Thanks in advance for your clarification.

Yes, you are correct... since rāhu is always retrograde it starts in a sign at 2929'29'' which is the lowest degree for rāhu;
we subtact 30 - 2929'29'' = 0000'01''.
Yes, rāhu can be ātmakāraka , but not ketu. Ketu has no head, and therefore not a candidate.
All the cara kāraka-s can be collected into 3 maco-groups:
- those that assist, influence, ~ play a role~ in ones overall purpose in life
- those that assist/influence in realizing one's ambitions/desires/intentions
- those that are objects of one's desires and intentions
So there are 8 cara kāraka-s. Why not 9 ? ketu is not a player in this cara kāraka scheme of things.
Placement of the ātmakāraka in trines and quadrants from lagna lord (ascendent) is conducive to spiritual orientations or moving to a spiritual path ( becoming or bhāva ) in this life. I mention this because this is where most of my interest lies regarding jyotiṣh.
iti śivaṁ
words
cara kāraka : cara =means moving + kāraka is who or what produces or creates . That is, one graha may be the ātmakāraka for one chart and not another. They are moving vs. fixed or sthiti meaning standing , staying , remaining rooted in bhaj , ' to make a stay'.
