Amatyakaraka - The Celestial Advisor

The Karaka is the Hand of God. For our choices in life to manifest success elegantly, we need the lubrication that comes from divine guidance and support, what we refer to as Grace. For this, we must pay attention to the Karaka. Afterall, only if we can realize the purpose of the soul in this incarnation can we feel satisfied and complete the karma that leads to rebirth if left unaddressed. The Chara Amatyakaraka, along with the Chara Atma and Bhatri-karaka grahas, is a crucial graha in the chart to help play a role in realizing the purpose of the soul.

For Yogas to fructify in the charts, we need the bhava, the bhava lord, the anityakaraka [also knows as the dispositor], the karaka graha and the chara-karaka of the bhava to be strong and supportive of the direction. This is vital to understand why some Yogas work in the charts and most often do not bear fruit. In the field of career and related success, it is the Amatyakaraka that plays a significant role as the chara-karaka for the chart. The people represented by the Amatyakaraka graha play a significant role in providing their counsel, advice, and guidance during crucial moments. Jupiter is the Natural Amatyakaraka and the Charakaraka bhava of the Amatyakaraka is the 10th house of the chart.

The 10th house is the Akasha lagna. The field of Shakti. The karma tied to our careers at the gross level is associated with our ability to experience comforts and success, but at the higher plane, it is the mechanism to complete our debts and desires such that we can progress spiritually. Thus, the Amatyakaraka plays a significant role in our evolution in this incarnation.

As your advisor, this is the guiding light.

Insights from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

Parashara Muni shares in his chapter on Raja-Sambandhayoga-adhya, in Shloka 1, that the Amatyakaraka or its dispositor (anityakaraka) in Yuti with the 10th lord gives very high positions in one’s career

In shloka 3, he states that the very relationship of the Amatyakaraka and the Atmakaraka either directly or through their dispositors provides the native with great intelligence and enables them to reach high positions in their respective fields.

In shloka 4, Parashara Muni shares that just the Amayakaraka graha itself being with benefics or in good avasthas, such as in swakshetra or exalted, is enough to confer a high position in one’s career.

In shloka 5, Parashara Muni states that the Amatyakaraka in trines to the Lagna confers high positions in one’s career.
