so it is Indu lagna in this horoscope.
