Introduction
This post explores the effects of Venus Atmakaraka. In Vedic astrology, the planet that has the highest degree in your birth chart is considered the Atmakaraka. Atma means “soul” and Karaka “significator” — Atmakaraka is the significator of the soul’s desire. In Vedic philosophy, a soul has to reincarnate into one’s body to fulfil all the unfinished desires of past lives. Essentially, Atmakaraka represents our principal inclinations, traits, desires, and goals that remain more or less consistent throughout our lives.
This pivotal planet not only highlights our core ambitions. It also signifies the obstacles essential for spiritual and material growth and development. Atmakaraka is often the most influential planet in a person’s chart. Its nature and impact have to be studied thoroughly. Each planet carries its own unique energy and symbolism, which further influences the interpretation of Atmakaraka.
