Ishta Devta is your personal tutelary deity — the divine form most aligned with your soul. In Vedic astrology it is determined from the 12th house from Karakamsha (the Navamsha sign of the Atmakaraka planet).

Atmakaraka is the planet that has traversed the most degrees within its sign (0°–30°) among the seven planets Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. It is considered the significator of the soul.

Karakamsha is the Navamsha (D9) sign occupied by the Atmakaraka planet. The planet or sign lord of the 12th house counted from Karakamsha reveals the Ishta Devta.

What is Ishta Devta?

Ishta Devta (Iṣṭa Devatā) means "chosen deity" — the divine form most attuned to your soul's frequency. In Jaimini astrology, the planet with the highest degree within its sign is called the Atmakaraka (soul significator). Its Navamsha (D9) sign is the Karakamsha. The planet occupying or ruling the 12th house from Karakamsha reveals your Ishta Devta.
