Atmakaraka–Amatyakaraka Yoga Calculator
What is the Atmakaraka–Amatyakaraka Yoga?
In Jaimini astrology the Atmakaraka (AK) is the planet at the highest degree — the "soul" significator — and the Amatyakaraka (AmK) is the planet at the second-highest degree — the "minister", linked to career, advisors and how one serves. When the AK and AmK are conjunct or aspect each other, the soul's purpose aligns with one's work and support.
The combination acts like a strong Raja-Yoga-like link for success and recognition when the soul's lesson and the path of work reinforce each other. Such a person often finds mentors, roles and projects that fit who they are becoming, rather than only chasing status for its own sake. Purpose and profession speak to each other.
Strength depends on the nature of the AK and AmK planets, their dignity, and the houses they occupy. Exact birth time matters because degrees decide which planets hold these roles. Enter precise birth details, and read this Jaimini yoga alongside the Parashari chart. Alignment of soul and work is the everyday gift of a clear AK–AmK connection when both planets are reasonably strong. Careers that express the AK's nature, supported by people or skills shown by the AmK, are the clearest real-world fit. Degree ranking must be exact — a rounded birth time can swap which planet holds which role.
