KARAKAMSA & SWAMSA CHARTS
Karakamsa chart have been exclusively discussed in our texts.
In other words an extremely important chart.
Though lots of information has already been given about Karakamsa chart in our texts but still, there is lot more issues to be discussed with respect to this very chart.
As per many ancient astrologers this chart should be seen with of course lagan chart for all Raj yog listed in the texts.
As we identify Raj yog karak planets in lagan chart, the same process is to be done w.r.t this chart.
Before moving ahead, let me first describe that how exactly Karakamsa chart should be casted or made.
This is very important as there are many confusions prevailing in this regard. I have seen many astrologers following wrong method in making this chart.
Most of the astrologers fail to make any distinction between Swamsa chart and Karakamsa chart. As a result they end up applying rules w.r.t Karakamsa chart on Swamsa chart.
So How to form Karakamsa chart?
1) Identify the Atmakaraka (Planet with maximum number of degrees in comparison to other planets)
2) Locate the rashi in which this Atmakaraka is placed in Navamsa chart.
3) Place this Rashi in the Lagan of Karakamsa chart.
4) Now Place all planets in this chart IDENTICAL with their Rashi placement in LAGAN chart.
This casted chart is known as Karakamsa chart
How to form Swamsa chart?
1) Identify the Atmakaraka (Planet with maximum number of degrees in comparison to other planets)
2) Locate the rashi in which this Atmakaraka is placed in Navamsa chart.
3) Place this Rashi in the Lagan of Swamsa chart.
4) Now Place all planets in this chart IDENTICAL with their Rashi placement in NAVAMSA chart.
This casted chart is known as Swamsa chart
Karakamsa chart has Physical dimension to it, or experiences of body i.e. more on a materialistic front like lagan chart.
Swamasa Chart should be seen for effects on soul or experiences of soul or more on spiritualistic front.
