The knowledge that we have on Jaimini Astrology today is
based on ancient texts known as Jaimini Sutras. It is a unique system of
astrology though the predictions are synonymous with that of Parasara
system. This system is based on the principle that a planet that has
highest degrees in any sign rules characteristics and life of the
native.
The unique features of Jaimini System are:
- Seven karakas represented by seven planets
- Aspects of the signs
- Dasas of zodiacal signs
- Application of different Dasa systems for different events in life
- Results of combinations of karakas or yogas of karakas
- Advanced system of calculating strength of planets
Jaimini introduced the concept of karakatvas for planets. He categorizes
seven planets as Atmakaraka (Own self, considered the strongest planet)
Amatyakaraka (Career) Bhratrukaraka (Brothers and sisters) Matrukaraka
(Mother) Putrakaraka (Children) Gnatikaraka (Cousins and relations)
Darakaraka (Husband, wife) according to the descending order of the
longitudes of planets in the signs they are. The planet with highest
number of degrees is called as Atmakaraka and the one with the least
degrees is called Darakaraka.
Jaimini introduced a new way of aspects for signs and the planets in
them according to the nature of signs. The rule is simple; Planet in
movable sign aspects fixed sign, planet in fixed sign aspect the movable
sign and planet in dual sign aspects another dual sign.
Yogas in Jaimini system are quite different from the traditional system
of Yogas. There are of course Raja Yogas, Dhana Yogas and Arishta Yogas.
These yogas can be considered from the position, aspect and conjunction
of Karakas.
Dasa Systems that propounded by Jaimini are several. Dasa systems are
mainly that of Signs and not Planets unlike Parasara System. By using
each kind of Dasa one can easily predict certain specific events in
one’s life.
