Sun
Power, success and fame? Throw it at me (ok, I'm not that sure about fame)

Next in line is Sun's dispositor, neat.

So as a result, it makes one more prepared and conscious of its energies.


Aaaw that's such a great summary of what I all read, nice and fitting! And yea many thinking processes here seem to have the speed of a tornado. But well, there is a safe spot within every tornado. My job is only to find it haha.


And yess... those 12th Suns and Moons seem to have something in common

My Atmakarka is Jupiter in Gemini 2nd house conjunct my Sun in Cancer 3rd and opposite my Saturn .

"Jupiter Children, Spirituality Tolerating other's spirituality, wisdom,
putting your children before you, For women imperfect husbands"

I am not really religious and I have no desire for children. What this is telling me is to not marry OK.

Spot on ^ btw. That's also why I had to leave all forms of relgion, as I couln't see weakness or helplessness anymore. It was all "karma" which kept me from feeling the pain of others and from seeing "injustice" all over the place. They had something to "pay" u know OR they had simply created their own mess (lack of true compassion / empathy). So to summarize, "anger" has now more find a way to the big cause of all suffering: an inhuman system. So less personal inclined, thank God. Also underlined by Rahu 6th Aqua.


EDIT@ Oopz.. not Aqua ^ (that's my western mind hehe) but rahu CAP (conjunct my retro exalted ATMAKARKA Cap Mars).

not forgetting that planets aspecting or having argala on ak as well as house position also changes things up a bit on your souls purpose.

The Atmakarka shows your soul purpose, ultimate career path, who you are and what you are meant to do in life, as well as that which will give you the ultimate happiness.

The Sun is the original Atmakarka for everyone, because it's the natural signifactor of the soul of one's birth chart.


But to find your unique purpose/soul lesson, you must look at what's called the Chara-Atmakarka.

The Chara Atmakarka is the planet with the highest degree in the birth chart, the nodes can be included in this too.
But because the Nodes move backwards, you must subtract it's degree from 30. If the result is the highest number compared to the rest of your planets, then Rahu/Ketu would become your Chara-Atmakarka.

If a retrograde planet other than the Nodes is your Chara-Atmakarka, then you don't have to subtract it's degree from 30.
However do keep in mind that a retrograde Chara-Atmakarka will be the most challenging, but it's lessons and rewards would be more fruitfull as a result.

Below is a list of planets and their lessons:

SUN: Lessons involving the father and fatherhood. Learning to be in power, achieve fame and success without having the ego involved.

MOON: Lessons involving the mother and motherhood, learning to nurture and care for others selflessly, as well as love oneself selflessly.

MERCURY: Lessons involving honest communication and using ones intelligence for the higher good.

VENUS: Lessons on finding harmony and balance in all types of relationships, learning to compromise, give and receive, love.

MARS: Lessons on controlling anger and dealing with passion in a healthy way. Learning to take a stand and be assertive, learning to defend those who are helpless or weak.

JUPITER: Lessons involving religion, spirituality, God/source. Learning to integrate the teacher/student roles into one.

SATURN: Lessons regarding realism and the material. Lessons regarding practicality, patience, and discipline. Learning to find happiness in loneliness.

RAHU: Lessons regarding greed, obsession and unhealthy hunger for something. Learning to be detached and not get caught up in the Maya (illusion of the material world) and develop ones spirituality/connection to Source.


What's your Atmakarka?

Lol no.

Jupiter is all about understanding things from a higher perspective, as well teaching (by example), hence why it's called "Guru" — meaning master/teacher.

Jupiter also rules astrology so it makes sense that you'd be drawn to it since Jupiter's your atmakarka. This means you'd get the most soul satisfaction from it the more you expand your knowledge on it.

To see further details on marriage/children, check the position of Venus, Jupiter, ASC lord & DESC lord in your Navamsha (D9) and Saptamsha (D7) charts.

D9 signifies marriage and the underlying results of your main birth chart planets, while the D7 rules your creations, aka children.

Same here, I know exactly what you mean.
Religion is simply not my cup of tea. I find it extremely oppressive and limiting of one's truest potential/connection to oneself. Well, atleast the religion my parents raised me in.

I found it rather separated me from my own knowing and trust within myself. It put me in fear mode, made me feel vulnerable and paranoid, thinking that my life was is the hands of an entity outside of myself. And if I didn't "please" that entity by constantly following certain strict rules, I'll be put in eternal hell fire.
Yeah no. So glad I came out of it.

I am currently in a very tough situation in which I'm obligated to conform to performing certain religious rituals, because of my family. They dragged me on this pilgrimage thing and I've never felt so trapped, oppressed and frustrated my entire life.
Everyone around here is living in so much fear and delusion, it drives me crazy.

That's Jupiter mahadasha for me lol. It's a functional malefic in my chart, ruling 6th (obstacles) & 9th (religion). It's conjunct Rahu so it's giving me mixed results. Rahu makes me wanna rebel and call them out on their ways, but I don't want no trouble lol.

It's such a relief to finally let go right. You feel so much more self empowered.

I guess this a lesson in and of itself. Although I still don't know what kind of a lesson, but I feel this experience is probably neccesary, perhaps so I can appreciate my freedom more once I'm independent and living on my own lol.

Jupiter is my atmakarka after all hehe

My Atmakarka is my Venus Capricorn(7th House)

The planet with the second highest degree is my Sun(Original chara-atmakarka.)

So according to vedic astrology, Venus things(Love, balance, etc) will fulfill my Sun. Well, with Mars-Saturn also crammed up in Capricorn 7th, my life hasn't exactly gone as planned.

My political aspirations, literally doused this year . So, what gives? Lol. 24 yrs old and still searching for life's meaning XD.

My Atmakarka is Sagittarius 9th house. My Chara Atmakarka or lesson to learn is Mercury in 8th house.

quote:
MERCURY: Lessons involving honest communication and using ones intelligence for the higher good.

8th house is the unknown, occult, investigation, secrets...

Sag is higher learning, expansion. Mercury is communication, education...

Still processing this

ketu is significator of moksha and freedom from all bondages, so ketu is never part of atmakaraka/charakarka scheme, rahu can be AK if highest degree counted from reverse as mentioned below

i have Rahu atmakaraka

from what i have read about rahu atmakaraka, i feel i experience it as described,

i feel i have very few strong base material desires, apart from that not many mundane desires which seize me and i feel quite detached and demotivated to pursue other common desires which i see people around me have

here is a good explanation of rahu AK

> If Rahu, the most base and materialistic of all planets is himself
responsible(as atmakaraka) for leading one to God, the chances of
the native deviating from God conciousness is very low. The other
grahas are undoubtedly milder in their propensity to engage the
native in sense gratification when compared to Rahu.This is the
understanding of why someone with Rahu as AK could be very spiritual.


Atmakaraka are the planets occupying highest no of degerees in a sign in zodiac, The reasoning behind the Atmakaraka theory is a planet moving ahead leaves it's impact in an incremental manner.

Rahu is mostly misunderstood as Atmakaraka and wrongly conected to spiritual enlightenment, Rahu is maya a myriad of ambitions !!

An unanswerred question is why Rahu is found as Atmakaraka in highly evolved saint's birth chart, the answer is crisp and pretty simple, Unlike other planets Rahu moves in reverse motion, It becomes Atmakaraka when it's leaving a sign thus sign is getting free from the affliction, Rahu in the border degrees from 5 to 0 in the reverse order is indicates it's negative impact is reducing every minute thus it shows a person who has got Rahu as Atmakaraka is on a process to reduce Maya or Moha that Rahu indicates, Atmakaraka Rahu shows freedom from the Maya or Moha, this is the reason great saints like Sri Ramakrishna etc have got Rahu as atmakaraka.

There is an exception to notice, When Rahu is bellow 15 degrees and still a Atmakaraka that won't indicate a status in which person is free from the Maya as Rahu has to travel a lot and still cast dense shadow of Maya to such a person's vision, keeping such exceptions in mind while understanding and applying Atkamakarka theory on a chart will help you out
