From the "Jaimini Sutras" of Maharishi Jaimini, I am quoting the

following extremely important astrological secrets about the Atma
Karaka and its significance in Vedic Astrology / Spirituality:
Of the seven planets from the Sun to Saturn, or the eight planets from
the Sun to Rahu, whichever gets the highest number of degrees becomes
the Atmakaraka.
Atmakaraka gives bad and good results by virtue of malefic and benefic
dispositions such as debility, exaltation, etc.
If the Atmakaraka occupies Mesha (Aries) Navamsa, then the person
will be subjected to the fears and bites of rats, cats, and other similar
animals.
If Atmakaraka is in Taurus Navamsa, there will be fear from quadrupeds.
If Atmakaraka occupies Mithuna (Gemini) the person will suffer from
corpulence, itches and cutaneous eruptions.

If the Atmakaraka occupies Kataka (Cancer) Navamsa, dangers and

troubles come from watery places and leprosy.
If the Atmakaraka joins Simha (Leo) Navamsa, troubles will come
through dogs and such canine animals.
If Atmakaraka is in Kanya (Virgo) Navamsa, the native will suffer from
fire, itches, and corpulence.
If the Atmakaraka joins Thula (Libra) Navamsa, the person will make
much money by merchandise.
If the Atmakaraka joins Vrischikamsa (Scorpio), the person will have
fears and dangers from watery animals, snakes and he will also have no
milk from his mother.
If the Atmakaraka joins the Navamsa of Dhanus (Saggitarius), the
person will have suffering and dangers from falls, .from conveyances,
horses, etc., and also from elevated places like trees, houses, hills and
mountains.
If the Atmakaraka joins Makara (Capricorn) the person will have
troubles and sorrows from aquatic animals from fierce birds, skin
diseases, large wounds and glandular expansions.

If the Atmakaraka occupies Kumbha (Aquarius) Navamsa the person

will do charities in the shape of constructing wells, tracks, topes or
gardens, temples and dharmasalas or chatrams.
If the Atmakaraka occupies Meena amsa (Pisces), the person will be
fond of virtuous deeds and charities, and will take residence in Swargadi
Lokas or will attain to the final bliss or what is called by the Sanskrit
writers Moksha or final emancipation or freedom from rebirths.
If the Sun occupies the Karakamsa, the person will be fond of public
service and will work in political activities.
If Full Moon and Venus join Atmakaraka in the Navamsa, the person
will command great wealth and all comforts attendant on wealth and he
will also earn money and live by the profession of education.
When Kuja (Mars) joins Atmakaraka in the Navamsa, the person
becomes great in the preparation of various medical mixtures, will bear
arms like kuntayudha and other weapons, and live by profession
involving preparations in or near fire.
If Budha conjoins the Atmakaraka in the Navamsa, the persons become
merchants, weavers and manufacturers of clothes, artists and persons
clever in preparing curios, and those well versed in the affairs of social
and political matters.

When Guru (Jupiter) joins the Navamsa with Atmakaraka, the person
will be well versed in Vedic or religious rituals, will have religious
wisdom, well known in the rules of sacrificial functions and will have
good knowledge in Vedanta and will be a religious man.
I will end with this last Sutra of Maharishi Parashara:
The beings with more Jeevatmamsa are (mortal) beings. The high degree
of Paramatmamsa from the Grahas, viz. Sun, etc. did incarnate as Rama,
Krishna, etc.. After completing the mission, the Paramatmamsas (of the
respective) Grahas again merge (in the respective) Grahas. The Jeevatma
portions from the Grahas take births as human beings and live their lives
according to their Karmas and again merge in the Grahas. And at the
time of Great Destruction, the Grahas as well merge in the Lord Vishnu.
One who knows of all these, will become versed in the knowledge of the
past, present, and future. Without a knowledge of astrology these cannot
be known. Hence everyone should have a knowledge of Astrology
particularly the Brahmin. One who, devoid of astrological knowledge,
blames this science will go to the hell called 'Raurava', and will be
reborn blind.
If Sukra (Venus) joins the Atmakaraka in the Navamsa, the person will
become a great official or political personage, will be fond of many
women and will retain vitality and sexual passions till he is hundred
years old.

skilful use of warlike instruments, he will earn bread as thief and dacoit;
he becomes a doctor dealing in poisons, manufacturer of gold, silver,
copper and other metallic machinery.
When Ketu joins the Atmakaraka in the Navamsa the persons born under
such combination trade in elephants or become thieves and robbers.
If Ravi (Sun) and Rahu join Atmakaraka in the Navamsa the person dies
by snake-bites.
If benefics aspect the Yoga mentioned above, there will be no deaths
from snake-bites.
If Ravi (sun) and Rahu join Atmakaraka in the Navamsa and have only
beneficial aspects the person will have no snake-bites, but will become a
doctor who deals solely in poisonous matters.
If Ravi (sun) and Rahu join Atmakaraka in the Navamsa, and have the
evil aspect of Kuja, the person will burn houses or lend fire and other
help to the incendiaries.

If Ravi (sun) and Rahu join Atmakaraka in the Navamsa and have the
aspect of Sukra, the person will not burn the houses himself, but will
lend fire to the rogues who do it.
If Ravi (sun) and Rahu join Atmakaraka in the Navamsa, but have the
aspect of Guru alone, the person will burn houses at a distance from his
own house.
If the Karaka (Cancer) Navamsa falls in Gulikakala or the time governed
by Gulika, the person will administer poison to others and kill them or
be killed by such administrations of poison by others.
If Chandra (moon) aspects the Atmakaraka Navamsa falling in

religious sacrifices.
