Calculate the Atmakaraka from your birth chart
This tool uses MahaGuru's published Atmakaraka calculation with the seven-planet convention. It compares the within-sign progress of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, then shows the returned ranking and selected Atmakaraka. Rahu is not included in this chosen convention.
Read the ranking rather than guessing from a sign
The table shows each candidate's position within its own sign. This differs from comparing total zodiac longitude. The result also identifies any tie at the displayed precision so a rounded degree does not hide an important detail.
Keep the interpretation in context
Atmakaraka is a traditional Jaimini significator, sometimes called the soul significator. The label is an interpretive concept rather than proof of a fixed destiny. Use the Karakamsha and main birth chart alongside it, and compare the selected seven- or eight-karaka convention when another report differs.

Frequently asked questions
Does this include Rahu in the ranking?
No. This page explicitly uses the seven-planet convention. An eight-karaka calculation can use a different ranking and should not be compared without matching conventions.
Does the highest zodiac longitude become Atmakaraka?
The seven-planet method compares progress within each planet's sign, not total longitude around the entire zodiac.
What if the displayed degrees are tied?
The report retains the engine's selected result and identifies a tie at display precision where returned. Rounded display values alone may not show the full difference.
