[quote="Nandini"]Dear Asro,

Happy to hear from you! It is nice to read your posts.

I somehow feel that the Atmakarak is not really involved in what the nativity is doing. It is like an assignment has been given to a student with full freedom to do it in anyway he wants to. The assignment is from the Atmakarak to the Lagnesh. Which incidentally, is saying that the assignment is from one part,the non-changing part, of a person to the learning part of the person, the growing and hence changing part.

WHAT one has come to learn is perhaps to be seen from the Atmakarak. What MEANS the soul will employ to learn that, to accomplish the task given, is to be seen from the Lagnesh.

Theories are theories and will always be there. I wish we could check it out in some charts under the guidance of learned ones here. But discussing charts can be difficult, specially when the Atmakarak is involved, because it changes so much with the Ayanamsha.

If you or anyone else is interested we could consider the chart of Bill Gates. I get his Atmakarak to be Saturn and Lagnesh as Moon. If most get that, then there could be some constructive discussion.

Thanks.

Nandini and Asro,

Sounds like a very good project.Bravo!
Two things to suggest if both of you are willing to incorporate in your exploration:

In a random sample of say 20 charts (starters) how often does the Atmakaraka or Darakaraka actually show up close to the cusp of a rashi for ayanamsha to have the influence you stated? Random is the keyword as the statisticians remind us about!

Secondly, see if there is a difference when the atmakaraka (for starters, but other karkas too may be added if the pilot works out) is placed on a certain pada (always comparing with position of lagnesha on a pada or a house empty of padas!

Just a thought!

[[And if possible, please start a new thread for reporting your findings! I have noticed that when a thread goes beyond three or four pages, generally it becomes too much of a chore to have to go through all those pages and invariably in most threads running into 3+ pages, the subject has already drifted from the initial subject and posting

I hope you will not mind my suggestion and not consider it patronizing or too unctorial ;-}

Good luck ]]
