Karma

Karma is action, and the continuing effect of action.

What the word means

From the root kṛ, to do.

How it is calculated

Not calculated. A chart is read as a picture of prārabdha karma, the portion ripening in this life.

History

A core idea across Vedic, Buddhist and Jain thought. It has also been misused to justify caste and suffering, which Vedaz rejects.

Energy

Momentum.

Physical description

None. It is seen in patterns, not in the sky.

Interpretation

Traditions name several kinds, including prārabdha (ripening now) and āgami (newly created).

Vedaz's interpretation

The chart is drawn from prārabdha karma, and free will remains the driver. Knowing the map lets you act consciously and create new karma. Vedaz studies karma without blame.

This is a symbolic pattern, not a prediction. Nothing in a chart removes your agency. Vedaz content is reflective and is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
