Darakaraka (Spouse Significator) is the planet with the lowest degree among the 7 traditional planets (excluding Rahu and Ketu) in your birth chart. It represents your future spouse's personality, appearance, and characteristics. Each planet as Darakaraka indicates different spouse qualities — from appearance to behavior patterns. This is a key concept in Jaimini astrology for marriage predictions.

The Darakaraka planet is primary for spouse traits, but Venus (love planet) and 7th house lord (marriage significator) also influence characteristics. Darakaraka indicates core personality and appearance, Venus shows romantic qualities, and 7th lord reveals marriage-related behaviors. All three combine for comprehensive spouse traits analysis.

Darakaraka predictions for spouse appearance are remarkably accurate when calculated with precise birth time. The planet's nature correlates with physical features: Sun Darakaraka suggests strong build, Venus indicates beauty, Moon suggests fair complexion, Mars indicates athletic build, etc. Accuracy improves when combined with 7th house analysis and Navamsa chart examination.

Weak or debilitated Darakaraka doesn't mean an unattractive spouse, but may indicate delayed marriage or spouse facing challenges in that planet's areas. However, other chart factors, beneficial aspects, and planetary periods can mitigate these effects. Remedies can strengthen weak Darakaraka influences.

Darakaraka shows who your spouse is internally, while 7th house shows how marriage unfolds. Both are essential for complete spouse understanding.

No, you have only one Darakaraka — the planet with the lowest degree. However, if multiple planets have exactly the same lowest degree (extremely rare), they're considered together. The closer the degree to 0, the stronger the Darakaraka influence.
