Atmakaraka PART 4

If Sukra (venus) joins Karakamsa or the 5th from it, the person becomes
a great poet; an eloquent speaker and well versed in poetry and
literature.
If Guru (jupiter) joins the Karakamsa or the 5th from it, he will be an allround man and will know many branches of knowledge, well read in
sciences and author of various works. He becomes a versatile genius.
In the above combination of Guru (jupiter), though a person becomes
learned he will not become a good speaker nor possess powers of
eloquence.
If Guru (jupiter) joins Karakamsa or the 5th from it, the person becomes
learned in Vyakarana or Grammar, Vedic literature and Vedangas.
If Sani (saturn) joins Karakamsa or the 5th from it, the person becomes
nervous in an assembly.
If Budha joins 1st or 5th of Karakamsa, he w ill shine as a
Meemamsaka.
If Kuja (mars) joins 1st or 5th of Karakamsa, the person will become a
great logician.
If Chandra (moon) joins 1st or 5th of Karakamsa, the person becomes
clever in sankhyasastra, learned in language, poetry, drama and attendant
subjects, will have great proficiency in music and other
accomplishments.
If Ravi (sun) combines in 1st or 5th of Karakamsa, the person will
become a great Vedantist and musician.

If Ketu combines in above houses, the person becomes well versed in

mathematics.
If in the above combinations of planets, Guru (jupiter) joins or aspects,
knowledge in the different branches will be well founded and regularly
trained as per principles of those sciences.
The results ascribed for planetary positions in the 1st and 5th from
Karakamsa will also hold good for similar positions in the 2nd from
Karakamsa.
Bha stands for 4 and Ya denotes 1= 41, reversed we get 14, divided by
12, the remainder is 2. Sada =Sa stands for 7, Da stands for 8 = 78, in
the inverse order we have 87, divided by 12, the balance is 3. By this the
author means, all those results from the positions of the planets in the 1st
and the Karakamsa must or may be predicted by the combination of the
above planets in the 2nd and 3rd houses from the Karakamsa.
Ketu in the 2nd from Karakamsa, aspected by evil planets, will make the
person indistinct or a slow speaker.
If evil planets are found in the 2nd and 8th houses from Janma Lagna or
the Arudha Lagna, the person will suffer from Kemadruma Yoga or
combination for great poverty. The same results apply to the positions of
planets in the 3rd from Karakamsa.
If Chandra (moon) aspects the evil planets in the above combination, the
person suffers from abject poverty. The majority consider poverty as a
great curse.
The results, mentioned in all the combinations above named, will be
experienced during all the Dasas of Rasis or in their Antardasas or
periods and subperiods of the zodiacal signs.
The colour or complexion of the person, yellow dark, golden or white
must be predicted from the nature of the Navamsa occupied by the
Atmakaraka.

Take the planet next in degrees to Amatya. karaka and find out from him
the religious tendencies of the person.
If evil planets occupy Atmakarakamsa Rasi, the person will be born of
adultery.
If the Atmakaraka is himself evil and other evil planets are not with him,
then the evil in the above sutra should not be attributed.
If Sani (saturn) and Rahu are in conjunction with Atmakarakamsa Rasi,
the person will become a notorious rake.
If in the Atmakarakamsa other evil planets than Sani (saturn) and Rahu
are conjoined, the person will not be born to another's seed, but his
mother will be immoral.
If shubha Shadwarga arises in the Atmakarakamsa in the abovementioned yogas, there will be scandal about his legitimacy but he will
be really born of his father's seed.
If there are two planets in the Atmakarakamsa, the person will become a
leader in his community.
If the 3rd and 6th houses from Atmakaraka are equal or if they are joined
by malefics, there will be Rajayogas.
If the lords of the 3rd and 6th from Lagna and Atmakaraka aspect the
latter or if the planets in those houses aspect them and if the lord of the
5th aspect them, the person becomes extremely intelligent.
If Sukra (venus) and Chandra (moon) occupy the 4th from Atmakaraka,
the person will have the paraphernalia of royalty, viz., Nagara or drums,
Noubhat, music Chatras umbrellas, Chamaras or tufts of hair-fans which
attendants keep waving about the royal personage and other signs and
emblems of royal state.

Now I shall provide some Sutras from Maharishi Parashara on the Atma
Karaka
and
Karakamsa:
Effects of Grahas in the Karakamsa. O Brahmin, if Surya (sun) is in the
Karakamsa, the native will be engaged in royal assignments. If the full
Chandra (moon) is there, he will enjoy pleasures and be a scholar, more
so, if Shukra gives a Drishti (aspect) to the Karakamsa. If strong Mangal
(mars) is in Karakamsa, he will use the weapon spear, will live through
fire and be an alchemist. Should strong Budh (mercury) be Karakamsa,
he will be skilful in arts and trading, be intelligent and educated. Guru
(jupiter) in Karakamsa denotes one, doing good acts, endowed with
spiritualism and Vedic learning. One will be endowed with longevity of
100 years, be sensuous and will look after state affairs, if Shukra (venus)
is in Karakamsa. Shani (saturn) in Karakamsa will give such livelihood,
as due to the natives family. Rahu in Karakamsa denotes a thief, a
bowman, a machinery maker and a doctor, treating poisonous afflictions.
If Ketu be in Karakamsa, one will deal in elephants and be a thief.
If the Atmakaraka is in the divisions of the Moon, Mars, or Venus, the
native will go to others' wives. Otherwise, the contrary will prevail.
O Brahmin, if there be only benefics in the Karakamsa and the Navamsa
of Lagna and be aspected by benefics, the native will undoubtedly
become a king. Should the angles/trines from the Karakmsa be occupied
by benefics devoid of malefic association, the native will be endowed
with wealth and learning. The combination of benefic and malefic will in
this context yield mixed results. It the Upakheta (or upagraha, vide sloka
5 ch. 32) is in its exaltation sign, or own/friendly sign, and is devoid of
malefic aspect, the native will go to heavens after death.
If the 2nd from Karakamsa falls in the divisions of Venus/Mars, one will
be addicted to others' wives and if Venus or mars aspect the said 2nd, the
tendency will last to death. If Ketu is the 2nd from Karakamsa in a
division of Venus/Mars, such addiction will not prevail while the
position of Jupiter will cause such an evil. Rahu in the said case will
destroy wealth.

If Rahu and Mars are in the 5th from Karakamsa, one will suffer from a
pulmonary consumption, more so if the Moon aspects them. The aspect
of Mars on the said house will bring boils or ulcers. Ketu's aspect on the
said house will cause dysentery or said diseases caused by (impure)
water. If Rahu and Gulika be in the house there will be fear from mean
people and poison. Should Mercury be in the said house, the native will
be an ascetic of the highest order or one holding staff. The Sun and Mars
in the said house respectively denote one using a knife and spear. Saturn
denotes a bowman in this context. Rahu and Ketu in the said house
respectively denote a machinist and a watch maker. Venus in the said
house will make one a poet and an eloquent speaker.
If the 10th from Karakamsa be aspected or conjoined by a benefic, the
native will have firm riches, be sagacious, strong, and intelligent. A
malefic so related will cause harm to his profession and deprive him of
paternal bliss. Mercury and Venus so related will confer many gains in
business (or profession) and will make him do many great deeds. The
luminaries so related to the 10th from Karakamsa and if be in aspect to
or conjunction with Jupiter the native will acquire a kingdom.
If the 11th from Karakamsa be aspected by or conjunct a benefic, the
native will enjoy happiness from coborn apart from gaining in every
undertaking of his. If a malefic is in the said 11th, the native will gain by
questionable means, be famous, and valorous.
If the 12th from Karakamsa has a benefic, the expenses will be on good
account while a malefic will cause bad expenses. If the said 12th be
vacant then also good effects (in respect of expenses) will follow. If
there be a benefic planet in exaltation or in own house in the 12th from
Karakamsa or if Ketu is so placed and aspected by or conjunct a benefic
one will attain heavens after death. One will attain final emancipation if
Ketu is in the 12th (from Karakamsa) identical with Aries/Sagittarius
and is aspected by a benefic. If Ketu is in the 12th from Karakamsa and
be with aspect/conjunction of a malefic one will not attain final

emancipation. If the Sun and Ketu are in the said 12th the native will
worship Lord Shiva.
The Moon and Ketu in the said 12th denotes a worshipper of Gauri (a
consort of Lord Siva). Venus and Ketu in the said 12th denotes a
worshipper of Lakshmi (a consort of Lord Vishnu) and a wealthy person.
Mars and Ketu in the said 12th denotes a worshipper of Lord
Subramanya (an offspring of Lord Siva). Rahu in the 12th from
Karakamsa will make one worship Durga or some mean diety. Ketu
alone in the said 12th house denotes Subramanya's or Ganesa's
worshipper. If Saturn is in the said 12th in a malefic's sign one will
worship mean deities. Venus and Saturn in the said 12th in a malefic's
sign will also make one worship mean deities. Similar inferences can be
drawn from the 6th Navamsa counted from Amatya Karaka's Navamsa.
O Brahmin, if there are two malefics in a trine from Karakamsa, the
native will have knowledge of Mantras (sacred spells) and Tantras
(mystical fomularies for the worship of deities for attainment of superhuman powers). If a malefic simultaneously aspects the said yoga, the
native will use these learnings for malevolent purposes while a benefic's
aspect will make him use the same for public good.
If the Moon is in the Karakamsa in aspect to Venus, the native will be an
alchemist and if be in aspect to Mercury he will be a doctor capable of
curing all diseases.
If the moon is in the a 4th form Karakamsa and be in aspect to Venus,
the native be afflicted by while leprosy; if in aspect to Mars blood and
bilious disorders, and if to Ketu black leprosy. Should Rahu and Mars be
in the 4th or 5th from Karakamsa the native will suffer form pulmonary
consumption and if there be Moons's aspect simultaneously this
affliction will be certain. Mars alone in the 4th/5th from Karakamsa will
cause ulcers. If Ketu be in the 4th or 5th from Karakamsa one will suffer
from dysentery and afflictions due to (impure) water. Rahu and Gulika in
the 4th /5th from Karakamsa will make one a doctor curing poisonous
afflcitions or will cause troubles through poison. Should Saturn be alone

in the 4th or 5th from Karakamsa, the native will be skillful in archery.
Ketu lonely placed in the 4th/5th from Karakamsa will make one a
maker of watches etc.. Mercury so placed will make one an ascetic of
the highest order or an ascetic holding staff. Rahu, Sun, and Mars
respectively in these places denote a machinist, a knife user, and a
spear/arrow user.
If malefics be in the Karakamsa, Arudha Lagna and the 2nd and 8th
from these places, there will be Kemadruma yoga; the effects of which
will be still severer if the Moon's aspect be there. The effects due for
these yogas will come to pass in the Dasa periods of the Rasis or planets
concerned. Kemadruma Yoga will operate additionally if there are
malefics in the 2nd and 8th from the Rasi whose Dasa will be in
currency. The results of such yoga will also be inauspicious. If the 2nd
and 8th in the chart cast for the beginning of a Dasa have malefics, then
also Kemadruma prevails throughout the Dasa.
Importance of the Karakamsa chart as per the Shashtyamsa chart (d-60)
is even more when compared to the Karakamsa chart as per the navamsa
chart.(as discussed in some astrological scriptures/texts).
Karakamsa chart as per the Shashtyamsa chart means:
The Place where Atmakaraka is placed in the shatyamsa chart becomes
the Karakamsa lagan as per the Shashtyamsa chart
If the above conditions are present in the Karakamsa chart as per the
Shashtyamsa chart, Then according to some scriptures/scholars,
undoubtedly the results will come to pass.
