The Keeper Of Fate And Maternal Karma

In Vedic astrology, Dhata is a divine force that helps carry forward past karma into this life. The D40 chart (Khavedamsha) is connected to maternal lineage, meaning it reveals blessings or burdens inherited from the mother’s side of the family.

Who is Dhata? Dhata is a creator and preserver, responsible for ensuring that people experience the results of their past actions. He does not judge but simply delivers karma from past lives, which often comes through the mother’s family line.

When a planet is in Dhata’s domain in D40, its Dasha period (major planetary period) brings events related to fate, inherited karma, and maternal influences. These experiences may feel unavoidable, like gifts or burdens passed down from the ancestors.

With the Sun in Dhata’s section, the person’s authority, respect, and recognition are shaped by their maternal lineage.

If well-placed: The person may be born into a well-respected maternal family, inheriting leadership qualities. They may gain power, success, and support from maternal ancestors.

If afflicted: The person may face ego struggles, conflicts with authority, or damage to their reputation, often due to past-life misdeeds.
