Karakamsa and Swamsa

The sign your Atmakaraka occupies in the Navamsa is the Karakamsa. Jaimini reads it as the soul’s direction; the 12th house from it is traditionally used to suggest your ishta devata. The Karakamsa chart places the birth-chart planets from that sign; the Swamsa chart places the Navamsa planets from it.

Frequently asked questions

What does my Atmakaraka mean?

It points to the main lesson of the soul in this life: the Sun to ego and authority, Venus to relationships and pleasure, Saturn to patience and service, and so on.

Is Rahu ever the Atmakaraka?

In the eight-karaka scheme it can be. We use the common seven-karaka scheme (Sun to Saturn).
