What is the Darakaraka?

The Darakaraka (DK) is the Jaimini "significator of the spouse." Among the seven planets (Sun to Saturn), the planet that has advanced the least within its sign (the lowest degrees) becomes the Darakaraka. This calculator uses the seven-karaka (Parashari) scheme, so Rahu and Ketu are not counted. Its nature, sign, and placement describe the husband or wife and the texture of married life.

How it is used

The planet that is your Darakaraka hints at the temperament and qualities of your spouse.
Its sign and nakshatra add further colour to the partner's nature and background.
Astrologers also study the Darakaraka in the Navamsa (D-9) and its 7th house for a deeper reading of marriage.

This calculator shows your Darakaraka along with the full set of Chara Karakas. Because fast-moving planets change degrees quickly, enter your exact birth time and pick the city from the dropdown so the result is accurate.

Frequently asked questions about Darakaraka

What does Darakaraka reveal about marriage or my partner?

Which houses and planets does it check?

When does Darakaraka suggest marriage timing?

Timing comes from your Vimshottari Dasha and supporting transits. Darakaraka highlights the stronger windows in your chart — treat them as favourable periods to prepare for, not as fixed calendar promises.

Do I need my exact birth time for Darakaraka?

Yes for a reliable reading. Darakaraka depends on the ascendant and house lords, which shift with the birth time — so enter the exact time with the correct AM/PM and pick your city from the suggestions. A rough time can still give a broad sense, but house-based results may change.
