Jaimini Karakas
Atmakaraka, Karakamsha
Lord of the Arudha Lagna
kAraka
- making , doing , acting , who or what does or produces or creates
- intending to act or do
Atmakaraka:
Karaka = "significator"
Atma = 'soul'
Atma-karaka = "significator of the Soul"
There are at least two uses for the term Atmakaraka.
Atma-Karaka= the "natural atmakaraka" = Surya.
Atma-Karaka = the "chara atmakaraka" . Chara = 'moving'. The chara or "temporal" atmakaraka = the planet occupying the highest degree in the entire chart in the current lifetime.
For "chara" atmakaraka = Of all the planets in all the 12 signs, one of them will have the superior degree. Even if there is more than one planet occupying 29 degrees of any sign, within those 29 degree planets only one will be the closest to 29:29:29.
(No doubt there will be extremely rare cases where this is not so; and that fact itself would signify an extraordinary birth.)
(Quite probably the graha which occupies the highest degree in one's radix chart will change at the onset of the next lifetime...)
The atmakaraka is interpreted in a variety of ways. One common view is that the atmakaraka graha indicates a particular "soul lesson" which the native is ripe to learn. Another interpretation is that atmakaraka reveals the soul's "true passion". In practice, these two versions of the signification of the atmakaraka are not so different. Generally speaking, if the atmakaraka is a malefic the human experience associated with this graha will tend to feel more like a "lesson" while a benefic atmakaraka will create an experience of high pleasure or passion.
Additional Jaimini Karakas:
Atma karaka = graha with highest degree of its rashi within radix = 1st house indicator
Amatya karaka graha with second-highest degree of its rashi within radix = 2nd and 10th house indicator
Bhatri karaka = graha with third-highest degree of its rashi within radix = 3rd and 9th house indicator
Matri karaka = graha with fourth-highest degree of its rashi within radix = 4th house indicator
Putra karaka = graha with fifth highest degree of its rashi within radix = 5th house indicator
Dara karaka = Stri karaka = graha with sixth-highest degree of its rashi within radix = 7th house indicator
Gnati karaka = graha with seventh-highest degree of its rashi within radix = 6th, 8th, & 12th house indicator
** some schools of thought allow Rahu to be an ordinal karaka, but I personally do not consider Rahu one of the seven ordinal karakas.
Karakamsha:
"Karaka" = a general term for "significator"
"Amsha" = "section" or "portion".
There are several different uses for the term "karakamsha" in the literature, because "karaka" signifies several different things.
1. Karakamsha = the navamsha rashi of the Atmakaraka.
Locate this rashi in radix
In this usage, the Karakamsa Sign =
the navamsha rashi occupied by the Atmakaraka planet,
within the radix chart
The "karakamsha lagna" = the Karakamsa Sign as located within the radix.
The Karakamsha lagna, located in the radix, indicates the greatest success, or highest purpose, or how the native will be best known. Karakamsha shows for what *actions* the native will be most productive and best known by the public.
See examples of karakamsha lagna below.
2. Karakamsha = lord of the Arudha lagna :
To find the karakamsha lagna which = the sign of the lord of the arudha lagna:
count the number of houses from the radix lagna to the lagnesha (lord of radix lagna)
starting from the lagnesha, count the same number of houses forward
This house the arudha lagna.
The house containing the lord of the arudha lagna is called the "karakamsha".
Example of Jaimini karakamsha lagna:
Martha Kostyra Stewart, the "Goddess of Domesticity"
Businesswoman, principal of the "Martha Stewart Living" multi-media domestic goods empire
Atmakaraka = planet of highest degree in radix = Kuja = 23:15 Meena
Kuja occupies Makara navamsha
"Karakamsha lagna" in the radix = domain-4 = Makara = house, home, domesticity, education, cultural roots, mother's house, patriotism, nationalism, lands and properties.
Example of Jaimini karakamsha lagna:
Mother Teresa of Kolkata, healer of the unwanted and abandoned
Atmakaraka = planet of highest degree in radix = Chandra = 25:26 Mesha
Chandra occupies Vrischika navamsha
"Karakamsha lagna" in the radix = domain-1 = Vrischika = self, appearance, physical body, individual social personality.
Ketu in Vrischika lagna suggests that the personality is perceived as detached and saintly (cf. Jackie Kennedy). Ketu also gives the connection to homelessness, abandonment and despair.
Mother Teresa's atmakaraka Moon in 12th navamsha shows her tantric, mystical healing passion for sanctuary and prayer,
but the karakamsha lagna matching her radix lagna shows that she will need to use her physical body and social personality in order to accomplish her soul's greatest desire.
Example of Jaimini karakamsha lagna:
Sir Winston Churchill, leader of Allied Forces in World War II
Atmakaraka = planet of highest degree in radix = Shukra = 29:55 Vrischikha
Shukra occupies Meena navamsha
"Karakamsha lagna" in the radix = domain-7 = Meena = negotiations, contracts, agreements, partnerships, alliances, advising, counseling
Churchill was most well known for his negotiations with world leaders on behalf of Britain and his ability to form crucial alliances in a time of great danger.
Shani and Kuja cast drishti upon Meena, indicating the stress and the effort.
Churchill is still widely considered to have been a savior of democracy in the West.
However, in terms of "life lessons" Atmakaraka Shukra is brilliantly exalted in navamsha lagna. Churchill's true passion was art, and his soul may be understood to have desired to live through his paintings and sculpture above all.
Winston Churchill's atmakaraka, the exalted Shukra in navamsha lagna (see chart below) shows his personal, intimate and spiritual (navamsha) passion for painting,
yet his karakamsha lagna in radix (material world responsibilities & vocation) in domain-7 of negotiations and agreements, indicates his role as a tremendous agreement-broker and alliance-builder during the British suffering in WWII.
Example of "karakamsha lagna", in the usage = "sign of the lord of the sign of the Arudha lagna":
from Kanya lagna to Budha lord of Kanya = six house
from Budha, count another six houses forward (starting in Budha's house)
six from Budha = Karkata
Karkata = arudha lagna
lord of Karkata = Chandra
Chandra occupies Mithuna
Mithuna = "karakamsha lagna"
According to this method, Franklin D. Roosevelt should have been best known for his vigorous, extensive, and emotionally accessible Communications. That conclusion is certainly supportable!
Following the Jaimini method for Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Atmakaraka = planet of highest degree in radix = Guru = 24:43 Mesha
Guru occupies Vrischikha navamsha
Atmakaraka Guru in the social Thula 11th navamsha indicates that FDR's soul passion on a personal level would be socializing with large groups, enjoying refined relationships, and building community wisdom
"Karakamsha lagna" in the radix = domain-3 = Vrischikha = would show FDR's material expression of the soul's passion = intense, taboo-breaking communications which challenge cultural boundaries in a time of emergency.
This interpretation of FDR's life is also quite supportable!
IMO, both of these methods work very well and it is the Jyotishi's decision as to which method one prefers.

Ch 2
19. If the lords of the second and the eighth from Lagna are strong and occupy Kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) Panapharas (2, 5, 8,11) and Apoklimas (3, 6, 9, 12),
they cause respectively long, middle and short lives. In the same way we have to consider the lords of the second and the eighth house from the Atmakaraka also.
20. When the Atmakaraka is in the ninth from the seventh of Janma Lagna,
the meaning conveyed by the previous Sutra has to be interpreted differently.
22. When the eighth houses from Lagna and the seventh have the Atmakaraka or when they are with the Atmakaraka,
then the terms of longevity mentioned in Sutra 19 should be reduced.
24. The same reduction applies when the Atmakaraka is between malefics or when malefics are in his trine (houses 5 and 9 from him).
25. The same reduction of a Kakshya arises if the Atmakaraka is a malefic, is debilitated, is not in his exaltation sign, and is with malefic.
27. Even if Jupiter is the Atmakaraka, the reduction or addition of a Kakshya is to be determined as per the Sutras 2.1.23 to 2.1.26.
29. The period of (the Dasha) of a sign is reduced (a) when Saturn becomes the Atmakaraka or joins the Atmakaraka; (b) When Saturn is in the second or twelfth from Lagna or the seventh; (c) when Saturn is in a trine from Lagna or the seventh; (d) when Saturn is in the second or twelfth from Atmakaraka or from the seventh from him.
46. The lord of the eighth from the Atmakaraka is called Mahesvara.
47. When the Atmakaraka is exalted or is in his own house, then note who is stronger among the lords of the eighth and twelfth from Atmakaraka. The stronger one will then be Mahesvara.
48. When the Atmakaraka is with Rahu or Ketu, or when Rahu or Ketu is in the eighth from Atmakaraka, then find out the lord of the eighth from Atmakaraka. He then becomes Mahesvara.
53. The lord of the eighth from Atmakaraka and the one occupying the eighth also claim to be Brahma.
57. From the Atmakaraka or Janma Lagna take the lords of the third, eighth and twelfth houses. The strongest among these beings about death.
16. The planets in the Kendras, Panapharas, and Apoklimas from the Atmakaraka have declining strength.
11. Now Jaimini speaks about Karaka Kendra Dasha. The signs that are in Kendra, Panaphara and Apoklima from the Atmakaraka, have each a duration of nine years. When the Atmakaraka is in an odd sign, the Dashas proceed as 1, 4, 7, 10, 2, 5, 8, 11, 3, 6, 9, 12. If Atmakaraka is in an even sign, the sequence follows the signs from the beginning one in this manner: 1, 10, 7, 4, 12, 9, 6, 3, 11, 8, 5 and 2. These figures are given in the normal way of counting. Each sign has a duration of nine years, as the Sutra 2.4.13 explains.
13. Find whether Lagna or its seventh is stronger. If the stronger one is an odd sign the counting is clock-wise. Otherwise it is anti-clockwise. From the stronger of these two, count up to the sign where the Atmakaraka is situated. The years equivalent to the larger number are the years for Karaka Dasha. When there are other planets with the Atmakaraka, they too will have the same number of years. In the same way we have to fix the years for the other planets also.
31. When the Atmakaraka is in a Vishama pada sign, the sequence of the sub-periods is in the clock-wise manner. If he is in a Sama pada sign the sequence is anti-clockwise.
32. When the Atmakaraka is an even sign, the sequence of the sub-periods is anti-clockwise.
33. According to some authors, that as we count clock-wise or anti-clockwise with reference to the sign occupied by the Atmakaraka, we have to count in the same manner also from the sign occupied by Saturn.
Chapter 3
ch 3
7. If Venus, Mars and Ketu are jointly or separately placed with the Atmakaraka, in the second and in the fourth the native becomes a king or ruler.
15. When the Moon and Venus are associated with the sign of the Atmakaraka and with the fourth house there is a Rajayoga.
27. If the lord of the Lagna and the Atmakaraka are exalted in the Navamsha, or if an exalted planet aspects them, the native is a king or comes from a noble family.
28. The native coming from a royal or noble family is explained in Sutras 26 and 27. When there is a malefic conjunction with or aspect on Karakamsha Lagna and Janma Lagna: one may argue that the native does not come from a noble (or royal) family. Even then it should be noted that this denial is applicable if the Atmakaraka is subject to malefic influences.
30. The possession of royal emblems or of royalty is to be determined from the Atmakaraka, from Janma Lagna, and from the fifth house.
7. When the seventh from the Atmakaraka has Saturn, death comes in the first part of the Kakshya.
9. If Ketu is in the seventh from Atmakaraka, death is in the third part of the concerned Kakshya.
11-13. One set is the third from Lagna and Atmakaraka. The second set is the eleventh from these. Each set has two factors. If the two factors are in cardinal signs (Chara), there is long life. If they are in fixed signs, they give medium life. If they are in common signs, there is short life.
15. This method of determining longevity should be applied to the third houses and the eleventh houses from the Atmakaraka, Lagna, and the Moon.
16. If Saturn is with the Atmakaraka or the Moon, or if he is in Lagna, one Kakshya gets reduced.
17. One Kakshya gets reduced if Saturn is in the twelfth, fourth or sixth from Atmakaraka, Lagna, or the Moon.
31. When malefics or the Rudra occupy the eighth house from the Moon and Lagna, or the eighth from the Atmakaraka and his seventh, the native dies in the period of the Dvara Rashi.
17. When the eighth house from Lagna or the Atmakaraka, and the third houses from the Navamshas of Arudha and Dara pada are afflicted by malefics, the native has an unnatural death.
24. The conjunction of Rahu and the Moon in the third or eighth from Lagna or Atmakaraka, brings about death as per the nature of the signs involved.
32. When the eighth from the Lagna or Atmakaraka is aspected by Scorpio or Leo, death arises from mice and other such creatures.
33-34. If Saturn is in the second from the Atmakaraka the native dies by consuming poison and the like.
35. If the eighth or the second house from the Atmakaraka has the conjunction or aspect of Mercury, death is from vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery and the like.
36. The nature of death will be explained with reference to the sixth and second houses from the Navamsha sign occupied by the Atmakaraka; and the reference is to the zodiacal signs mentioned by letters.
59. When the Kaulakas of the Trimsamsa of the Atmakaraka are afflicted, the results are diseases and the like.
60. If the Atmakaraka is in the first Kaulaka, there will be ailments concerning the forehead.
61. If the Atmakaraka is in the second Kaulaka and is afflicted, the ailment is related to the hair.
62. If the Atmakaraka is in the afflicted third Kaulaka the complaints involve blood.
63. If the Atmakaraka is in the afflicted fourth Kaulaka, there are diseases of the eye.
67. When Saturn and Gulika are together in the Kaulaka falling in the second part and if it refers to the six signs behind the Atmakaraka, the ailments refer to the mouth, gullet, throat, neck and the like.
70. If the Sun is in the Navamsha sign of the seventh from the Atmakaraka, the native dies because of the choking of the excretory system.
73. When the eighth from the Navamsha sign of the seventh from Atmakaraka is Aquarius, the native will be struck by hail or lightening.
74-75. When the eleventh from the Navamsha sign of the seventh from Janma Lagna falls in Aquarius, the native is waylaid on his way by a group of enemies. If the Atmakaraka is placed in an odd sign or in a Vishama pada sign and if the twelfth from the Navamsha sign of the seventh is Aquarius, the native will be killed by his enemies.
99. The nature of death is to be judged from the eighth from Lagna, from the third house from the Atmakaraka, from the Navamsha sign of the sixth, and from the sixth from Karakamsha.
100. If the Atmakaraka is in any one of the places mentioned in the previous sutra, the native falls down from a high position.
102. If the eighth from Lagna, the third from Atmakaraka, the sixth of Navamsha, or the sixth of Karakamsha is Sagittarius, he is conscious at the time of his death.
126-127. Death of the native is to be determined from the third house of a cardinal Lagna or from a cardinal sign occupied by the Atmakaraka. If the Lagna or the Atmakaraka is in a fixed sign, death is to be determined from the second house. If it is a common sing, we have to consider the fourth sign.
10. Conception is also possible if the Sun is in the sign of the Atmakaraka, or in the third or ninth from that sign.
26. The Dvadasamsa of the Atmakaraka or of the lord of Adhana Lagna determines the nature of the sperm.
46. White, blue and other colors of the child are to be determined by the lord of the Navamsha in which the Atmakaraka is placed.
56. All these defects or merits will take place during the periods of the second signs from the Adhana Lagna and from the periods of the second signs from the Atmakaraka of the Adhana Lagna.
Chapter 4
53-54. If the fifth house referred to in Sutra 52 is aspected by or associated with the Moon and Rahu, then the child will be definitely subjected to sorrow. If the Moon and Rahu are together in ninth from the Atmakaraka or Lagna, the child will assume the nature of the destroyer of every thing.
11. In the above combination for twins there is a danger of miscarriage of the fetuses if the lord of the sign occupied by the Atmakaraka is strong.
12. If the eighth signs from Lagna and the Atmakaraka are strong, the delivery takes place one month earlier than it is due.
17. If the second houses from Adhana Lagna and the Atmakaraka are strong, the delivery is in the tenth month and it is a safe delivery.
20. Then determines the Pranas that have elapsed after sunrise by adding the longitude of the Atmakaraka (in minutes) to the longitude of the Adhana Lagna.
21. Deduct the longitude of the Atmakaraka from the longitude of the Hora Lagna. The result will be longitude of the lagna at birth.
27. If Saturn is present in the second house and is with Jupiter or aspected by Jupiter,
the child is fit to be consigned to the waters at Adam's Bridge near Ramesvaram.
[BPL note: Adam's Bridge is better known as Rama's Bridge, the link between Shri Lanka & the subcontinent mainland - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam's_Bridge ]
If this Saturn is associated with Jupiter is the trinal signs (1, 5, 9) from the Atmakaraka, then also the child has to be abandoned.
34. The ascendant at birth can be the fourth from the Adhana Lagna or from the Atmakaraka of this Lagna.
76. If the Moon is in the third from Lagna, Atmakaraka ,or Varnada Lagna in the Navamsha,
she becomes a widow early in life.
108. If the Trimsamsa of the Atmakaraka falls in the sign of his debilitation,

Q:
Namaskar,
Can the Karakamsha axes be used in assessing the marriage compatibility, as you have used for cross-over matching axes with Lagnas of D-9, Chandra, and Rahu -Ketu. Can these be included for more finer compatibility matching?
My Karakamsha axis will match her Lagna axis, and her Karakamsha axis matches my Navamsha Moon axis. Is it true that the more the axes matchings is better the Compatibility?
Can this be considered?
Best Regards
A:
So far as I know, the Karakamsha does not have an important influence on interpersonal compatibility.
The more "personal" internal emotional and spiritual indicators are usually D-9 for spouse, Chandra in all charts, Rahu-Ketu, and any of the specific varga charts which may speak to the specific relationship e.g. D-12 for parents or D-3 for siblings.
The more "public" external professional and material performance indicators are usually the karakamsha, L-10 in D-1 and D-9, the D-10 and all their cross-matchings.
Karakamsha in the usage = navamsha rashi of the graha holding the highest degree, as that rashi is positioned relative to janma lagna and chandra lagna in radix, is most specifically a predictor of the substance and style of the native's performance in public life.
For some people, there is only a very thin boundary between one's public life and one's private life. When the karakamsha = radix lagna, one's public destiny becomes exceptionally strong and tied to the physical appearance. Since the radix lagna is half of the "relationship axis" formed by house-1 and house-7, there might be some nativities in which the karakamsha = lagna does indeed suggest that karakamsha characteristics do play a large role in the marriage dynamics. (E.g., Mother Teresa of Kolkata).
However normally the karakamsha would not figure into a marriage compatibility assessment.
