Almost everyone knows their Sun sign but do you know your Atmakaraka, aka Soul Planet?
The Atmakaraka is a Jaimini technique that represents you. Similar to understanding the descriptions of your Sun sign, knowing your soul planet can help you learn about yourself in a new way and be more at peace with personality characteristics that are innate to who you are. The Atmakaraka is a Sanskrit term that translates to "soul indicator", "soul significator", or “the producer of the Self” in English.
When I first got into astrology, the first things I investigated were my Sun, Moon, and Ascendant signs because they exemplify who we are. At the same time, I wish I had known that there’s another self-indicator in our chart and that’s the Atmakaraka. My Mercury Atmakaraka has revealed that I'm intensely curious, I enjoy finding humor in lots of things, and I search for opportunities in seemingly hopeless places.
How Do I Find My Atmakaraka?
To find your Atmakaraka, visit the Vault of the Heavens Chart Generator by clicking here. To locate your Atmakaraka in your astrological chart, you’ll need to find the planet with the highest degree. If two or more planets have the same degree, then the planet with the highest minutes and seconds will be your Atmakaraka.
The birth chart example below shows that Jupiter (Ju) encircled in red is the highest
degree at 28 degrees and 2 minutes.
The Vault of the Heavens abbreviation guide is as follows: Su= Sun, Mo= Moon, Ma= Mars, Me=Mercury, Ju= Jupiter, Ve= Venus, Sa= Saturn.
Brief Descriptions of Each Atmakaraka
The Atmakaraka doesn’t include neither Rahu (North Node of the Moon) nor Ketu (South Node of the Moon) nor the outer planets. Also, the effects of your Atmakaraka are contingent upon your entire chart as a whole. If your Soul Planet is in a low dignity or in the same sign as Saturn, Ketu, or Rahu, along with other factors, it can affect the expression of your Soul Planet, so keep this in mind as you read the following descriptions.
