Find the Karakamsha sign
This calculator reports the Navamsa sign occupied by the Atmakaraka selected under MahaGuru's seven-planet convention. It displays that sign and the occupants returned by the calculation, rather than treating the ordinary birth ascendant as Karakamsha.
Keep the calculation convention visible
Different traditions may choose seven or eight karakas. A changed Atmakaraka can change the associated Karakamsha result. This tool uses one explicitly stated convention and does not offer a silent mixture of methods.
Compare with the Navamsa report
Use the dedicated D9 page to inspect the wider Navamsa chart. The Karakamsha page focuses on the selected significator's sign and its returned occupants. It is not a replacement for the complete divisional chart or a certainty about life events.

Frequently asked questions
What does Karakamsha mean on this page?
It means the Navamsa sign occupied by the selected Atmakaraka.
Is Karakamsha always the Navamsa ascendant?
No. The Atmakaraka's Navamsa sign and the Navamsa ascendant refer to different calculations and need not match.
Why can another report show a different sign?
Compare the birth details, ayanamsha, karaka convention and definition of Karakamsha before assuming one result is wrong.
