Atmakaraka Jupiter - Jupiter Atmakaraka

Atma means ‘soul’ and Karaka means ‘significator’. Atmakaraka is the significator of the soul’s desire. According to the Vedic philosophy, a soul comes to earth to fulfill all the unfinished desires of the past lives. The Atmakaraka is also called Atmeshvara and is the final authority in all matters. Moksha and bondage are determined by Atmakaraka.

There are two types of Atmakaraka - the natural Atmakaraka and the movable Atmakarka. If the Atmakaraka favours the activity done by the native then the work is accomplished. While, If the Atmakaraka does not approve the activity of the native then the accomplishment is difficult.

The Chara Atmakaraka or movable Atmakaraka is the planet that has maximum degrees of all the planets in the natal chart. Hence, any heavenly amongst the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus having the highest degree in the horoscope becomes the Atmakarka. Ketu being the significator of Moksha cannot be considered as Chara Atmakaraka. Moksha is the destination of the soul which is the ultimate aim.
