How is Darakaraka calculated in Vedic astrology?
In the classical 7-Karaka Jaimini system (BPHS and Jaimini Sutras), the seven starry planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) are sorted by their longitude within their zodiac sign (0° to 30°) from highest to lowest. The planet with the highest degree is the Atmakaraka (AK, soul significator), and the planet with the lowest degree is the Darakaraka (DK, spouse significator).
What is the difference between the 7-Karaka and 8-Karaka Jaimini system?
The 7-Karaka scheme ranks only the seven physical planets (Sun through Saturn) into 7 roles (Atmakaraka down to Darakaraka). The 8-Karaka scheme includes Rahu (measured from the end of its sign as 30° minus degree_in_sign because Rahu moves retrograde) and adds Pitrukaraka as the 5th role before Putra, Gnati, and Dara.
What is Karakamsha in Jaimini astrology?
Karakamsha is the zodiac sign occupied by your Atmakaraka (soul planet) in the Navamsa (D9) divisional chart. It reveals your deepest spiritual inclination, inner calling, and soul-level dharmic path.
