Darakaraka and atmakaraka conjunction ?
Hey! This is a really nice question! For this questions, we’ve got to see a bunch of stuff, and let’s work our way through them and then get to an example! We’ll obviously keep it as brief as we can, since as I always say, it’ll take us a good phD thesis and more for each and every position.
Firstly, which planets are your atmakarka and darakarka? It’s important to see this to relate to the qualities of each planet and their relationships with each other. Saturn would behave very differently with Venus, as it would with Jupiter. So it’s important to know which planets. Further, we have to see if the planets get along at all, even regardless of a chart. Saturn and Mars? Eh tough match, but still a lot to see, this would cause a lot of fights in general. Venus and mercury? Pretty good, happy and prosperous relationship. Further, certain planets conjunct can form certain yogas together, for example mercury and sun will form Bodh-Aditya yoga in addition to their roles as atmarkaka and darakarka, so it’ll bleed into the relationship too!
Secondly, which house is it formed it? What is the ascendant of the chart where it’s formed? What sign is it formed it? What are the house rulerships of the atmakarka and darakarka planets? You see, if the ownerships of the atmakarka and darakarka is a trine (5th,11th or 9th house) or a Kendra (1st,4th,7th or 10th), and they are conjunct, it’s the formation of a raj yoga. Which type? We won’t know we’ll enough, but they will bring prosperity in different forms depending on which kind it is. Even better if the conjunction occurs in a Kendra house itself! Further, if the rulership is of a malefic house is here (6th,8th or 12th) and the conjunction occurs in a malefic house, we’ll get vipreet raj yoga which would reverse fortunes (we can see it as marriage will get you from rags to riches or visa versa depending on different aspects).
Similarly, a chart will have maleficent or benefits depending on the ascendant of the chart other than general ascendants. Like for Taurus a, Jupiter will be malefic despite being a natural benefic. So a malefic and benefic conjunction is bad, similarly with degrees you can see who will be the dominating party and so on, obviously darakarka will be lower so it’ll be leading the conjunction here, but through nakshatras we can see who will be in better dignity.
Let’s go with an example, say your atmakarka is Jupiter and your darakarka is moon. They’re sitting in the 10th house, in Gemini. The ascendant becomes Virgo naturally here. Let’s say moon is in mrigshira at 2’ and Jupiter is in punarvasu at 27’.
Firstly, a gaj-kesari yoga is formed here, so we can see that through the spouse the 10th house of career and reputation will be activated. Your soul purpose and meeting your spouse will be largely material and your spouse’s family will be cardinal in (4th from 7th house) forming your character, especially his mother. You will also see that your father will be important in your relationship with your spouse, your father will also benefit from the marriage. Your Jupiter (punarvasu here) will be a caretaker and go through tribunals to serve your karma (like Lord Ram), you will also have tribunals related to your spouse and their image in the open. Your spouse may also travel a lot and be very deep into research, their life purpose may be to research or find a cure to something, maybe even as their career. They will also pay karma to you by form of supporting you through the tribunals you face.
Overall a conjunction like this is heavily karmic and usually a due to both sides will be paid. However it’s important to see the placement in totality. Hope it works! Loads of love and feel free to send me any doubts!!
