What is the Atmakaraka?
Also known as: AK, soul significator
In Jaimini astrology the Atmakaraka is the planet at the highest degree in any sign — the 'soul significator' representing the self's deepest desires and karmic path.
It anchors the Karakamsha chart and is central to Jaimini techniques, complementing the Parashari system most charts use.
