What is the Darakaraka?

The Darakaraka (DK) is the Jaimini "significator of the spouse." Among the seven planets — and Rahu in the eight-karaka scheme — the planet that has advanced the least within its sign (the lowest degrees) becomes the Darakaraka. 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.
