The fourth house of the horoscope is known as the Lagna or the Ascendant. This is the most important house in the horoscope as it represents the native's self, body, health, and general well-being. The Lagnesh (the planet that rules the Ascendant) is therefore of great importance in determining the native's overall fortunes.

The fourth house is also known as the Sukha sthana, or the house of happiness. This is because the fourth house represents the native's mother, home, and family life - all of which are the sources of happiness and comfort in life. The Lagnesh therefore plays a very important role in determining the native's emotional wellbeing.
