Amsha section or portion
Chara atmakaraka
Atma-Karaka = the chara atmakaraka of the Jaimini Karaka" group.
-
Chara = 'moving' or"temporal" .
-
atmakaraka = the planet occupying the highest degree in the entire chart during 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.)
-
Also, BPHS 32: 31-33 says that Tanu bhava-1 = a significator of the self-soul
-
Also, the term"atmakaraka" may be used to denote the Lord of the Arudha Lagna
1.Karakamsha= the navamsha rashi of the Atmakaraka.
Locate this rashi in radix
In this usage, the Karakamsa Rashi =
The navamsha rashi occupied by the Atmakaraka planet,
The karakamza = one of the 12 rashi.
-
The karakamza rashi may be utilized for predictions within the radix D-1, within the navamsha D-9, or within any of the varga divisional charts
The "karakamsha lagna" the Karakamsa Rashi = can be located and utilized within any varga, including radix or navamsha.
As utilized within the radix D-1 which is the varga of social and physical materialization, the Karakamsha lagna = the greatest materialization success, or most notable achievements, or behavior for which the native will become 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.
-
Graha in 12th from atmakaraka or Lord of the 12th bhava from atmakaraka within the navamsha is said to indicate the nature of the Ishta-Devata, one's guiding spirit in life. This guiding spirit may be a deity who is well known or a private assistant who serves as agent and messenger, missionary, envoy, apostle, on the astral plane.
-
For example, if 12th-from-Karakamsha contains Ketu, the ishtadevata = Shri Ganapati.
2.Karakamsha= lord of the Arudha lagna
To find the karakamsha lagna which = the rashi of the lord of the arudha lagna:
-
count the number of houses from the kundali indriya-lagna to the lagnesha = lord of kundali indriya-lagna
-
starting from the lagnesha, count the same number of houses forward
-
This house contains the arudha lagna.
-
Now locate the house containing the lord of the arudha lagna.
-
By some commentators the bhava containing the lord of the arudha lagna is called the // karakamsha //
Q: Respected madam, Namaskar.
Atmakaraka determination
I am confused again about determination of Atmakarka.
Should it be Rahu in the last seconds of the rashi subtracting for the reverse motion, or Shani?
A: Normally, Rahu or Ketu are not used as atma-karaka. They are not deities. They cannot be significators of the soul. However, other respected practitioners of the vidya do say that they use Rahu-Ketu as atma-karaka. Each practitioner uses their own judgment.
Use Shani or any other graha that has mass (no upgraha).
~~ Barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotishavidya
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.
Karakamsha in every varga does show public perception about one's work and the significance of one's social role performance .
The more"personal" internal emotional and spiritual indicators are usually D-9 for"mirroring" partnership interaction, Chandra in all charts, Rahu-Ketu especially in their relationship to Chandra, and any of the specific varga charts which may speak to the specific relationship e.g. D-3 = siblings, D-12 = parents, D-4 = schoolteachers (not university professors but conventional school teachers) .
The more"public" external professional and material performance indicators are usually the karakamsha+ karmesha 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 = kundali indriya-lagna , one's public destiny becomes exceptionally strong and tied to the physical appearance.
Since the kundali indriya-lagna is half of the"relationship axis " formed by bhava-1 and bhava-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.

Total Surrender 1910-1997 Mother Teresa of Kolkata
However, normally the karakamsha would not figure into a marriage compatibility assessment.
Example karakamsha
D-1 karakamsha = Kumbha bhava-8 = fear of the unknown, occult mystery, secrets, terror, conditions of death.
Example of Jaimini karakamsha lagna = bhava-8 Conditions of dematerialization
Total Surrender 1910-1997 Mother Teresa of Kolkata death-healer of the destitute
-
Within the Navamsha showing etheric body and spiritual orientation, Mother Teresa's atmakaraka = the intensely nurturing and utterly inclusive (no-one is excluded, ever) [uchcha-Guru-yuti-Ketu + Surya] . Within the navamsha, Guru occupies Guru-ruled Punarvasu nakshatra.
-
Within the radix-1 showing social-material manifestation of the intent (atma) the Karakamsha lagna = radix randhra-bhava-8 = Conditions of dematerialization
-
radical karakamsha Karkata is greatly strengthened via the parivartamsha yoga between Rahu-amplified Chandra and Shukra-Karkata
-
This nativity script uses the sudden and forceful upheavals of identity (8) which occur during the process of physical death and other traumatic identity-changing disaster-catastrophe-transformations (8) in order to accomplish the atma = soul's highest purpose.
-
Atmakaraka = planet holding the highest degree in radix = Guru (Preacher-Teacher-Professor-High Priest) = 2 1:23 Kanya in radical bhava-10 public visibility, leadership. Importantly, atmakaraka Guru shares radical Kanya with [uchcha-Budha]-10 granting the native a panchamahapurusha yoga for public recognition.
Example of Jaimini Karakamsha lagna:
UK-PM Finest Hour 1874-1965 Winston Churchill , one of the triumvirate leaders of Allied Forces in World-War-II
-
Atmakaraka = planet of highest degree in radix = Shukra * diplomacy, alliances * = 29:35 Vṛścika
-
Shukra occupies Meena - Antya navamsha= musical or artistic genius
-
Radix Karakamsha = bhava-9 = Meena = faith, ideology, principles of belief, convictions, doctrine
-
Churchill was most well known for his extraordinary inspirational speeches delivered to the exhausted citizens of Britain during the Blitzkriegs of World War-2. He was also a scholarly historian of high order. WC was awardedthe Nobel Prize for Literature, 1953 for his widely admired histories (9 dharma, worldview, principled interpretations).
-
Shani and Kuja cast drishti upon Meena-9, indicating the vigor [Kuja] and the duty [Shani] delivering the inspirational messages (9).
-
[Atmakaraka] relationships, agreement, alliances, finance, negotiation, equity, visual arts, deal-maing
-
Shukra-navamsha-9 = brilliantly exalted, indicating WC's remarkable artistic creativity as both a fine-arts painter and a scholar. In addition to a being one of the most recognized figures of the 20th century in the West, Churchill was also a productive painting artist and sculptor. His soul may be understood to have desired to live through his paintings and sculpture along with his sermons and written tomes.
-
The Atmakaraka of UK-PM 1874-1965 Finest Hour Winston Churchill = Shukra exalted in navamsha. Shukra = not only his personal, intimate and spiritual (navamsha) pleasure in fine arts but also his Shukra-defined public behaviors = balancing, negotiating, deal-making, accommodation. He was also a lifelong alcoholic [Shukra] but until advanced old age there was never any evidence that his drinking impeded his performance. In fact, the steady dosing of alcohol may have been medicinal to keep him going.
-
As a negotiator [Shukra] Churchill remains greatly admired. Britain's resources both material and psychological had been exhausted during the previous WW-1 and much of Churchill's institutional responsibility consisted of working out deals with other power-nations for sustaining support and supplies. Churchill is remembered as a master broker and alliance-builder on behalf of the war-weakened British government during WW-2
Example: POTUS-32 Fireside Chats 1882-1945 Franklin D. Roosevelt= karakamsha Vṛścika-1 unique personal identity
According to this method, Franklin D. Roosevelt should have been best known for his Radio Communications [Rahu in bhava-3] . FDR made extensive and skillful use of the new technology of radio. He wrote nearly all of his own radio scripts.
A century after his radio addresses were delivered [3] FDR's signature slogan [3] "We have nothing to Fear but Fear Itself" is indelibly associated with his challenging reign at POTUS-32.
He is well-remembered for his radio talks, press briefings, and newspaper articles during a series of catastrophic upheavals in American life: the Great Depression followed immediately by WW-2.
Secretaries [3] FDR did have some powerful but camouflaged ]Vrischika] communications help from his irreplaceable personal secretary [3] Missy LeHand and from his wife's former secretary, FDR's secret partner Lucy Mercer. After Missy LeHand died, FDR died only a few months later.
Due to empowered [Mangala in bhava-10] [Mangala-Mithuna] [Kuja-yuti-Chandra] ruler of [vargottamsha] [Rahu-Vṛścika] FDR
Jaimini Method =
-
Atmakaraka = planet of highest degree in radix = Guru = 24:43 Mesha
-
Guru occupies super-powered transformative Vṛścika [10th navamsha]
-
Atmakaraka Guru in the 10th navamsha indicates that FDR's soul focus on a personal level would become world governance on a planetary level, under traumatic circumstances forcing sacrifice and rebirth [vargottamsha] [Rahu-Vṛścika]
-
FDR's material expression of the soul's passion = intense, barrier-bending, taboo-twisting communication [Rahu-3] crossing established social-class boundaries and breaking-bending rules [Rahu] in a time of emergency [Vṛścika secrets, disaster ++ ruler Kuja-10 elite position]. Notably, he was elected to an unprecedented 12 years of POTUS-32, an empowerment which was never allowed before or since
-
Rahu = over-reaching, mesmerizing privilege, opportunity, and exceptionalism.
