“We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.”

-Gwendolyn Brooks

Among the most common challenges we face today are the insecurities that are rooted deep within ourselves. Call it trauma or troubles, a lot of these problems are linked to the way of the world or rather, our world– family.

You are destined to form some bonds and break some but most importantly, you will realise that the equation you form with your family radiates in your persona. So yes, your siblings, parents, and children are all affecting and altering your life (as you read). Interesting, isn’t it?

The BhratriKaraka planet is the third most influential planet in the Kundli, ranking right after the Atmakarka and Amatyakarka. This blog will shed light on how the planet holding the third highest degree in the chart shapes your bonds. Let’s dive in.

What is The Signifance of Planets as BhratriKaraka?

The planet designated as the BhratriKaraka in a horoscope plays a crucial role in shaping the native’s destiny and interactions with siblings, friends, father, and mentors. While Mars traditionally holds dominion over this position, the specific planet occupying the BhratriKaraka will exert the primary influence. It governs the third and ninth houses. Additionally, it influences hobbies, interests, prosperity, and the impact of a guru on one’s life. It also correlates with higher education, learning, and foreign travel.
