Darakaraka (DK) Decoded: Your Planet for Partners, Public & Prosperity

By Bavishyavani Research Team | Wealth Division Updated: January 25, 2026

Let’s talk about “The Power Couple.” In 2026, wealth is rarely a solo sport. Look at the world’s most successful people—behind almost every empire is a partnership that either amplified the success or acted as the secret foundation for it.

In Jaimini Astrology, the planet that holds the key to your “Other Half”—whether that is a spouse, a business partner, or the general public—is the Darakaraka DK.

The word “Dara” means Wife (or spouse). In the old school, you looked at the DK to see what your husband or wife would look like. Boring. In the modern wealth code, the Darakaraka DK represents your Public Persona, your Market Reach, and the Financial Karma of your Union.

If your Darakaraka DK is strong, you marry “Up.” Your spouse brings assets, luck, and stability. You have a natural “Magnetism” that makes the public trust you. If your Darakaraka DK is weak, your relationships act as a “Wealth Sink.” You might lose half your net worth in a divorce, or your business partners might drag you down into litigation.

If you want to know how to turn your relationships into a “Multiplier” for your wealth, you need to understand the math of the DK.

Part 1: What is Darakaraka (DK)?

The Darakaraka DK is the planet with the Lowest Degrees in your chart (in the 7-Karaka system).

It is the significator of the 7th House functions:

1. Kalatra (Spouse): The quality and wealth of your life partner.

2. Vanijya (Trade): Your business dealings and commerce.

3. Loka (Public): How the world perceives you; your fame.

4. Partnerships: Any 1-on-1 agreement that involves shared resources.

The “Mirror” Rule: In Jaimini, the Darakaraka DK is the “Mirror.” It shows what you attract. If the AK (Atmakaraka) is who you are, the DK is who you need to complete the journey. For many billionaires, the DK is the “CFO” of their life, managing the details the King (AK) is too busy to see.

Part 2: How to Calculate Darakaraka (DK)

By now, you’ve ranked everything else. The one left at the bottom of the list is your winner.

1. AK (Atmakaraka): 1st Highest.

2. AmK (Amatyakaraka): 2nd Highest.

3. …

4. GK (Gnatikaraka): 6th Highest.

5. DK (Darakaraka): Lowest Degree (7th).

Example Chart:

• Jupiter: 28° (AK)

• Mars: 22° (AmK)

• Saturn: 19° (BK)

• Moon: 15° (MK)

• Mercury: 11° (PK)

• Sun: 06° (GK)

• Venus: 02° 10′ (DK)

Result: Venus is the Darakaraka DK.

Part 3: Decoding the “Reflector” (Planets as DK)

The nature of your Darakaraka DK tells you the vibe of your partners and your public brand.

1. Sun as Darakaraka DK

• The Partner: High-status, authoritative, or from a political/government background. They might be a bit “Ego-centric” but they bring power.

• Public Image: You are seen as a leader. People respect your “Brand Authority.”

• Wealth Impact: Prosperity comes through government connections or large-scale organizations.

2. Moon as Darakaraka DK

• The Partner: Nurturing, emotional, and likely to have a “Public-facing” role. They might change their mind often (like the tides).

• Public Image: You are “Loved.” You have a “Soft Power” that makes people feel safe buying from you.

• Wealth Impact: Prosperity comes through the masses, food, or hospitality.

3. Mars as Darakaraka DK

• The Partner: Dynamic, technical, athletic, or perhaps a bit argumentative. They are “Doers.”

• Public Image: You are seen as a “Warrior” or a “Disruptor.” You have a “Sharp” brand.

• Wealth Impact: Prosperity comes through land, engineering, or competitive markets.

4. Mercury as Darakaraka DK

• The Partner: Intelligent, youthful, witty, and probably a better negotiator than you. A business-mind.

• Public Image: You are the “Expert.” People see you as the one with all the information.

• Wealth Impact: Prosperity comes through trading, communication, and software.

5. Jupiter as Darakaraka DK

• The Partner: The “Saint” or the “Wealthy Advisor.” Your spouse might be a teacher, a lawyer, or deeply spiritual.

• Public Image: You are seen as “Wise” and “Trustworthy.” The ultimate “Good Guy” brand.

• Wealth Impact: Prosperity comes through banking, law, or high-level consulting.

6. Venus as Darakaraka DK

• The Partner: Beautiful, artistic, and extremely lucky with money. They enjoy the finer things.

• Public Image: You are the “Icon.” Your brand is associated with luxury, aesthetics, and pleasure.

• Wealth Impact: Prosperity comes through arts, fashion, and luxury assets.

7. Saturn as Darakaraka DK

• The Partner: Older, mature, disciplined, and very serious about contracts. They might be from a humble background but build huge empires.

• Public Image: You are the “Veteran.” People see you as durable, reliable, and “Old School.”

• Wealth Impact: Prosperity comes through industry, real estate, and long-term structures.

Part 4: The Placement (DK in Houses)

Where your Darakaraka DK sits shows how your “Union” contributes to your bank account.

• DK in 1st House: Your spouse is obsessed with you. Your public image is your biggest asset. “You are the Brand.”

• DK in 2nd/11th House: The Money Multiplier. Your spouse brings a massive dowry or a high salary. Your public image directly generates cash.

• DK in 7th House (Own House): The Perfect Union. You find the ideal partner who handles 50% of the load. Business partnerships are highly profitable.

• DK in 6th/8th/12th: The “Transformation” Partner. You might face “Divorce Karma” (6th), “Sudden Change” through partners (8th), or you marry someone from a foreign land (12th).

  • Fix: If DK is in the 12th, move abroad with your partner to unlock the wealth.

Part 5: DK & The “Final Reward” Yoga

In the “Wealth & Timing Code,” we look at the relationship between the Darakaraka DK and the Atmakaraka (AK).

The “Power Couple” Yoga:

1. Find your DK (Partner).

2. Find your AK (Soul/Self).

3. If they are in a 1/7 relationship (facing each other): You and your partner are two sides of the same coin. Together, you are unstoppable. This is the signature of people who build global empires together.

The “Public Support” Yoga: If DK and AmK (Career) are together:

• Your career is the public. You are destined for fame. Your “Minister” (AmK) is serving the “People” (DK). This is common in politicians and movie stars.

Part 6: Timing the “Arrival” (Dasha of DK)

When will I get married? When will my brand go viral?

The Timeline Rules:

1. Chara Dasha of the DK Sign: This is the #1 window for marriage or signing a major business partnership. This is when the “Other” enters your life.

2. Dasha of the Sign Aspecting DK: You gain public recognition. Your “Market Value” goes up.

3. The 7th from Dasha Sign: If the 7th sign from the current Chara Dasha sign contains the Darakaraka DK, a “Union” is almost guaranteed.

The “Warning”: If you run a Dasha that is the 6th from your DK, keep your lawyers on speed-dial. This is a time of “Partner Conflict” or “Public Scandals.”

Part 7: Case Study (The Brand Architect)

The Profile:

• AK (Self): Sun (Highly ambitious).

• DK (Public): Mercury in the 11th House.

• The Connection: For years, he was a successful but “unknown” consultant.

The Event:

1. He entered the Chara Dasha of Virgo (Ruled by his Darakaraka DK – Mercury).

2. The Result: He started a YouTube channel and a newsletter. Because the DK (Mercury/Communication) was in the 11th (Gains), his public brand exploded. He went from 1,000 followers to 1 million in two years. His “Partnerships” (DK) with other influencers became his primary source of wealth.

Part 8: Action Plan (Winning with Others)

In 2026, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. Here is how to optimize your Darakaraka DK.

1. Choose Wisely: Look at your DK planet. If you are dating someone who is the opposite of your DK energy, they will eventually become a “Wealth Block.”

• Example: If your DK is Saturn (Discipline) but your partner is Mars (Chaos), your home life will drain your business energy.

2. Polish the Mirror: The world sees you through your DK. If your DK is Venus, make sure your branding is beautiful. If it’s Jupiter, make sure your branding is “Educational.”

3. The “Partner” Remedy: If you have “Relationship Luck” issues, your Darakaraka DK is likely afflicted.

• Remedy: Don’t try to change your partner. Change the way you partner. If your DK is in the 8th, don’t share a bank account initially. If it’s in the 6th, hire your spouse as a formal employee with a contract. Structure the relationship to satisfy the astrological “friction.”

Conclusion: The Journey is Shared

The Atmakaraka (AK) starts the fire. The Amatyakaraka (AmK) builds the engine. But the Darakaraka DK is the one who enjoys the ride with you.

Wealth is a tool for connection. If you have all the money in the world but a broken Darakaraka DK, you are just a rich person in a cage. Find your partner. Build your brand. And remember that the “Lowest Degree” planet is often the one that brings the “Highest Joy.”

FAQ: Darakaraka (DK)

Q: Can DK predict the physical appearance of the spouse? A: Yes, in a general sense.

• Venus DK: Very attractive, charming, artistic.

• Jupiter DK: Radiant, perhaps slightly heavy-set, wise-looking.

• Saturn DK: Thin, tall, or looks “older” than their age.

• Mars DK: Athletic, muscular, or has a “sharp” gaze.

Q: What if my DK is the same as my GK (Obstacle)? A: This is “The Karmic Spouse.” It means your partner is your primary source of growth through struggle. You might face many challenges together, or your partner might “push your buttons” constantly. In a business sense, your partners will be your toughest critics.

Q: Does DK influence my “Client” base? A: Yes. The 7th house and DK rule anyone you deal with 1-on-1. If your Darakaraka DK is Mercury, you attract “Smart/Young” clients. If it’s Saturn, you attract “Institutional/Older” clients.

Q: How does DK influence “Divorce”? A: A divorce usually happens when you run a Chara Dasha that is in a 6/8/12 relationship to the Darakaraka DK, especially if the DK is afflicted by Rahu or Ketu. However, if the DK is strong, the divorce often leads to a “Settlement” that actually increases your net worth (Venus/Jupiter DK).
