About Jaimini Astrology

Jaimini astrology, also known as Jaimini Sutras, is a branch of Vedic astrology that is named after the sage Jaimini. It is a relatively advanced and complex system within the broader realm of Vedic astrology and is primarily focused on providing insights into a person's destiny and life path. Jaimini astrology has its own set of principles and techniques that are distinct from classical Vedic astrology. Here are some key features and principles of Jaimini astrology:

• Dara Karaka: Jaimini astrology uses a concept known as "Dara Karaka," which is one of the seven chara (moveable) karakas used in this system. The Dara Karaka is associated with marriage and represents the spouse in a person's life
• Atmakaraka: In Jaimini astrology, the Atmakaraka is an essential concept. It is the planet with the highest degree in a person's natal chart and is associated with the soul or self. The Atmakaraka plays a central role in understanding a person's life path and spiritual journey.
• Chara Dasha: Jaimini astrology employs a unique dasha (planetary period) system known as Chara Dasha. This dasha system is distinct from the more commonly used Vimshottari Dasha system in classical Vedic astrology. Chara Dasha assigns periods to planets based on their position in the natal chart and their relationship to the Atmakaraka.
• Sthira Karaka and Chara Karaka: Jaimini astrology categorizes planets into two groups: Sthira Karaka (fixed significators) and Chara Karaka (moveable significators). These Karakas play important roles in determining the areas of life influenced by specific planets.
• Padas: Jaimini astrology introduces the concept of padas, which are divisions of signs or houses. Padas are used to provide additional insights into various life events and circumstances.
