सामान्य प्रश्न

What is Atmakaraka in Vedic astrology?

The Atmakaraka is the planet with the highest degree in your birth chart. In Jaimini astrology, this planet is considered the 'soul significator' — the lord of your soul's journey in this incarnation. It represents the deepest karmic theme and the most significant lesson your soul has chosen for this life. The themes of your Atmakaraka planet (e.g., Venus = relationships, Saturn = discipline and loss, Sun = authority and self-identity) will be recurring and deeply significant in your life experience.
