Marana Karaka Sthana — Full Table & Dasha Effects

Complete table: Sun/12H, Moon/8H, Mars/7H, Mercury/4H, Jupiter/3H, Venus/6H, Saturn/1H, Rahu/9H (Ketu has none). When a planet is in its MKS, during its dasha it cannot fulfill its responsibilities — trouble comes for the houses it owns and the house itself. Applied to Jupiter in 3H making business impossible.

"Had we tried to explain with Vimshottari Dasha, things would not line up so well. With the right conditional Dasha, things line up perfectly."

— P.V.R. Narasimha Rao

Jupiter (7L) in 3H = MKS for Jupiter → business lord in its worst house. During Jupiter dasha, business will not succeed. This confirms service career verdict from Artha Trikona analysis.

Marana Karaka Sthana (Death-Causing Position)

For each planet, there is one house in any chart where the planet is most uncomfortable — so uncomfortable it is called "death-causing":

PlanetMarana Karaka SthanaReason
Sun12th houseKing placed in house of renunciation — losing all power
Moon8th housePeace-lover placed in house of anxiety/instability
Mars7th houseWarrior placed in house of relationships — Mars is karaka for celibacy (like Hanuman), 7th = marriage
Mercury4th house—
Jupiter3rd housePriest placed in house of initiative/weapons — uncomfortable
Venus6th houseEnjoyment karaka in house of celibacy
Saturn1st houseIf Saturn is placed in lagna, you're asking him to give vitality — he doesn't know how
Rahu9th houseScoundrel/cheat placed in temple/dharma house
Ketu(no Marana Karaka Sthana)—

Effect: When a planet is in its Marana Karaka Sthana, during that planet's dasha, there will be trouble related to the houses that planet owns AND to the house itself. The planet is too uncomfortable to fulfill its responsibilities properly.

Application: If the 7th lord (business lord) is in Marana Karaka Sthana, the person cannot excel in business during that dasha.
