Jagannatha Hora — Vedic Astrology (Jyotish, Kundli, Horoscope, Panchang)

Generate a Vedic (sidereal) birth horoscope from birth date, time and place. Returns a summary (ascendant/lagna, Moon and Sun signs, birth nakshatras and padas); the Rashi (D-1) chart in 'rasi_chart' -- the ascendant and the nine grahas (Sun to Ketu), each with sign, degree within the sign, nakshatra and pada, plus the bhava house (equal 30° houses with the ascendant's degree at the middle of house 1, so a graha more than 15° from the ascendant's degree within its sign is one house off the plain sign count) and a retrograde flag for Mars to Saturn (these two only for the default house method and natal settings); the birth panchanga in 'calendar_info'; and the names of the other calculated sections. Call this first; later tools reuse the same cached chart for divisional charts, strengths, dashas and more. Data only -- no interpretation is added.

Return the amsa (fine sub-division) ruler for every point in the chart. Each entry maps a point to its 'sign', 'longitude', 'division_index', 'amsa_index' and 'amsa_name' (the named amsa it falls in, e.g. Dhanadaa, Sukhadaa). Points covered include the Ascendant and planets (Sun..Pluto), the upagrahas (Kaala, Mrityu, Gulika, Maandi, Dhooma, etc.), the special lagnas (Bhava, Hora, Ghati, Vighati, Pranapada, Indu, Sree, Kunda, Bhrigu Bindu), the varnada lagnas (Varnada_Lagna, V2–V12) and the sphutas (TriSphuta, Beeja_Sphuta, Tithi_Sphuta, Yogi_Sphuta, etc.). Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the arudha padas (the perceived/reflected sign of each house) for the divisional charts. Each key is '<chart>-<pada name>' (e.g. 'D-1-Arudha Lagna (AL)', 'D-1-Dhanarudha (A2)', 'D-9-Upapada Lagna (UL)') and the value is the sign that pada falls in. The 12 padas per chart are Arudha Lagna (AL), Dhanarudha (A2), Bhatrarudha (A3), Matri Pada (A4), Mantra Pada (A5), Roga Pada (A6), Dara Pada (A7), Mrityu Pada (A8), Bhagya Pada (A9), Karma Pada (A10), Labha Pada (A11) and Upapada Lagna (UL). By default only the D-1 (Rasi) chart's 12 padas are returned. To get a different chart's 12 padas, set the optional 'varga' argument to EXACTLY one of these tokens (use this exact text, with the hyphen): D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4, D-5, D-6, D-7, D-8, D-9, D-10, D-11, D-12, D-16, D-20, D-24, D-27, D-30, D-40, D-45, D-60, D-81, D-108, D-144. Only one chart is returned per call. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the Ashtakavarga bindu (benefic point) scores for the chart, labelled by planet and sign. 'binna_ashtaka_varga' (BAV) maps each of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the Ascendant to its bindu count in every sign (Aries..Pisces, 0-8 each). 'samudhaya_ashtaka_varga' (SAV) is the combined total per sign across the seven planets (sums to 337); higher SAV signs are stronger. 'sodhita_ashtaka_varga' (SoAV) is that same BAV after Trikona and Ekaadhipatya sodhana — the reduced grid the pindas are actually computed from — keyed by planet Sun..Saturn (7 rows; the Ascendant has no reduced row). 'raasi_pindas', 'graha_pindas' and 'sodhya_pindas' give per-planet pinda totals (sodhya = raasi + graha), keyed by planet Sun..Saturn. Data only — no interpretation is added. (The detailed prastara contributor grid is not included.)

Return the Bhava Bala (strength of the 12 houses/bhavas), labelled by house. Keys are 'House 1' through 'House 12' (House 1 = Lagna/Ascendant bhava). Each house maps to 'total_virupas' (total bhava strength in virupas/shashtiamsas), 'rupas' (virupas / 60) and 'strength_ratio' (rupas divided by the required minimum — above 1 means the house meets the strength threshold). A higher value means a stronger house. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the chandra arudhas: the arudha sign for each of the 12 houses counted from the Moon (Chandra Lagna). Keys are 'chandra_arudha_house_1' through 'chandra_arudha_house_12'; each value is the zodiac sign of that house's arudha. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the eight Jaimini chara (variable) karakas. Each role maps to the planet assigned to it, with that planet's sign and longitude. Roles: 'atma_karaka' (soul/self), 'amatya_karaka' (career/advisor), 'bhratri_karaka' (siblings), 'maitri_karaka' (friends/happiness), 'pitri_karaka' (father), 'putra_karaka' (children), 'jnaati_karaka' (relatives/obstacles) and 'data_karaka' (spouse). Each value has 'planet', 'sign' and 'longitude'. Roles are assigned by descending planetary longitude. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return a dasha (planetary period) timeline as a nested tree anchored on a date — past, present and future in ONE call. Works for BOTH planetary (graha) and sign (rasi) dasha systems; name the 'system' and the tool routes it automatically (default: vimsottari, anchored today, depth 3). Every period node has the same shape: 'level' (maha/antar/pratyantar/sookshma), 'ruler' (planet for graha, sign for rasi), 'start', 'end' (YYYY-MM-DD) and 'relation' (past/current/future). The result carries 'dasha_type' ('graha'/'rasi'), 'system', 'as_of', 'depth', a ready-made 'current' summary (with a 'path' and 'current_period_ends'), the full 'maha_timeline', and the expanded 'current_maha' → 'current_antar' → 'current_pratyantar' branches (rasi systems have two levels, no pratyantar; level 4 'sookshma' is graha-only). To drill into a SPECIFIC period regardless of date, pass 'maha' (and optionally 'antar') as a ruler name — it returns under 'selected_maha'/'selected_antar'. The full list of supported graha and rasi systems is the 'system' enum below. Set 'as_of_date' (YYYY-MM-DD, separate from birth 'date') to anchor on another time. Data only — no interpretation.

Return ONE divisional (varga) chart for the birth. The response maps each body (Ascendant, Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) to its position in that chart as {'sign': <zodiac sign>, 'longitude': <degrees in sign 0-30>}. HOW TO REQUEST: set the 'varga' argument to EXACTLY ONE of these tokens (use this exact text, including the hyphen — do not send names like 'Rasi' or 'Navamsa'): D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4, D-5, D-6, D-7, D-8, D-9, D-10, D-11, D-12, D-16, D-20, D-24, D-27, D-30, D-40, D-45, D-60, D-81, D-108, D-144 If 'varga' is omitted, D-1 is returned. Pick the token by the area being asked about: D-1 general/body · D-2 wealth · D-3 siblings/courage · D-4 home/property · D-5 fame/power · D-6 health/enemies · D-7 children · D-8 longevity · D-9 marriage/dharma & overall strength · D-10 career · D-11 gains · D-12 parents · D-16 vehicles/luxuries · D-20 spirituality · D-24 education · D-27 general strength · D-30 misfortunes/character · D-40 maternal legacy · D-45 paternal legacy/conduct · D-60 past-life karma · D-81 finer marriage · D-108 finer/spiritual · D-144 lineage. If an unrecognised value is sent, the response returns the list of valid tokens. Data only — no interpretation is included. (Call 'list_divisional_charts' first if you want to browse the menu.)

Return the standard dosha (planetary affliction) checks for the chart. The result maps each dosha name to the engine's text on whether the combination is present in this horoscope and the reasoning behind it. Doshas covered: Kala Sarpa Dosha, Manglik Dosha, Pitru Dosha, Guru Chandala Dosha, Ganda Moola Dosha, Kalathra Dosha, Ghata Dosha and Shrapit Dosha. The text may contain light HTML markup (e.g. <br>). It is the engine's classical reference text for astrologer interpretation; some entries quote traditional outcome statements (for example about marriage) -- present those as classical sayings, not as predictions about this person.

Planetary transit (Gochara) snapshot for a given date vs the natal chart. Returns that day's panchanga (vara, tithi+rikta, nakshatra, yoga, karana, paksha), muhurta windows (sunrise/sunset, Abhijit plus a clean Abhijit with Rahu/Gulika/Yamaganda overlap removed, and the avoid windows), all 9 planets (sign, degree, nakshatra/pada, retrograde, combust, house from Moon and Lagna, Ashtakavarga bindus, Gochara-phala favourable/Vedha), and the native's Tara Bala (Moon/Sun/Lagna), Chandra Bala and Sade Sati. Also returns the transit moment's D-1 (Rasi) and D-9 (Navamsa) charts under 'transit_charts' — each planet plus the Ascendant with sign and longitude. Rahu/Ketu use the Mean node by default; pass node_type='true' for True nodes. Data only — no verdict.

Raw transit (Gochara) details for EVERY day in a date range, in one call. For the 'AI decides' flow: returns the full per-day snapshot (panchanga, muhurta windows incl. clean Abhijit, all 9 planets, Ashtakavarga, Gochara-phala/Vedha, and the native's Tara/Chandra bala and Sade Sati) with NO scoring or 'best date' selection — you reason and decide. Natal reference computed once. Range capped at 60 days. Use get_muhurta instead if you want the system to rank dates by rules.

Return the graha arudhas: the arudha (reflected/perceived) sign for the Ascendant and for each of the nine grahas. Keys are 'Ascendant_arudha', 'Sun_arudha', 'Moon_arudha', 'Mars_arudha', 'Mercury_arudha', 'Jupiter_arudha', 'Venus_arudha', 'Saturn_arudha', 'Rahu_arudha' and 'Ketu_arudha'; each value is the zodiac sign of that arudha. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the varnada lagnas for the houses. Keys are 'V1', 'V2' … 'V12' (the varnada for each house); each value has its 'sign' and 'longitude'. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the chart's classical Ayurdaya (longevity) computations for astrologer interpretation. The tool does not issue a longevity verdict; it exposes the classical signals side-by-side. 'overall_assessment' carries the sign-modality method result only: 'life_span_category' (0=Alpayu, 1=Madhyayu, 2=Poornayu) and a 'category_name' (the classical term, without an age bracket). 'method_note' explicitly states that this reflects the sign-modality method alone and is not a reconciled verdict. 'checks_summary' counts how many enumerated combinations were present in each band. 'baladrishta_checks' (child-mortality combinations), 'alpayu_checks' (short-life combinations) and 'madhyayu_checks' (medium-life combinations) list each combination with id, name, description and a 'present' boolean. 'calculation_basis' and 'key_planetary_positions' give the inputs used. 'reference_computations' is the full inventory of classical signals: the sign-modality method result and its classical age bracket (as a cited footnote value, not a claim), the Baladrishta / Alpayu / Madhyayu enumerated combinations with source citations, and 'longevity_related_yogas.detected' — the longevity-related yogas actually present in the chart, each cited to its BV Raman combination number.

Check Vedic marriage compatibility between a couple. Unlike the other tools, this needs TWO births: 'boy' and 'girl', each an object with date (YYYY-MM-DD), time (HH:MM:SS), latitude, longitude and timezone. Returns: 'summary' (headline North score/36 + rating, South matched/10 + rating, and Manglik flags for each); 'north_indian' (Ashtakoota — the 8 kootas Varna/Vasiya/Gana/Dina-Tara/Yoni/Raasi-Adhipathi/Raasi/Naadi each with score, max, category names and quality, the 4 additional poruthams, and overall total_score/36 + percentage + rating); 'south_indian' (the 10 Porutham booleans + matched count + rating); 'boy'/'girl' (nakshatra, pada, raasi); 'boy_dosha_data'/'girl_dosha_data' (mars/sun/saturn/rahu_ketu/total dosha scores — mars_dosha>0 means Manglik); and 'beeja_rasi'/'kshetra_rasi'. By default both systems are returned; set 'system' to 'north' or 'south' to get just one. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Find auspicious dates for an event across a date range (the system ranks the dates by classical rules). Scores each day by vara, nakshatra, tithi, paksha and the native's Tara Bala / Chandra Bala / Sade Sati, per the event's rule table, returning candidates sorted by a deterministic score (with breakdown + weights), the Abhijit / clean best-window and the Rahu/Gulika/Yamaganda avoid-windows. A failed mandatory rule caps the score. event_type is one of: griha_pravesha_own, griha_pravesha_rented, travel_prayana, vehicle_purchase, business_shop_opening, property_purchase_registration. Data only — the caller writes the recommendation. (Use get_gochara_range instead to get raw per-day details and decide yourself.)

Return the birth (sidereal) nakshatra, nakshatra number, pada (quarter), nakshatra lord and degrees-within-nakshatra for every body in the chart: the Ascendant (lagna), the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, plus the outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Each entry contains: 'nakshatra' (one of the 27 nakshatras, e.g. Bharani, Magha, Ashwini), 'nakshatra_number' (1-27), 'pada' (1-4, the quarter of the nakshatra), 'nakshatra_lord' (the planet ruling that nakshatra) and 'degrees_in_nakshatra' (0-13.333, the body's position within the nakshatra). Data only — no interpretation is included.

Return the additional planetary strength measures for the seven planets (Sun..Saturn). Contains 'harsha_bala' (joy/positional strength), 'pancha_vargeeya_bala' (five-source compound strength), 'dwadhasa_vargeeya_bala' (twelve-source strength), 'ishta_phala' (benefic result, 0-60) and 'kashta_phala' (malefic result, 0-60). Ishta phala is the square root of (uchcha bala x cheshta bala) and kashta phala the square root of ((60 - uchcha bala) x (60 - cheshta bala)), following B.V. Raman's Graha and Bhava Balas; they are independent measures and do NOT sum to 60. Each is a map of planet name to its value. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Sign-change (ingress) dates for one or more planets across a date range, retrograde-aware. Returns every sidereal sign change (default planets: the slow movers Saturn/Jupiter/Rahu/Ketu), including retrograde back-out and re-entry, each flagged forward/retrograde and with 'final_settling' marking the last crossing of each boundary in the window. Use for 'when does Saturn/Jupiter change sign' timing. Data only. Range capped at ~5 years.

Return the dignity and motion state of the planets, grouped by condition. Each field is a list of planet names: 'retrograde_planets' (planets in retrograde motion), 'combusted_planets' (too close to the Sun / combust), 'exalted_planets' (in their sign of exaltation), 'debilitated_planets' (in their sign of debilitation/fall), 'own_sign_planets' (in a sign they rule), 'friend_sign_planets' (in a friendly planet's sign) and 'enemy_sign_planets' (in an enemy planet's sign). A planet absent from all lists is in a neutral sign. Data only — no interpretation is included.

Return the sahams (Arabic parts / sensitive points) of the chart. The result maps each saham name to its computed zodiacal position, formatted as sign + degrees, minutes and seconds (e.g. 'Gemini 28° 47’ 58"'). Includes the full set such as Punya, Vidya, Yasas, Mitra, Vivaha, Putra, Karma, Roga, Mrithyu and the rest. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return Saturn's Sade Sati and related transit windows for the chart, with dates. 'sadeSati' holds the ~7.5-year Sade Sati periods two ways: 'degreeBased' (Saturn within ±45° of the natal Moon) and 'signBased' (Saturn in the 12th/1st/2nd signs from the Moon, each split into phase1/phase2/phase3 with sign, house and start/end dates); it also reports 'moonDegree' and 'moonSign'. 'moonTransits' and 'ascendantTransits' give Saturn's transit periods over the Moon and Ascendant, and 'ascendantDegree'/'ascendantSign' give the reference Ascendant. Each period has startDate, endDate and a description. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the Shadbala (six-fold strength) of the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn), labelled by component and planet. The six source components are 'sthana_bala' (positional), 'kala_bala' (temporal), 'dig_bala' (directional), 'cheshta_bala' (motional), 'naisargika_bala' (natural) and 'drik_bala' (aspectual). It also returns 'total_virupas' (summed strength in virupas/shashtiamsas), 'total_rupas' (virupas / 60) and 'strength_ratio' (total rupas divided by the required minimum — a ratio above 1 means the planet meets the strength threshold). Each component maps planet name to its value. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the special (derived) lagnas of the chart. Each lagna maps to its 'sign' and 'longitude'. Includes 'pranapada_lagna', 'indu_lagna', 'bhrigu_bindhu_lagna', 'sree_lagna', 'kunda_lagna', 'bhava_lagna', 'hora_lagna', 'ghati_lagna' and 'vighati_lagna'. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the sphutas (special computed sensitive points) of the chart. The result maps each sphuta name to its zodiacal position, formatted as sign + degrees, minutes and seconds (e.g. 'Scorpio 21° 18’ 7"'). Includes Tri Sphuta, Chatur Sphuta, Pancha Sphuta, Prana Sphuta, Deha Sphuta, Mrityu Sphuta, Sookshma Tri Sphuta, Beeja Sphuta (male fertility point), Kshetra Sphuta (female fertility point), Tithi Sphuta, Yoga Sphuta, Rahu Tithi Sphuta, Yogi Sphuta and Avayogi Sphuta. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the surya arudhas: the arudha sign for each of the 12 houses counted from the Sun (Surya Lagna). Keys are 'surya_arudha_house_1' through 'surya_arudha_house_12'; each value is the zodiac sign of that house's arudha. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Classical Surya Siddhanta (generalized Makaranda) D-1 positions for a birth instant: the nine bodies with sign, degree, nakshatra, daily motion, sighra-kendra and retrograde flag, plus the SS lagna, the SS ayanamsa with its delta to whichever ayanamsa was requested, and the SS panchanga (tithi, paksha, nakshatra with pada, yoga, karana, vara, sunrise and sunset). Calibrated against the Jagannatha Hora desktop Surya Siddhanta mode. Every other tool stays Drik, and this tool does not change them. Names in this section are always English regardless of the language field, and epoch.vaara is the civil-midnight weekday. Data only — no verdict.

Return the upagrahas (shadowy sub-planets / calculated upagrahas) of the chart. Each upagraha maps to its 'sign' and 'longitude'. Includes dhuma, vyatipaata, parivesha, indrachaapa, upaketu, kaala, mrityu, artha_praharaka, yama_ghantaka, gulika and maandi. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the Vaiseshikamsa Bala — the count of auspicious vargas (good divisional-chart dignities) each planet attains. The result is a list of four entries, one per classical weighting scheme (Shadvarga=6 charts, Sapthavarga=7, Dashavarga=10, Shodashavarga=16). Each entry maps the planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Raagu, Kethu) to a string of the form 'AmsaName\n(vargas)\ncount' — e.g. 'Vyanjanaamsa\n(D1/D3/D12)\n3' meaning the amsa dignity name, the divisional charts contributing, and the integer count of good vargas. Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return the Vimsopaka Bala — each planet's strength based on the dignity (varga / amsa) it occupies across the divisional charts. The result is a list of four entries, one per classical weighting scheme (Shadvarga=6 charts, Sapthavarga=7, Dashavarga=10, Shodashavarga=16). Each entry maps the planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Raagu, Kethu) to a string of the form 'AmsaName\n(vargas)\nscore' — e.g. 'Kimsukaamsa\n(D2/D30)\n9.2' meaning the amsa dignity name, the divisional charts contributing, and the numeric Vimsopaka score (out of 20). Data only — no interpretation is added.

Return every yoga (planetary combination) detected in the birth chart. The result has two parts. 'summary' gives counts: 'total_yogas_found', 'total_yogas_possible', 'total_raja_yogas_found', 'total_raja_yogas_possible'. 'yoga_list' maps each detected yoga's key (e.g. nipuna_yoga, kedaara_yoga, amala_yoga) to a 4-element list: [chart it was found in (e.g. 'D1'), the yoga's display name, the condition/definition that formed it, and the effect/result it gives]. All detected yogas are included. Data only — no interpretation is added.

List the 23 divisional (varga) charts available via 'get_divisional_chart'. Returns, for each chart, the 'request_as' value to pass as the 'varga' argument (e.g. 'D-9'), its 'name' (e.g. Navamsa) and 'purpose' (what life area it analyses — marriage, career, children, etc.). Use this to choose the right chart for a question, then call 'get_divisional_chart' with that varga. Takes no birth details. Data only — no interpretation is included.
