Is Darakaraka Only Seen For Marriage? | Untold Concepts Of Darakaraka & Health Issues (3 Case Studies)

Role of Darakaraka and Jaimini Sutras –

In classical texts, Darakaraka plays an important role as you generally will come across statements especially when it comes to Jaimini Sutras point of view that a planet with so and so charakaraka will behave in such manner but the thing is that the classical texts are not complete as a whole as they work like manual of life to give guidance and help us in thinking that with such placement, these things are possible as it is telling you think as per present circumstances, place and situation as the base quality of predicting methodology will remain the same but actual prediction will change based on circumstances.

Now, imagine this from Rishi’s point of view that why would he write such a statement that when Jupiter is placed in Lagna, the person is prosperous, has more children and kids and gets benefited from them while in fall (debilitated) in Lagna, it will not give positive result.

The thing that you will not realise is that Jupiter in Capricorn in Lagna people are the ones who will use un-conventional methods, different methods to present knowledge as there was this chart earlier that Jupiter in Lagna in Capricorn where it was predicted that the person will use AI tools so much that, ChatGPT will say to spare him for using it to this extent as they are trying to present knowledge in maximum way possible using all tools at their disposal (obviously this is not the only placement which might give this as Jupiter was repeating in D3 as well with Mercury Rahu conjunct in 3rd too)

Special Position of Planets –

This is not an issue, the placement may seem to be debilitated but a planet in debilitation will make sure that the person understands the major pain areas of other people’s life and make sure to present the knowledge in the most simplified format that’s why Jupiter in Capricorn is head of institution as the head clearly knows where the problem area is and how it can be made better and even H.N Katwe as quoted by Deepanshu Sir also conveys that debilitated planets are a boon especially in the age of Kaliyuga.

This is base layer now let us say here that Jupiter is MK (Matru-karaka) (Matru is not to be solely be used for mother or emotions but also represents education) placed in sign of Capricorn whose ruler Saturn is GK (Gnati-karaka) (pain, obstruction, difficult times) so you can say that the native will learn a lot of experience and knowledge in difficult times and use it to solve troubles of masses (aspects Cancer), earn resources and help family (aspects Taurus) and get over pending karma and help others too (aspects Virgo).

This is all still easily figured out but while you will go more deeper you will realise that what Maharishi Jaimini has inclusively added is usage of Awasthas which is not easily picked up so you will realize that the Awasthas are mainly based on degree of planet and so is the allocation of Charakarakas too.

This strikes a chord from within which basically  means that planet having lowest degree can infact give troubles physically and emotionally even if slightly afflicted in the chart.

It is the Dara-karaka

I am using the 5 basic stages of Awasthas while there are other sub-systems too of awasthas but this is just to give you an idea how Vedic and Jamini can go hand-in-hand so your doubt will be valid as to how the other awasthas mainly co-relate, we will talk about them later.

Bala Avastha (0° – 6°): Infancy, weak, infantile results.
Kumara Avastha (6° – 12°): Youth, 50% strength, growing.
Yuva Avastha (12° – 18°): Prime Adult, 100% strength, full results.
Vriddha Avastha (18° – 24°): Old Age, 40-50% strength, declining.
Mrit Avastha (24° – 30°): Dead/End of Life, negligible strength.

TECHNIQUE – In condition of DK, wherever the DK  falls in chart irrespective of the planet it is even with slight affliction, the native will face issues in executing the significations (karakatwas) of that planet and that body part will also have issues.

Example 1 – Case of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder –  Jupiter is DK and placed in sign of BK (Mars) – Mars is in 3H with Ketu and Moon showing generation troubles as Mars is 6L too.

Jupiter is ruler of 2nd house of speech and 5th house of intellect in Scorpio, again showing generation issues.

Rahu (AmK – ruler of speech and resources as per chara-karakas speech again influencing Jupiter)

But, root cause here is Jupiter clearly as whole circuit is getting completed there and then as session was also taken by father specifically to resolve issues of the child.

Example 2 – Case of IBD (Ulcerative Colitis) – Saturn is DK and dispositor Rahu in Scorpio, Saturn also goes in Scorpio.

Saturn with Mandi and Gulika too aspecting 10th house Rahu in Scorpio so whole circuit getting completed.

Saturn is JOB so house-wise debilitated still inspite of being in own sign, native is not seeing stability in job and been insecure completely, and since in Ascendant being born in 1994 so from 2022 majorly (age of Mars – Saturn in Scorpio navansh), facing some or the other health issues too.

Example 3 – Case of Joints Issues and Delayed Marriage – Saturn is DK with Mandi and Gulika and dispositor Jupiter in 2nd house retrograde.

9th house is of contracts, Saturn is creating delay and dispositor Jupiter shows lack of support from parents in Taurus sign in finding husband (as Jupiter retrograde influences Lagna so person will have to find through self)

Joint related issues, weak bones mobility as Saturn is significator of those aspecting both 3H and 11H.
