Asterwise

Varshaphal

asterwise_get_varshaphal

Read-onlyIdempotent

Computes the annual Tajika-style solar return for a four-digit civil year and returns Muntha, Pancha Adhikari metrics, Tajika aspects, and varshaphal positions.

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_natal_chart — baseline radix before annual overlay. AFTER: None.

INPUT CONTRACT: year is a plain int sent as target_year upstream; callers must supply the true Gregorian return year, not age.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_dasha — multi-decade Vimshottari, not one solar return. asterwise_get_transits — ingress/station timeline, not annual Tajika chart.
