What is Darakaraka Planet

The planet which has the Lowest degree in a chart is Called Darakaraka Planet. So this planet travels the Least distance in a Sign. In vedic astrology Darakaraka is the Significator of Wife or Life Partner. Dara Means Wife and Karaka Means Significator. This placement of this planet in the Horoscope will determine our relationship with Spouse and happiness in Married Life.

The planet Which gets highest Degree in a Sign is called Atmakaraka and this is the controller of the Horoscope or its Like King. Its relationship with Darakaraka will determine our married Life.

This is a Special astrological concept given by Sage Jaimini thousands of years ago and after that Eminent Astrologers Like Mr. B.V.Raman, Mr. K.N Rao, Mr.Sanjay Rath has done extensive research on this.

If we follow Jaimini Method of Astrology, All the Significations of 7^th house comes under the purview of Darakaraka planet Like Marriage, Spouse, Business partnership etc. It is not only indicator of Spouse but it is also indicator of Wealth or Money as well.

Sage Jaimini has divided the planets in 7 Categories. These are called Charakaraka. Chara means dynamic and Karaka is the Significator. As the name Suggests these Karakas are not fixed. They changes in every horoscope according to the placement of planets in the Rasi chart.

Lets Understand this concept with an example. Venus is the Significator of Marriage and it is fixed for every Horoscope. We will check the condition of Venus for Marriage and Relationship. This is called fixed Karaka or Significator. But Darakaraka is not Same and it changes in every chart according to the degree of Planets in a Horoscope. In Some chart Sun can get the Lowest Degree and become the Darakaraka whereas in Some cases Moon can get the Lowest Degree to become the Darakaraka depending on the date of birth and time.

There is a debate of 7 Karaka or 8 Chara karaka. Some Astrologers take Rahu into consideration and Some do not. We use 7 Karaka System and do not include Rahu as Darakaraka or any Karaka. We have found good results with this.

Meaning of Darakaraka in astrology

Dara means This is a Planet which tells us about our Soulmate. It will tell us what kind of Life partner we will get in this Life. It does not deal with the Outer beauty of our partner but the inner qualities. That is why it indicates the Soulmate.

In Jaimini astrology, We use 7 Karaka and if we carefully study them, we will find that Classification of these Planets are not random and it has Similarity with the Vedic astrology. 7th house deals with Marriage, Relationship, Spouse etc and that is why the 7th Karaka has been classified as Darakaraka (DK).

Simialrly the 1st house which is the Lagna or Ascendant which represents our own existence. This is classified as the first Karaka or Atmakaraka. So there is a Simialrity between the house division System and chara karaka System.
