Example Chart 1: US President (2000-200_) George W. Bush. Birth data: July 6, 1946, 7:26 (4:00 West
of GMT), New Heaven, CT, USA (72 W 55’00”, 41 N 18’00”)
Example Chart 2: Birth Data – Male, August 31, 1953, 4:05 AM, 83E18, 17N42. Birth chart rectification
and D-10 analysis.
Kev Notes:
There are 3 kinds of karakas:
Naisargika karakas (natural significators, 9 in number).
Chara karakas (variable significators, 8 in number), and,
Sthira karakas (fixed significators, 7 in number),
One should not use the three types of karakas in a mixed-up way. Karakas of each type have a specific
purpose. One should understand the distinction between chara, sthira and naisargika karakas clearly
and use them accordingly.
Naisargika karakas shows everything that exists in the creation. They include Rahu, Ke and the seven
planets. They are presided by Brahma. Naisargika karakas are very useful in phalita Jyotish, i.e.
analysis of general results.
Chara karakas include Ra and the seven planets. They do not include Ketu, as Ke stands for moksha
(emancipation) and does not stand for any person who affects one’s sustenance. Chara karakas are
presided by Vishnu. Chara karakas show people who play an important role in one’s sustenance and
achievements. Examples are
mother, father, wife, advisors etc.
Sthira karakas include only 7 planets because only they have physical bodies. They are presided by
Shiva. As Shiva presides over death, they show the destruction of body. Sthira karakas are useful in
timing the death of various near relatives.
Charakarakas:
The planet with the highest advancement is Atma Karaka (significator of Self) and denoted by AK.
Other charakarakas are given below:
Order Karaka Symbol Persons shown
1 Atma Karaka AK Self
2 Amatya AmK Ministers
Karaka
3 Bhratri Karaka BK Siblings
4 Matri Karaka MK Mother
5 Pitri Karaka PiK Father
6 Putra PK Children
7 Jnaati Karaka GK Rivals
(JK)
8 Dara Karaka DK Spouse
Example Chart 1:
Example chart’s Chara karakas and the meaning of each one have
been discussed.
Look for various karakas placed from corresponding houses in Rasi chart.
Relative placement of AK and ASC for self.
Relative placement of DK and 7th house for spouse.
Relative placement of PK and 5th house for children.
Relative placement of GK and 6th house for rivals.
This will show how the karaka is impacting the house.
AK placement in Navamsa is very important. Dharma is guiding Atma.
If AK & PK are together in Rasi Chart will give great Raja Yoga. If the Raja yoga is in 1st house or 5th
house, it is very powerful and they rise very high. It is like blind following (Swami Vivekananda great
follower of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa).
If AK & PiK are together in Rasi Chart will also give great Raja Yoga. Also if it is in 1st house or 5th
house, again very powerful, but the difference is someone like fatherly figure will guide you. In
Navamsa, it will be dharmic rise and in Rasi physical rise.
Take AK as ASC and analyze all other karakas in Rasi chart:
If any karakas are placed in 6th house, 8th house, and 12th house, soul gives-up that karaka.
Take AK as ASC and analyze all other karakas in Navamsa chart:
If any other karakas are placed in 6th H, 8th H, and 12th H, dharma will suffer related to that karaka.
In Navamsa (D-9), the 10th H shows Karma related to one’s dharma and how it is promoted
In Dasamsa (D-10), the 9th H shows sense of dharma while doing karma.
Example Chart 2:
Birth Time rectification using known events.
First check in Rasi chart, see when ASC will change the sign.
Also check Navamsa LA. In the current example chart, the ASC will change the sign, if the time is 2 min
56 sec earlier.
Take marriage event and using Tithi Pravesa chart for that year, the Navamsa ASC accuracy is
established. Birth time is correct for D-9.
Kev points of career analysis using Dasamsa (D-10):
Check for any links between the 3 houses of Artha trikonas from ASC (2nd, 6th, and 10th houses).
The 2nd house is strong; the resources are very strong in the native’s career.
If the 10th house strong, it will show achievements and if the 6th house strong, it will show over
coming obstacles.
Even though 7th house is stronger than 6th house, (Mo in 7th house) but based on the nature of the
work of the native, and the link between the artha trikonas, the 6th house of service is strong (listen to
the audio for in-depth explanation.
Ju occupies 10th house, this will show some kind of achievement and also respect in the society,
The 7th house is house of desire, if any planet in 7th, will show kind of desire. The Mo is in 7th house
will show Godliness and spreading of religiousness in the society. Mo and Ju are in Kendras (7th & 10h
houses), will form Gaja Kesari Yoga and will achieve native’s desire.
Native lost the job in Oct 2002. According to VD, in Ju MD and Ma AD, lost the job. Because, JU is
Badhakesh for Vi LA, and capable of giving some trouble. Ma is 3 H lord and can give short breaks in
career. Also it is aspecting 8th H by rasi drishti and this will give long break in career.
