How can we tell if the planet Atmakaraka is real or not?
According to Vedic Astrology, each planet has a good and bad influence on the native to varying degrees. Each planet represents a different facet of life. Karaka is the name for this. The astrologers have identified seven Karakas. The planets Rahu and Ketu, on the other hand, are thought to be karaka-free because they represent salvation or release. The Atmakaraka planet is the highest degree of all the karakas. The many karakas are as follows:
- The self-indicator, Atma karaka.
- Amatya karaka is a career indication.
- Bhratu karaka is a sign of siblings and fatherhood.
- Matru karaka is a mother and education indicator.
- Putra karaka is a child’s intellect and creativity indication.
- Strife, sickness, and spiritual sadhana are all indicators of Gnati karaka.
- Dara karaka is a marital and partnership indication.
The planet with the greatest longitude in the birth chart is Atmakaraka. Anyone of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, or Rahu in the kundali of the native can be the Atmakaraka Planet.
Is Rahu thought to be an Atmakaraka?
The Atmakaraka is the most important element in a chart, according to Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS). The Atmakaraka is like the King of a chart, and the other planets’ effects are determined by the King’s strength (Atmakaraka).
If the Atmakaraka is powerful, the other karakas in the chart will produce positive results, while the lesser planets will not completely manifest their negative effects.
Even though there are strong planets in the chart, if the Atmakaraka is weak, their good benefits will not be fully realized.
Out of all the planets, the Atmakaraka has covered the greatest number of degrees in the sidereal zodiac. The planet with the most degrees is this one. Check the minutes and then the seconds if two planets are in the same high degree.
Only Ketu is not an Atmakaraka among the nine Grahas (planets). Rahu is included, however his karaka location is determined by subtracting 30 degrees from him.
Is it possible for Lagna to be Atmakaraka?
If Atmakaraka is in the first house, a person is born into a noble and regal family. Even if the native is born into a poor household, he rises through the ranks and lives the life of a king. In a kundali, this normally occurs when the Lord of the Navamsa Lagna conjoins the Atmakaraka. If, on the other hand, atmakaraka aspects the Navamsa Lagna, the native is a king or queen from the moment he or she is born. Because the Sun is regarded the kaaka of the first house, the power, position, and relationships of Raja-yogas are also affected.
When does Jupiter become Atmakaraka?
An Atmakaraka is a person who has an Atmakaraka. Jupiter is known for having strong principles. When Jupiter is not afflicted, the belief becomes even more powerful. Throughout his or her life, such a person is incredibly spiritual. People born under the sign of Jupiter have high ideals. They are content when they believe they have a purpose in life. Jupiter is the planet that determines whether your life will be easy or difficult. When Jupiter is aspected by a lucky planet, it brings you good luck. Jupiter influences your personality in a variety of ways.
These indigenous people frequently push their views on others. They have a strong desire to explore every spiritual way as well as the occult and God on Earth. Because of their keen thoughts and strong beliefs, people with an Atmakaraka Jupiter can be exceptional speakers and capture an audience’s attention.
Those who have an Atmakaraka Jupiter can use their subordinates and friends to their advantage. They make no distinction between family members and strangers. They believe that everyone is on an equal footing. They are quite heated as a result of this. Jupiter is thought to be responsible for all good things that occur in a person’s life. It simply directs us all towards a higher goal. The presence of an auspicious or powerful Jupiter is generally associated with good fortune.
These people are usually the oldest, but if they have elder siblings, the connection might be difficult because they believe no one in the world is as mature as they are. Jupiter is a celestial energy that bestows inherent knowledge, wisdom, and a grasp of the virtues associated with a spiritual and genuine mind. When acting as Atmakaraka, it broadens its perspective to include the values described above. These people revere their Guru, parents, instructors, and others who have led them down the road of truth and enlightenment.
It fosters a sense of wonder and openness that comes with experience. The native’s world grows bigger as he engages with life. In other words, Jupiter’s horoscope resonance reflects how you accept new ideas, cultures, and people and allow them to enrich and enrich your life. Jupiter is a native’s greatest ally in all aspects of life, including riches, intelligence, knowledge, food, and offspring. It brings happiness and harmony into one’s life. It is a nonviolent force that prefers to defeat opponents via information and comprehension.
What is the difference between Atmakaraka and Amatyakaraka?
In the king’s hierarchy, Amatyakaraka is the second most important person. It’s the next step following Atmakarka. Amatyakaraka is an advisor to Atmakaraka, who is the king. In the life of the king, the advisor is extremely essential.
In fact, astrologically, Atmakarka is the Lord of the First House, while Amatyakarka can be compared to the 2nd Lord or even the 10th Lord in terms of financial and action value.
To assess Amatyakaraka’s performance, consider it a Karaka of the 2nd, 5th, 9th, and 10th houses. All of the homes above represent the importance of family, wealth, education, foreign travel, and professional prospects.
If you look closely, you’ll notice that Atmakaraka is the soul, and it relies on Amatyakaraka to function properly in this life. If Amatyakaraka establishes a positive relationship with Atmakaraka, the native will have a better quality of life and suffer less obstacles throughout his or her life.
Is it possible for there to be two Atmakarakas?
The terms Atma and Karaka mean’soul’ and’significator,’ respectively. The soul’s desire is symbolized by Atmakaraka. A soul comes to earth, according to Vedic philosophy, to satisfy all of its unfulfilled goals from previous lives. In all matters, the Atmakaraka, also known as Atmeshvara, is the last authority. Atmakaraka determines moksha and bondage.
The natural Atmakaraka and the movable Atmakarka are the two varieties of Atmakaraka. If the Atmakaraka approves of the native’s activity, the task is completed. If the native’s activity is not approved by the Atmakaraka, however, the task will be difficult to complete.
In all natal charts, the Sun is regarded natural Atmakaraka. Because the Sun has an influence on the core of our psyche, it is referred to as Atmakaraka. The Sun has complete control over the human body.
The Sun is associated with the soul of the universe as well as the soul of the individual ‘Atma’, according to the Rig Veda. Karaka is a director, a manipulator, and a doer. As a result, the term Atmakaraka was coined. The most important planet in the graphic is Atmakaraka. The Ishta Devta of a person is determined by the Atmakaraka. The Sun is the Solar System’s parent body. He doesn’t have any options. There is no danger of it being retrograde because it is always in the ecliptic.
The Chara Atmakaraka, also known as the moveable Atmakaraka, is the planet in the natal chart with the most degrees of all the planets. As a result, the Atmakarka is any celestial among the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus that has the highest degree in the horoscope. Ketu cannot be called Chara Atmakaraka because he is the significator of Moksha. Moksha is the ultimate goal and the destination of the soul.
What if the Sun is actually Atmakaraka?
The Sun as Atmakaraka suggests that the native must learn to transcend his ego. He should learn to be humble and reasonable. The desires to achieve fortune, fame, and power are represented by the Atmakaraka Sun. As a result, all of these can only be achieved by letting go of one’s ego and maintaining humility.
In astrology, Atmakaraka represents the soul’s hardships, as well as the correct path. It aids in the comprehension of life’s teachings. Typically, these lessons are given during Atmakaraka dashas and bhuktis. We must not underestimate the importance of identifying with materialistic goals. The fact that a soul is born on Earth indicates that the soul has a worldly task to perform before it is able to realize the higher self. In astrology, Atmakaraka will reveal both the material and spiritual desires of the individual. These objectives are difficult to comprehend properly. We can, nevertheless, be enlightened to some extent.
