To Vedic Astrology enthusiasts, the term “Marana Karaka Sthana” might not be new. However, many have an interest in Vedic Astrology but are not aware of Marana Karaka Sthana. So, for all, who know or don’t know, we will discuss Marana Karaka Sthana for all planets. A distinguished astrologer in Kolkata, Astrologer Sourav Chatterjee (Roy), will define it for us in simple language and make us understand how each planet behaves/influences us while they are in their Marana Karaka Sthana (Death-like State House). So, let us delve into the discussion. We will start with defining “What is Marana Karaka Sthana?”

What is Marana Karaka Sthana?

A Marana Karaka Sthana is the house where a specific planet feels weak and loses power. Each planet has its specific Marana Karaka House where it is unable to provide its results, loses energy to deal with challenges, and lacks stability.

Marana Karaka Sthana (MKS) for Each Planet with Effects

1. Marana Karaka Sthana for Saturn:
If Saturn is in the 1st house, it loses its karaka. It finds it hard to deal with hurdles and makes natives procrastinate or avoid tricky situations. Only discipline and a sense of responsibility can save the natives here.

2. Marana Karaka Sthana for Jupiter:
Jupiter in the 3rd house is not considered well. 3rd house is the house of courage and action. Hence, Jupiter cannot work well in this house and makes natives less confident.

3. Marana Karaka Sthana for Mercury:
The 4th and 7th houses are the Marana Karaka Sthana for Mercury. Mercury is open-minded, not enough responsible, and asexual. However, the 4th and 7th house requires balance to maintain a relationship with all in the family and bond between couples respectively. Mercury is not good at accomplishing responsibilities due to its immature nature.

4. Marana Karaka Sthana for Ketu:
4th house is the MKS for Ketu. Ketu is detachment, isolation, and liberation. However, a home needs completely different features to run well. Thus, Ketu in the 4th house is not auspicious as it dries up the bonds among members.

5. Marana Karaka Sthana for Venus:
Venus is the planet of love and relationship. 6th house Venus cannot express its real self due to debts, diseases, and services. So, Venus becomes restless here and provides suffering only. Natives yearn for true love with Venus in the 6th house.

6. Marana Karaka Sthana for Mars:
Mars is the karaka of courage, aggression, and conflict and the 7th house does not fit well with Martian traits. Hence, Mars in the 7th house causes problems in married life and destroys the peaceful environment of the home.

7. Marana Karaka Sthana for Moon:
The 8th house is the MKS for Moon. The harsh, secretive, and dark environment of the 8th house does not suit the energy of the Moon, the planet of emotion and peace. Thus, the 8th house Moon is problematic for the native and his mother.

8. Marana Karaka Sthana for Sun:
The 12th house is the house of liberation, leaving up all desire and wealth, and living in isolation. Sun being a King cannot do these all and it becomes sad. So, the 12th house Sun is problematic.

9. Marana Karaka Sthana for Rahu:
The 9th house is the MKS for Rahu. It is the house of Dharma and Morality. Rahu has no business with these all and it creates problematic situations for natives and brings bad luck to their fathers.
