The Jyotish caste comprises individuals who traditionally practiced astrology. According to many sources, these individuals were originally considered part of the Brahmin caste .

Jyotisha, states Monier-Williams, is rooted in the word Jyotish, which means light, such as that of the sun or the moon or a heavenly body. The term Jyotisha includes the study of astronomy, astrology, and the science of timekeeping using the movements of astronomical bodies.

In Vedic Astrology Jyotiṣa, the Lagna (lagñ) or Hour Marker, is the first moment of contact between the soul and its new life on earth in Jyotiṣa. [1] Lagna's Rashi and Nakshatra represents the "Atman" (Soul) of an Individual Person while the Lagna Lord which represents the Ruler of the Horoscope absorbs the traits and qualities of that specific Rashi & Nakshatra.
The dispositor is the planet which is the ruler of the sign or house that is occupied by another sign or house lord.
