    3. Mars is for younger brothers and sisters.
    4. Mercury is for maternal and paternal uncles and Aunts. (Chacha chachi, mama mami)
    5. Jupiter is for paternal Grand father( Dada).
    6. Venus is for husband or wife.
    7. Saturn is for sons.

    The Char Karkas
    These are decided according to the degrees of the planets. For this purpose, the
    Rashi is not considered. The degree between 0° to 30° needs to be seen.
    Atma Karak(A.k) - is the planet with the highest degree.
    Amatya karak (Amk)- is the planet with the second highest degree.
    Bhrati Karak (B.k) is the planet with the third highest degree.
    Matrikarak (M.k)- is the planet who is the fourth in this order.
    Putrakarak (P.k)- is the planet who is the next in this order.
    Gnati Karak (G.k)- is the planet with the second lowest degree.
    Dara Karak (D.k)- is the planet with the lowest degree.
    If two or three planets in the horoscope are with the same degree, then we need to
    differentiate between the karakas according to the minutes and seconds.
    At this point one controversy needs do be mentioned. Some Astrologers favour the use of eight
    karkas instead of seven. They claim that there are eight karkas including
    Pitrukarka. Rahu becomes the eighth planet to be considered. Most astrologers However,
    favour the use of seven karkas. Parashar favours the use of combination of Char and Sthir
    karak instead of eight Karkas.
    Functions of the char karkas
    Atmakarak
    Atmakarak denotes SELF . He is equivalent to the lagna and the lagna lord. He is
    very important in Jaimini. He also represents the matters relating to the first house of the
    horoscope i.e. Health and constitution nature, general pattern of life and prosperity.
    Amatyakarak

    Amatya karak is extremely important for career and finance and second house matters.
    Bhratikarak
    Represents the parakram or the self efforts, co-born and the third house matters.
    Sometimes bharati karak can even be seen for father.
    See Mars + Bk for brothers, and Sun + Bk for Father.
    Matrikarak
    Represents mother and matters relating to fourth house, school education, home
    vehicles and general happiness.
    Putrakarak

    important for profession because of the connection between education and profession.

    Represents cousins, debts, diseases and enemies. It covers the sixth house matters
    including the competitive spirit.
    Darakarak
    Darakarak mainly represents husband or wife and the seventh house matters.

    The use of different lagnas for studying the different aspects of the Jatak's personality
    is the greatest contribution of Jaimini Maharshi.

    1. Karkamsa lagna.
    2. Pada lagna or lagnarudha or Arudha lagna.

    5. Hora lagna.
    6. Varnada lagna.

    2. Pada lagna or lagnarudha or Arudha lagna.
    3. Upapada lagna.
