Jyotishassa karma lienee keskeinen käsite.
Maharshi Patañjalin Yoga-suutra -pläjäyksessä
karma mainitaan mm. suutrassa III 23:

sopakramaM nirupakramaM ca karma tat-saMyamâd
aparânta-jñânam ariSTebhyo vâ.

Taimnin käännös:

Karma is of two kinds: active and dormant;
by performing saMyama on them (is gained)
knowledge of the time of [beep]; also by  (performing
saMyama on) portents.

Pätkä Taimnin kommentaarista:

Those who are familiar with the doctrine of karma
will recall that karma is of three kinds: prârabdha,
saMcita and kriyamâNa. Well, saMcita karma is the
total stock of accumulated karma, generated by
an individual during the present and previous lives,
which has still to be worked out. Prârabdha ist that
portion of the total stock which has to be worked
out in the present incarnation. This portion is
selected out of the total stock at the beginning of
each incarnation according to the opportunities provided
by the circumstances of the incarnation for the working
out of particular types of karma. KriyamâNa is the karma
which is generated from day to day.Some of this is
exhausted immediately while the remainder goes to swell
the accumulated stock.
