Karakas in Astrology

In Vedic astrology planets are responsible for certain things in our life, no matter in which house they are placed. For understand this I give example like Mars is the ruler of 1st and 8th house but Mars is the karaka ( significator ) of courage and brothers, it does not matter where Mars placed in the birth chart. So in life every planet is responsible for certain things. 

So let’s check what planet signifies what in our life.

Sun: Physical vitality, soul, father, carrier and power. When check birth chart we look Sun it does not matter where Sun is placed in birth chart.

Moon: Peace, happiness, comfort, mind and mother.

Mars: Brothers, and courage, and real estate.

Mercury: Sister, intelligence, reasoning, Business, and speech.

Jupiter: Wisdom, wealth, Marriage for women, husband, children, and general luck.

Venus: beauty, Marriage for men, wife, vehicles, convenience, pleasures, and luxury.

Saturn: Karma, carrier, responsibility, longevity, and sorrows.

Rahu: Future growth.

Ketu: Past life, and Moksha.

In the birth chart these planets signify all these things in our life. To check all these things (written above) we need to check these planets and at the same time lord of the house. e. g.  If you want to check partner in your life you need to check Venus for men and Jupiter for women at the same time 7th lord in your birth chart.

Now in life every house represents something according to your ascendant. But there is karakas (significator of house) also. E. G. If you want to check someone’s physical health you need to check 1st house lord according to your ascendant, sixth house lord and at the same time karaka of 1st house, which is Sun, it does not matter which ascendant you are.

Not including karakas in prediction, prediction is incomplete. Let’s if someone running through Venus Mahadasha on should look what Venus signify and at the same time where Venus is placed and which house it rule. As Venus karaka or significator wife in men chart, so in Venus mahadasha the person's wife also get activated depending on your Venus placement in your Birth Chart.
