What is Amatyakaraka?
Amatyakaraka is the planet which shows karma, and a person's inclination towards doing certain types of actions. And hence, it is so closely related to the occupation of the individual. For some astrologers, Amatyakaraka refers to the planet that symbolizes an individual's occupation or source of livelihood. The concept of Amatyakaraka offers valuable insights into career choices and can guide individuals towards finding their true calling.
Amatyakaraka refers to the planet that is most responsible for the individual's occupation or profession. While there are different factors involved in choosing a career path, Amatyakaraka does play a significant role in this process.
Amtayakaraka is the planet holding the second highest degree in any sign of the birth chart, a.k.a, Kundli.
Note that, while Atmakaraka planet is analogous to Lagna lord. The Amatyakaraka planet is more analogous to the 10th house lord. And this is the reason a connection between Atmakaraka and Amatyakaraka can give rise to a Raja yog similar to one given by the connection between Lagna lord and 10th house lord.
