This tool determines specific significator planets within an individual’s birth chart based on the highest degree a planet attains in any sign. The Atmakaraka represents the ‘soul significator,’ the planet with the highest degree, indicating lessons and desires for spiritual growth in this lifetime. The Darakaraka is the planet with the lowest degree (or second-highest, depending on the system used) and signifies the spouse or partner and lessons learned through relationships.
The calculation is important in Vedic astrology as these significators reveal deeper insights into an individual’s purpose, desires, and relationships. Understanding these planets provides a framework for self-awareness and navigating karmic paths. Traditionally, these calculations were performed manually, requiring expertise in Vedic astrological principles. The advent of readily available computational tools has democratized this process, allowing wider access to these astrological insights.
