Jaimini Astrology Software for Deeper Chart Analysis
Explore Jaimini astrology through Chara Karakas, Argala, Arudha Padas, divisional charts, fusion charts and Chara Dasha analysis.
MKundali provides a dedicated Jaimini workspace for examining planetary charts, Chara Karakas and Argala. With additional support for Arudha Padas, Jaimini Chara Dasha and selected Jaimini-linked Yoga analysis, the software brings several important elements of Jaimini astrology into one integrated environment.
Workspace overview
The Jaimini Workspace and Its Related Tools
The Jaimini tab has four components. Other Jaimini-related facilities live in shared workspaces and are reached from there, not from the Jaimini tab.
In the Jaimini workspace
In shared workspaces
- Arudha PadasAn outer-layer option of Fusion Charts
- Chara DashaIn the Rashi Dashas workspace (Parashari → Dasha)
- Jaimini references in YogasIn the shared Yoga workspace
Some tools may be restricted to certain subscription plans. See the Pricing page for current availability.
Jaimini workspace
Standard Charts – Examine Multiple Jaimini Chart Divisions
The Jaimini workspace provides multiple standard chart slots for examining the Rashi chart and selected divisional charts. Configure the chart presentation and switch between different Varga views within the same workspace.
Chart Layouts
- North Indian
- South Indian
- East Indian
- Western
Chart Controls
- Multiple standard chart slots
- Add and remove chart slots
- Independent Varga selection
- Chart style selection
- Chart rotation
- Special point options
- Chart legend
- Full View
These options allow astrologers to examine several chart divisions side by side without repeatedly switching between separate workspaces. Individual chart types and options may depend on the subscription plan.
Jaimini workspace
Fusion Charts – Compare Related Chart Layers Together
Fusion Charts allow the astrologer to combine two selected chart layers in one graphical representation. The inner and outer layers can be configured independently.
Inner and Outer Charts
- Select an inner chart
- Select an outer chart
- Combine selected divisional chart layers
- Configure multiple fusion slots
- Add and remove fusion charts
- Select chart style
- Rotate the chart view
Special Outer Layers
Where supported by the fusion selector, the outer layer can also be a special chart layer.
- Arudha Padas
- Aspects
- Sarva Ashtakavarga
- Transit
- Progression
- Bhrighu Chakra
Arudha Padas are explained in their own section. Some special layers are outer-only, and availability may depend on the subscription plan.
Fusion Charts make it easier to examine relationships between selected chart divisions and specialised chart overlays in one view.
Jaimini workspace
Chara Karakas – Identify the Jaimini Planetary Significators
Chara Karakas are central to Jaimini chart interpretation. MKundali calculates and displays the selected Chara Karaka scheme using planetary degrees within their respective signs.
Chara Karaka Table
The table shows four columns: Code, Karaka, Planet and Degree in Sign. The labels follow the selected scheme.
| Code | Karaka | Scheme note |
|---|---|---|
| AK | Atmakaraka | All schemes |
| AmK | Amatyakaraka | All schemes |
| BK | Bhratrukaraka | All schemes |
| MK | Matrukaraka | All schemes |
| PiK | Pitrukaraka | 8-karaka scheme only |
| PK | Pitrukaraka (7-karaka schemes) or Putrakaraka (8-karaka scheme) | Follows the selected scheme |
| GK | Gnatikaraka | All schemes |
| DK | Darakaraka | All schemes |
How the Ranking Works
Planetary degrees within their respective signs are used to determine the Chara Karaka ranking. Rahu is treated using the reverse degree calculation implemented in MKundali (30 minus its degree in the sign).
Chara Karaka Scheme Preferences
Select the Chara Karaka scheme through the existing Preferences settings. The resulting assignments are displayed in the Jaimini workspace. Three options are available:
- 7 Karakas (Exclude Pitri) – the default. Seven Karakas, ranked from the seven classical planets together with Rahu.
- 7 Karakas (Include Pitri) – seven Karakas, ranked from the seven classical planets Sun to Saturn.
- 8 Karakas (Include Rahu) – eight Karakas, with Rahu in the ranking and the additional Pitrukaraka (PiK) placed before Putrakaraka (PK).
Chara Karaka Summary
Beside the table, the summary highlights three Karakas:
- Atmakaraka (AK): the principal soul significator in Jaimini interpretation.
- Amatyakaraka (AmK): associated with professional responsibilities and career-related interpretation.
- Darakaraka (DK): associated with spouse and relationship interpretation.
The application also shows Ketu's degree as an alternate Gnatikaraka where applicable. It is informational and is not part of the ranking.
Jaimini workspace
Argala – Examine Planetary Intervention and Obstruction
Argala and Virodha-Argala are important components of Jaimini analysis. MKundali provides a dedicated Argala workspace for examining how planets influence houses and other planetary positions through Argala and its obstruction.
Chart Selection
Select the divisional chart for which Argala analysis is required. The available Varga selection is subject to subscription permissions.
Argala Analysis by House
- House
- Sign
- Primary Argala
- Virodha-Argala
- Net (primary)
- Secondary (5th / 9th)
Argala Analysis by Planet
- Planet
- Argala cast on
- Virodha-Argala cast on
- Argala received from
- Virodha-Argala received from
- Net (primary)
Net Analysis
The Net (primary) column shows whether primary Argala stands, is obstructed, is contested or has no relevant influence.
The Net result is based on primary Argala (2nd, 4th and 11th) against Virodha-Argala (12th, 10th and 3rd). Secondary 5th and 9th positions are listed separately and do not change the primary Net result.
Special Rule Handling
MKundali documents its handling of several Argala-specific conditions and rule variations in the workspace itself.
- Ketu's anti-zodiacal Argala calculation
- Third-house malefic pile-up exception (two or more malefics)
- Sign-strength tie-break analysis
- Pairwise comparison of classical Argala and Virodha-Argala positions
- Secondary 5th and 9th positions
- Benefic and malefic Virodha-Argala labels
These are MKundali's documented choices. They do not represent every Jaimini tradition, and different schools do not all use identical Argala rules. The workspace notes which common variants it does not apply.
Shared: Fusion Charts
Arudha Padas – Visualise Bhava and Graha Arudhas
MKundali provides Arudha Pada representations through the special Fusion Chart outer layer. It combines Bhava Arudhas and Graha Arudhas in one graphical view.
Bhava Arudhas
Examine the Arudha Padas associated with all twelve houses.
- AL – Arudha Lagna
- A2
- A3
- A4
- A5
- A6
- A7
- A8
- A9
- A10
- A11
- UL – Upapada Lagna
Graha Arudhas
The nine Graha Arudhas are displayed for:
- Sun
- Moon
- Mars
- Mercury
- Jupiter
- Venus
- Saturn
- Rahu
- Ketu
Combined Arudha Display
MKundali can display twelve Bhava Arudhas and nine Graha Arudhas together on the outer ring of a Fusion Chart: a combined display of 21 Arudha points.
The Arudhas are calculated for the chart chosen as the inner layer (D1 by default).
Arudha Calculation Preference
Preferences include an “Arudha Follows” setting that determines which lord to follow when calculating Arudhas.
- Stronger dual-lord (Aquarius / Scorpio) – default
- Classical Lords
Use the existing Preferences setting to control the calculation method.
Arudha Padas are not a separate Jaimini tab. They are an outer-layer option within Fusion Charts.
Shared: Rashi Dashas
Jaimini Chara Dasha – Explore Sign-Based Periods
Jaimini Chara Dasha is a sign-based Dasha system. MKundali provides two separate implementations within its shared Rashi Dashas workspace.
Find them under Parashari → Dasha → Rashi Dashas. Chara Dasha is part of the general Dasha workspace and is not a tab inside the Jaimini workspace.
Chara Dasha – JHora / PVR-Leaning Method
Examine Chara Dasha using the implemented JHora D1 and PVR-leaning calculation approach.
- Sequence starts from the Lagna sign
- Direction from the ninth sign's footedness
- Rashi sequence
- Sign lord
- Years by counting from each sign to its lord
- Scorpio and Aquarius dual-lord handling (stronger lord)
- Mahadasha timeline
- Antardasha and subsequent subdivisions
The first Mahadasha starts at birth with its full calculated duration, with no Lagna-degree remainder.
Chara Dasha – Shri K.N. Rao Method
Use the separately implemented Chara Dasha method based on Shri K.N. Rao's approach.
- Direct and Indirect sequence
- Direction from ninth-house footedness
- Rashi year calculation (1 to 12 years)
- Dual-lord selection for Scorpio and Aquarius
- Mahadasha timeline
- Antardasha and subsequent subdivisions
The first Mahadasha also starts at birth with its full calculated duration.
Dasha Controls
Both Chara Dasha implementations provide the application's shared Dasha controls.
- Year-length selection
- Find Dasha by date and time
- Period browsing through Mahadasha, Antardasha and deeper levels
The two methods use different rules for period order, years and subdivisions, so they are not interchangeable. Each is shown in its own panel.

Jaimini References in Yoga Analysis
MKundali's shared Yoga workspace uses Chara Karaka information in selected planetary combination analyses.
Examples in the Implemented Combinations
- Atmakaraka (AK) and Amatyakaraka (AmK) relationships
- Amatyakaraka dignity and placement
- Amatyakaraka with the 10th lord
- Atmakaraka with other Chara Karaka positions
- Selected Raja Sambandha combinations
- Selected rules involving Arudha Lagna (AL) and Darapada (A7)
- Bhagyapada (A9) references
These relationships allow selected Jaimini Karaka and Arudha factors to be considered alongside the shared Yoga analysis.
The Yoga workspace is shared and is not a separate Jaimini Yoga engine. Not every classical Jaimini Yoga is implemented.
