The meaning of Atma-Karaka
is soul-signification and relates to the planet with the highest degree in any
sign of the sidereal zodiac.
Each planet is a karaka or signification of certain matters, which in the chart has a powerful influence.
The planet is known as the Atma-karaka or soul signification in this life.
It is
the signification of the higher self on an inner level and is the underlying reason
why we attracted to specific influences and its dependence on it.
The Planets main function
in sign and house reveals the necessities to bring those planetary seeds and
fertile grounds into the infrastructure and fruits, of what truly is needed to
happen in the individual person as the process of the soul evolutional
development.
If Mercury for example is the highest degree
in a chart, communication, writing and learning are the evolutional faculties.
If Venus has the highest
degree in the chart, it will declare that the impact of creativity through art
or music is not anymore just a reflection of the artist mood and adoration, but
needing to come to a sound faculty of therapeutic or healing abilities.
In the Vedic literature, it
states that the soul of God (Brahman) appears as Atma (soul) in
the individual body of a person. Kosas are considered as the layers of life and
act like layers of an onion with the reality of ‘Atma’ buried in the center of
the onion, so that by peeling away the layers of kosas with devotion, which is merging
with the central core, Atma will results in once true liberation.
People identify themselves
with obscuring the Brahman with the ego or layers of shadows. The psyche and
shadow refers to the forces in an individual that influence behavior, thought
and personality and represents the conscious mind; the personal unconscious
contains memories including those that have been suppressed; the collective
unconscious is a collection of psychological inheritance containing all the
knowledge and experience we share.
Atmakaraka and the Moon are
very sensitive and need to be analyzed very carefully, if for example the Atmakaraka (soul signification) happens to be posited in the house of children
(5th) with the Moon, the child is deprived of mother’s milk.
In conjunction with the
nodes Rahu or Ketu it some tragic circumstance, will be the story in once life.
