  1. Hello Guruji,
    Very nice and informative article
    I have a query
    I have Rahu 27:13 and Venus 27:04 in birth chart.
    So do we need to consider rahu or ignore it considering its shadow planet for making decision of amatyakarak.

    Dipen soni

  2. Very true. I have Rahu as AK and Exalted Moon in Navamsha as AmK. AK is in Cancer. I am spiritually inclined and very mad about it and I try hard to develop in that area than materialistic things. I find happiness in it. Job-wise I am dependent and cannot earn my own income.
