Use for: 'what yogas does my chart have', 'am I a raja yoga native', 'does Jaimini show wealth/renunciation/Bandhana'.

jaimini_yogas_data

Determines if all 7 planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu (north and south lunar nodes), traditionally associated with themes of delay, an unconventional path, and cycles of challenge followed by breakthrough. The dosha name indicates direction (Kala Sarpa vs Kala Amrita) and the specific axis involved shapes which life areas are most affected. Use for: 'why do I keep facing delays in everything', 'is there a karmic obstacle in my chart', 'why is life so non-linear for me', any chart where classical promises are not delivering. Interpret: yoga_present=false = no KSD. If present, check life_areas — those domains face karmic delay. Peak period (when dosha is most intense) aligns with Rahu/Ketu dasha periods.

analyze_kala_sarpa_dosha

Assesses Mars placement relative to the traditional marriage houses (1,2,4,7,8,12) with a severity score and classical cancellation rules. Mild/Moderate/Severe dosha = increasing friction, delay, or conflict in marriage/partnerships. Includes classical cancellation exceptions that reduce or nullify the dosha. Use for: 'do I have Mangal Dosha', 'is Mars affecting my marriage', 'what does Mangal Dosha mean for compatibility', 'how is Mars positioned relative to my partnership houses'. Interpret: has_mangal_dosha=true + severity=Severe + no exceptions = genuine obstacle; severity=Mild + multiple exceptions = minimal concern; always cross-check with mangal_dosha_compatibility for partner matching.

analyze_mangal_dosha

Analyzes Mangal Dosha cross-match between two charts — whether the partners' Mars doshas cancel each other under the classical matching rules. Classical texts advise caution and remedies when only one partner has an uncancelled Mangal Dosha. Call alongside guna_matching — this is the Mars-specific complement to the guna score. Use for: 'do our Mangal Doshas cancel', 'is our Mars compatibility okay', 'we both have Mangal Dosha — is that fine', any marriage compatibility question involving Mars. Interpret: cancellation_occurs=true = the doshas cancel, or neither partner has one; cancellation_occurs=false = a dosha remains uncancelled; cancellation_reason names the rule that applied.

mangal_dosha_compatibility

Quantifies how favorable each planet's transit is through each house using a 0-8 bindu point system. The most reliable transit strength indicator — 4+ bindus = good transit results, below 4 = difficult. Always call alongside planets_transits to know if a transit will actually manifest positively. Use for: 'will this transit help me', 'how strong is Jupiter transiting my 7th house', any predictive transit analysis. Interpret: bindus 7-8 = excellent transit results; 5-6 = good; 4 = adequate; 1-3 = transit causes difficulty despite being in a 'favorable' house; 0 = no support at all. A planet showing favorable=true in planets_transits but only 2 bindus = weak actual result.

planets_ashtakavarga

Reveals a planet's current state — whether it is awake/asleep, young/old, proud or ashamed. Classical texts read a planet in a dormant (Mrita) or sleeping (Sushupti) avastha as giving weak results even if strongly placed. Use for: 'why is my Venus not giving results despite being in a good house', 'is a planet capable of delivering', understanding why expected outcomes are delayed or blocked. Interpret: Baladi state — Bala (infant/young, weak but developing), Kumara (youth, emerging), Yuva (young adult, strongest delivery), Vriddha (old, declining), Mrita (dormant, weakest). Deeptadi (a planet can be in several) — Dipta (exalted, full results), Svastha (own sign, good results), Mudita (great friend's sign), Shanta (friend's sign), Dina (neutral sign), Dukhita (enemy's sign), Khala (great enemy's sign), Bhita (debilitated), Vikala (with a malefic), Nipeedita (lost a planetary war), Shakta (retrograde), Kopa (combust). Lajjita (in the 5th house with a malefic) = classically 'ashamed': results tend to come late or modestly.

planets_avasthas

The D60 Shastiamsa — the most refined divisional chart, showing past-life karmic imprint on each planet. Each planet falls in one of 60 named amsas with a specific nature: Saumya (S) = benefic/auspicious karma, Krura (K) = malefic/challenging karma, Preta/Purisha = severely inauspicious (defiling/obstructing karma). Use for: 'why does X keep happening despite nothing explaining it in D1', 'what is the karmic theme of my life', 'past life karma reading', 'why does a strong planet give bad results', spiritual or karmic depth analysis. Interpret: a planet in a Krura amsa carries obstructing karma in its domain even if well-placed in D1. Preta/Purisha = most severe past-karma obstacle for that planet's significations.

planets_d60_amsa

The foundational natal map — house placement, sign, exact degree, directional movement (direct/retrograde), house lordship, and combustion status for all 9 Vedic planets plus ascendant. This is ALWAYS the first tool to call for any natal chart question — all other tools build on this foundation. Use for: any chart reading, 'where is my Moon', 'what sign is my ascendant', 'which house does Venus rule in my chart', as the base for all subsequent analysis. Interpret: house=placement in natal chart; sign=zodiac sign; degree=exact position; lordship_houses=which life areas this planet governs; is_combust=true means planet is weakened by Sun proximity (within its combustion orb: Moon 12°, Mars 17°, Mercury 14° (12° retrograde), Jupiter 11°, Venus 10° (8° retrograde), Saturn 15°; null for the Sun, Rahu and Ketu).

planets_data

Shows how comfortable each planet is in its sign — exalted (peak strength), own sign (at home), moolatrikona, neutral, enemy, or debilitated (weakest). Determines the inherent quality of a planet's expression. Use for: 'is my Jupiter strong', 'why is Mars giving bad results', 'which planets are well-placed in my chart', assessing sign-based planetary strength before reading life areas. Interpret: Exalted (E; DE = deeply exalted) = planet at maximum power, gives exceptional results in its domain; Own sign (O) = planet comfortable, reliable results; Moolatrikona (M) = strong, on a par with own sign; Friendly (F) = supportive; Neutral (N) = average expression; Enemy (En) = uncomfortable, inconsistent; Debilitated (D; DD = deeply debilitated) = weakest, struggles to give results, needs neechabhanga to recover.

planets_dignity

Identifies which planets are benefic (helpful) vs malefic (harmful) specifically for this person's ascendant sign — the same planet can help one lagna and hurt another. Use for: 'which planets are good for me', 'is Saturn good or bad in my chart', 'which planet should I strengthen', interpreting any planet's role in this chart. Interpret: functional_benefic = planet actively helps this lagna's life purpose; functional_malefic = planet creates obstacles/disruptions for this lagna; neutral = mixed or context-dependent results. Always read dasha and transit results through this lens.

planets_functional_classification

Identifies exception conditions that override a planet's expected behavior: retrograde (planet gives results in delayed, unusual, or internalized ways), combustion (within its combustion orb of the Sun — Moon 12°, Mars 17°, Mercury 14° (12° retrograde), Jupiter 11°, Venus 10° (8° retrograde), Saturn 15° — = planet loses its individual signification, cannot deliver fully), planetary war (two planets within 1° = weaker planet is severely damaged), and exact exaltation/debilitation degree (peak strength or peak weakness). Always check BEFORE interpreting any planet's results — a strong exalted planet that is also combust is severely compromised. Use for: 'why is my planet not giving expected results', 'is retrograde Mercury affecting me', 'which planets are in exception states', any chart where results seem contradictory to placement. Interpret: retrograde+strong placement = results come, but through struggle; combust = signification of that planet is suppressed in the person's life.

planets_modifiers

Reveals the star-level (nakshatra) placement of each planet — the sub-quality, ruling deity, and pada that shapes HOW a planet expresses. Two planets in the same sign behave very differently based on their nakshatra. Critical for reading texture, timing dasha cycles precisely, and interpreting sub-periods. Use for: 'what nakshatra is my Moon in', 'why does my Sun behave unusually in Gemini', 'what is the quality of my dasha period', karma and spiritual readings. Interpret: nakshatra lord = the sub-ruler whose themes color the planet's expression (e.g., Moon in Bharani ruled by Yama = karmic themes of transformation); pada 1-4 maps to D9 houses (pada 1=Aries D9 etc.); nakshatra lord's natal condition determines if nakshatra themes manifest positively or negatively.

planets_nakshatra

The classical six-fold quantitative strength score for each planet — the most comprehensive single metric of planetary power. Output includes total rupas, minimum required rupas, and a verdict (Exceptional/Strong/Adequate/Weak). A planet below minimum rupas cannot fully deliver its results even if well-placed. Use for: 'is my Mars strong enough to give career results', 'why is my Venus not performing despite being in own sign', any question about whether a planet has the strength to manifest its promise. Interpret: total_rupas vs required_rupas = actual strength vs needed threshold.

planets_shadbala

Shows each planet's position across 16 key divisional charts simultaneously — the full varga matrix. Each varga reveals a specific life dimension: D1=physical life, D9=marriage/soul, D10=career, D7=children, D12=parents, D16=vehicles/comforts, D20=spirituality, D30=misfortune, D60=karma. Use for: 'give me a complete multi-dimensional chart reading', 'how is my career destiny' (check D10), 'what is my marriage quality' (check D9). Interpret: a planet strong in D1 but weak in D10 = good personality but career struggles. Vargottama (same sign in D1 and D9) = exceptionally strong planet.

planets_shodasvarga

Calculates exact degree-based aspect strength (0-100%) between every planet pair. Unlike sign-based classical aspects, sputha reveals precisely how strongly planets influence each other. A 43% aspect is weak influence; 85%+ is strong activation. Use for: 'how strongly does Saturn aspect my Moon', 'is Jupiter really protecting my 7th house', 'why is there conflict between two planets', understanding precise planetary relationships. Interpret: high aspect % = strong mutual influence; near 0% = planets barely interact despite being in the same sign or aspecting by sign.

planets_sputha_aspects

Shows where current planets are transiting relative to natal houses, with favorable/unfavorable verdict from lagna and Moon. This is the real-time cosmic weather — the external triggers activating the natal chart. from_date/to_date are OPTIONAL — omit them to default to the next 12 months from today; pass them only for a specific window (from_date can equal to_date for a single day). Use for: 'how will today/this week/this month be', 'when will Jupiter help my career', 'why is this period so difficult', any timing or prediction question. ALWAYS pair with planets_ashtakavarga to verify bindu count (transit favorable only if 4+ bindus in that house). ALWAYS pair with planets_vimshottari_dasha — transit without dasha context is incomplete. Interpret: favorable=true + high bindus + dasha lord transiting well = strong positive period.

planets_transits

Measures each planet's aggregate strength across 16 divisional charts on a 0-20 scale. Complements shadbala: a planet can have modest D1 strength but high vimsopaka, meaning it delivers subtly but reliably across all life dimensions. Score 15-20=very strong, 10-15=good, below 10=weak. Use for: 'how strong is my planet overall across all life areas', 'why does this planet give inconsistent results', deep strength analysis beyond shadbala. Interpret: high vimsopaka + weak shadbala = planet works better at a spiritual/deeper level; strong shadbala + weak vimsopaka = planet is powerful in D1 but not consistently across vargas.

planets_vimsopaka_bala

Calculates shadow sub-planets that reveal hidden malefic influences not visible from the main 9 planets. Gulika (most important, son of Saturn) is a strong sensitizing signal for the house it occupies. Mandi in H7 = classical sensitivity in partnerships; in H1 = sensitivity in vitality/self; in H2 = classical caution around finances. Also provides Mrityu Bhaga (a classical critical degree) — a planet at this exact degree is considered notably weakened in its expression. Use for: 'why is this house not giving results despite good planets', 'are there hidden obstacles in my chart', any unexplained chronic difficulty in a life area. Interpret: check Gulika and Mandi house placement first — their presence is a strong malefic signal.

all_upgrahas

The primary timing tool — reveals which planet's 120-year cycle is currently 'running' at three levels: mahadasha (major period, years), antardasha (sub-period, months), pratyantar dasha (micro-period, weeks). The dasha lord determines WHICH natal promise is being activated RIGHT NOW. from_date can equal to_date for a single day. Use for: 'when will I get married/job/child', 'how will this year be', 'what period am I in', 'why is this time so difficult or successful', any prediction question. ALWAYS call alongside planets_transits — dasha sets the theme, transit triggers the event. Interpret: if dasha lord is well-placed natally AND transiting favorably = high probability of good results. Dasha lord debilitated or combust = results delayed or blocked despite favorable transits.

planets_vimshottari_dasha

Returns major aspect configurations (grand trines, T-squares, stellia, grand crosses, yods) and the chart's dispositor chain showing which planets rule which. Use for: 'does my chart have a grand trine', 'is there a stellium', 'who is the final dispositor', any question about chart patterns or planetary hierarchies. Interpret: grand trine (3 trines) = area of natural ease, sometimes complacency; T-square (2 squares + opposition) = dynamic tension that drives achievement; stellium (3+ planets in one sign/house) = concentrated focus/obsession there; yod (2 quincunxes + sextile) = fated adjustment point. Dispositor chain reveals which planet ultimately 'rules' the chart by sign. Call alongside western_aspects_data for the full aspect picture.

western_patterns_data

Returns all natal aspects between planets with exact orb, applying/separating state, and hard/soft quality classification. Use for: 'what aspects does my Sun make', 'are there any squares in my chart', 'which planets are in tension', any aspect pattern or compatibility question. Interpret: conjunction (0°) = fusion/emphasis; opposition (180°) = tension/awareness; trine (120°) = ease/talent; square (90°) = challenge/drive; sextile (60°) = opportunity. Applying = aspect is tightening (more potent); separating = separating (effect waning). Combine with western_patterns_data for stellia, grand trines, T-squares.

western_aspects_data

Returns essential and accidental dignities for every planet — rulership, exaltation, detriment, fall, mutual receptions, peregrine status, and an overall dignity score. Also reports the chart's sect (day or night). Use for: 'which planets are strong in my chart', 'is my Venus dignified', 'what is the chart ruler', any question about planetary strength or weakness. Interpret: rulership/exaltation = planet at full/heightened strength; detriment/fall = planet in weakened or stressful condition; peregrine = no essential dignity, planet must rely on others; mutual reception = two planets exchanging strength (powerful alliance). mode: 'traditional' uses Ptolemaic terms/faces (classical analysis); 'modern' adds outer-planet rulerships.

western_dignities_data

Returns all twelve tropical house cusps with sign, ruling planet, angular/succedent/cadent classification, and which planets occupy each house. Requires a birth time — houses are unavailable without it. Use for: 'what is my ascendant', 'which house rules my career', 'what is in my 7th house', any life-domain or house-cusp question. Interpret: angular houses (1, 4, 7, 10) = strongest impact, immediate expression; succedent (2, 5, 8, 11) = support and resources; cadent (3, 6, 9, 12) = learning and release. rulership_mode: 'modern' uses Uranus/Neptune/Pluto as outer-planet rulers; 'traditional' uses only the classical seven planets.

western_houses_data

Returns the Arabic Lots — at minimum the Part of Fortune — with sect-aware formulas, longitude, sign, degree, and house placement. Requires a birth time. Use for: 'where is my Part of Fortune', 'what house is Fortune in', any question about Arabic Parts or Lots in the chart. Interpret: Part of Fortune = synthesis point of Sun, Moon, and Ascendant; day chart formula = ASC + Moon − Sun; night chart formula = ASC + Sun − Moon. Its house placement and aspects show where material ease and overall well-being are found.

western_lots_data

Returns all ten tropical natal planets — Sun through Pluto — with their sign, degree, house placement, direct/retrograde status, and speed. This is the foundational tool for any Western chart reading: call it first to establish where each planet sits. Use for: 'what sign is my Sun', 'is Mercury retrograde', 'which house is Venus in', any question about a planet's natal position. Interpret: sign = personality filter/style the planet operates through; house = life domain where its energy manifests; retrograde = internalized, delayed, or unconventional expression.

western_planets_data

Identifies destiny-shaping planetary combinations — yogas (positive: wealth, power, fame) and doshas (negative: obstacles, delays, reduction of benefic results). Examples: Raja yoga=authority/leadership, Dhana yoga=wealth, Vipareet Raja yoga=rise through adversity, Kendradhipati dosha=benefic planet loses strength when owning both quadrant and trine. Use for: 'will I be successful/wealthy/powerful', 'why do I keep facing obstacles', 'what is my life's dominant theme', any question about life destiny patterns. Interpret: yoga status Y=active/formed, N=not formed. Check yoga_cancelled field — a cancelled yoga means the combination exists but is neutralized.
