Lagnaphala Bhaskara is a comprehensive work that explores the influence of the twelve Rashis as they ascend in the Lagna, which I have developed after extensive study of various ancient texts on Jyotisha. In this blog article, I have provided the effects of Mesha Lagna along with some insights from the writings of Sri B.V. Raman and Sri J.N. Bhasin. Additionally, detailed explanations and commentary have been included at the conclusion.
मेषविलग्ने कुनखः सुरोषणो भेदकृत्स्खलितवाक्यः ।
पित्ताऽनिलभूयिष्ठः कृपणोऽति बहुव्यथश्चैव ॥
रहितो बाल्ये गुरुभिर्मन्दसुतः स्वजनसहज हितकर्त्ता
धर्मस्थितो विदेशोपगश्च कर्माऽरभत्यऽफलं ॥
नीचां वा पिशुनां वा विकलां लभत्येऽनपूर्विकां भार्यां ।
सहजसमान्यपि मित्राणि चाऽस्य बन्धुत्वमुपयान्ति ॥
शस्त्रेण वा विषैर्वा मरणं पित्तोद्भवैर्विकारैर्वा ।
स्वात्पक्षात्ज्वलाद्वा वर्षात्दुर्गात् प्रपतनाद्वा ॥ (SJ)
वृत्ताताम्रदृगुष्णशाकलघुभुक् क्षिप्रप्रसादोऽटनः

सेवाज्ञः कुनखी व्रणाङ्कितशिरा मानी सहोत्थाग्रजः
शक्त्या पाणितलेऽङ्कितोऽतिचपलस्तोये च भीरुः क्रिये ॥ (VH)
[The native has round eyes like the colour of copper. He likes to eat things less but in hot condition, is easily pleased, has many travels, is given to sex. The lower portion of his legs is weak. He has vicissitudes in matters of wealth, is full of valour, favourite of women, appreciates service of others, has bad nails of the body, has mark of injury on the head, is respected, is eldest among his brothers. He has the Shakti mark on his palm, is very changeful and is very much afraid of water.]
मेषविलग्ने जातः प्रचण्डरोषो विदेशगमनरतः ।
लुब्धः कृशोऽल्पसौख्यः सेष्यः स्खलिताभिधायो च ॥
पित्तानिलोष्णरोगैरभितप्ततनुः क्रियापटुर्भीरुः ।
मेषक्ष धर्मपरश्चलोऽल्पमेधाः परार्थनाशकरः ॥
भोक्ता ख्यातः कुनखौ भ्रातृविहीनस्तथा पितृत्यवतः ।
शीघ्रगतिर्मन्दसुतो विविधार्थयुतः सुशीलश्च ॥
कुकुलोद्गतां विशीलां स्वजनेऽपि च निघृणां स्त्रियं लभते ।
अपकृष्टोव्यसौख्यः कुधर्मसंवधितार्थश्च ॥ (SV)
[One born in Mesha Lagna will be highly susceptible to ire, be interested in visiting foreign places, be miserly in disposition, emaciated, not happy, be jealous, stammering in speech, troubled by bilious and windy diseases and complaints of heat, be skilful in performance, timid, religious, not very intelligent and will destroy others' wealth. He will be fickle-minded. He will enjoy pleasures, be famous, will have bad (ugly) nails, be bereft of brothers, be discarded by his father, will walk fast, will have inactive (or unlucky) children, be endowed with various kinds of wealth, and be virtuous. His wife will belong to a base family, be virtuous and be reproached even by her own people. The native will derive happiness and wealth in undesirable manners.]
शूरः कामी भवति सुभगो वर्तुलाताम्रनेत्रः सेवाविज्ञो व्रर्णचतशिराः कोष्णशाकाल्पभुक्तः। मानी भीरुः पयसि कुनखीभ्रातृमुख्यो स्थिरस्थः शक्ते रंकं कलयति करे द्राक्प्रसादोटनोजे ॥ (HM)
[The native has copper coloured round eyes. Generally he likes to eat things in hot condition. He is given to sex, is easily pleased, and has many travels. His body is streaky and has marks of injury. He is full of valour. He appreciates service of others. He has bad nails and is eldest amongst brothers. He treats even superior persons as inferior and is satisfied with whatever he gets. He has a self respect.]
मेषम् - तस्येवापञ्चमे वर्ष वन्हिना च भयं भवेत् । ज्वरेण दशमे चैव विंशत्यां वृश्चिकेन तु । सर्पेण भयमद्दिष्टं पञ्चविंशतिकेपि च। अष्टाविंशतिके भूतादपमृत्युभयं भवेत् । यदा पुण्यगृहे दृष्टे शतवर्षेण जीवति । मार्गशीर्षे शुक्लपक्षे पौर्णमास्यां तथा गुरौ। रोहिण्याञ्च शिरोरोगात् अपमृत्युर्भविष्यति । (SD)
[Mesham - In the fifth year, there will be danger from wind (or air-related illness). In the tenth year, from fever, and in the twentieth year, from scorpions. Danger from snakes is indicated in the twenty-fifth year as well. In the twenty-eighth year, there may be danger of unnatural death from spirits. When benefics are placed in auspicious houses, one may live for a hundred years. On the full moon day of the bright fortnight in the month of Margashirsha (November-December), especially on Thursday, in the Rohini constellation, there may be sudden death due to head disease.]
गुणी चण्ड प्रकोपी च स्वजनेपि विरोधिनः ।
पराक्रमात् यशप्राप्य मेषजन्माऽतिरोषयः ॥ (BhS)
[One born under Mesha Lagna is talented yet fierce and angry, opposes own kinsfolk and achieves fame through his valor, but is excessively wrathful.]
धनवान् पुत्रवानुग्रः परकार्यकरस्सदा ।
सर्वकर्म्मप्रकर्त्ता च शीलवान् नृपवल्लभः ॥
गुणग्राही कृतज्ञी च देवविप्रार्चने मति ।
सुमूर्त्ति स्वल्पभक्षी च ताम्रदीर्घसुलोचनः ॥
प्रमादी शीघ्रः शूरश्च कामी दुर्बलजानुकः ।
शीरोव्रणसमायुक्तः कुनखी सेवकप्रियः ॥
द्विभार्यो संगरे-यातः चपलो नितरां भवेत् ।
विदेशे गमनं प्रीति कृशांगी शीघ्रगामिनः ॥
लक्षणं च शुभं सर्वं शरीरं वातपीडितं ।
इति ज्ञेयं फलान्यत्र मेषलग्नोत्भवेन्नरः ॥ (BS)
[The results for a man born with Mesha Lagna are to be understood as follows - A wealthy man, blessed with sons, always engaged in helping others, doer of all tasks, virtuous, and dear to the king, appreciative of good qualities, grateful, devoted to the worship of gods and Brahmins, of pleasing appearance, eating little, with copper-colored, long, and beautiful eyes, careless, swift, brave, passionate, with weak knees, afflicted with a head wound, having deformed nails, fond of servants, having two wives, going to battle, exceedingly fickle, fond of traveling abroad, lean-bodied, and swift-moving, all these are the auspicious characteristics in the body and he is afflicted by Vata (wind-related ailments).]
मेषोदये जन्म यदा भवेच्च स्वपित्तरोगं स्वजनापमानं ।
दुष्टैर्वियोगं कलहं च दुःखं शस्त्राभिघातं च धनक्षयं च ॥ (VYJ)
[When a birth occurs at the rising of Mesha, it may lead to diseases of the bile (pitta), insult from relatives, separation from wicked people, quarrels, sorrow, injury by weapons, and loss of wealth.]
पित्ताऽनिलाऽक्ष्याऽमयतप्तदेहः क्रियापटुर्लोभनदुष्टधर्म्मः ।
ईर्ष्यः परस्वेषु विकर्षकारी भीरुर् विषादी चपलोऽल्पमेधाः ॥
पित्रा जनन्या सहजेन वापि वियुज्यते शीघ्रगतिः प्रभोक्ता ।
मन्दात्मजः स्वैः सहजैः सुहृत्भिर्विरुद्धशीलो विविधार्त्थभाक् च ॥
ख्यातः स्थिरस्थीतधनः कुबन्धुः सद्वृत्तशीलः कुनखोऽजितारिः ।
व्यंगां विशीलां कुकुलोद्गतां वा प्राप्नोतिभार्यां स्वजनैषिणीं वा ॥
कुकर्मसंसिद्धि विवर्द्धिताऽर्त्थः क्षयाऽपकर्षैरऽनुभूतसौख्यः ।
रक्ताऽग्निशस्त्रैस्तनुपाटलाद्वा मृयेत रोगैर्विषपित्तजैर्वा ॥ (YJ)
[Afflicted by bile and wind, with eyes diseased and a body scorched by ailment, skilled in action yet corrupted by greed and flawed in virtue, envious of others' wealth, causing harm, timid, melancholic, fickle, and of little intellect. Separated swiftly from father, mother, or siblings, one who moves quickly, as foretold by the Lord, slow-witted, at odds with kin and friends, bearing a nature contrary to theirs, partaking in varied sorrows, renowned, with stable wealth, yet tied to poor relations, of virtuous conduct, with flawed nails, unconquered by foes, he obtains a wife who is deformed, ill-mannered, or born of a low family, or one who is hostile to his kin, success in wicked deeds increases his wealth, yet pleasures are experienced through decline and degradation. He may die by diseases born of poison or bile, by blood, fire, weapons, or the tearing of the body.]
वृत्तेक्षणो दुर्बलजानुरुग्रो भीरुर्जले स्याल्लघुभुक्सुकामी ।
सञ्चारशीलश्चपलेऽनृतोक्तिर्व्रणाङ्कितांगः क्रियभे प्रजातः ॥ (PD)
[One born under Mesha Lagna will have round eyes, will be weak-kneed, passionate, afraid to go in water, will eat sparingly, will long for women, will always be on his legs, will be fickle, will speak falsehoods and will have bruised limbs.]
बन्धुद्वेषकरोऽटनः कृशतनुः क्रोधी विवादप्रियो ।
मानी दुर्बलजानुरस्थिरधनः शूरश्च मेषोदये ॥ (JP)
[At the rising of Mesha, (the native) may be one who causes enmity with relatives, a wanderer, thin-bodied, angry, fond of disputes, proud, weak-kneed, unstable in wealth, and courageous.]
लग्ने क्रिये क्रोधपरोऽतिलुब्धो विदेशगोऽल्पात्मजसौख्यशीलः ।
मेषाक्षिरीर्षु स्खलिताभिधायां पटुः परः श्रेष्ठविशिष्टकर्ता ॥
विरुद्धशीलैः सहजैश्च मित्रैः ख्यातोऽल्पमेधाश्चपलः कुबन्धुः ।
भीरुः स्थिरः स्फीतधनो विषादी कनिष्ठकर्माद्भुतगो जितारिः ॥
वियुज्यते प्राक् सरुजेन मात्रा पित्रा धनभ्रंशसमन्वितश्च ।
प्रोप्नोति भार्यां सुकुमारशीलां व्यङ्गां समीरादिभिरर्दिताङ्गरोगम् ॥ (HR/JSD)
[One born in Mesha Lagna, will be given to anger, very miserly and will live in foreign lands. He will be content with a limited number of children. His eyes will resemble that of a goat. He will stammer in speech, be skilful, an excellent personage and will perform excellent deeds. His co-born and friends will be inimical to him. He will have little intelligence and be fickle-minded. His kinsmen will be mean. He will be timid, firm, wealthy, and disconsolate. He will do small jobs but will be a wonderful accomplisher and will have subdued foes. During his childhood, his mother will be sickly. He will diminish paternal wealth and will be defective of some limb. His spouse will be a delicate youth, be deficient in limb and be troubled by windy diseases.]
मेषे लग्नै समुत्पन्नश्चण्डो मानी सकोपकः ।
सुधीः स्वजनहन्ता च विक्रमी परवत्सलः ॥ (LC)
[When Mesha is the ascendant, the person born may be fierce, proud, prone to anger, intelligent, a destroyer of relatives, valorous, and affectionate toward others.]

पराक्रमप्राप्तयशोविशेषोमेषोदये यः पुरुषोतिरोषः ॥ (JB)
[One born under Mesha Lagna is proud, skilled, short-tempered, inimical to his own kinsfolk and friendly to others, he gains extraordinary fame because of his courage and is wrathful.]
मेषलग्ने समुत्पत्र श्चण्डो मानी धनी शुभः ।
क्रोधी स्वजनहन्ता च विक्रमी परवत्सलः ॥ (MS)
[If Mesha be the Lagna, the native will be sharp-witted, egotisic, wealthy, virtuous; short-tempered, be hostile to his kinsmen, enterprising and respected by others.]
The following excerpt is taken with gratitude from 'How To Judge A Horoscope Vol. 1' authored by Dr. B. V. Raman and published by Motilal Banarasidass Publications for the benefit of all learners. Sincere seekers are suggested to read the book for more details:-
Mental Tendencies - Independent thinking, courageous and sensitive.
Physical Tendencies - Middle stature, ruddy complexion, sharp sight, long face and neck, head broad at the temples and narrow at chin, brown or light and curly, mark or scar on the head or temples, teeth well-set and round eyes.
General Tendencies - Those born in Mesha are lovers of scientific thought. They are enterprising and ambitious. They have the ability to plan. They dislike being guided by others are intense when interested, vehement when excited. They are rather stubborn, but often frank. Quick tempered, they resent imposition and are liable to go to extremes. Their constitution will be hot. They love beauty, art and elegance. They have practical ideas. If Aries is afflicted they suffer from diseases pertaining to the head. Mental affliction and derangement are also likely if Saturn and the Moon are in Aries.
The following excerpt is taken with gratitude from 'Astro Sutras' authored by Sri J. N. Bhasin and published by Sagar Publications. Sincere seekers are advised to read the book for more information:-
If the lagna i.e. the first house contains the sign Aries, the person born has the traits and characteristics of the planet Mars. The native has active habits and has a fair amount of anger in him. Since in this case the planet Mars assumes the lordship of both houses that represent "LONGEVITY", and death, it will indicate the native's mode of death through the nature of the planet or planets that may be influencing Mars. For the same reason the planet mars assumes great importance for longevity as well. In other words the stronger Mars is in the nativity the more long lived the native would be. Similarly if Mars is very weak it denotes that the native is not destined to live long. The lordship of the 8th house by Mars makes the native prone to a sinful life unless Mars has the relieving aspect etc. of some benefic planet. Sinful life is more likely if Mars has influence on the 4th house and it's lord as well.
