Varshaphal Harsha Bala

asterwise_get_varshaphal_harsha_bala

Read-onlyIdempotent

Computes Harsha Bala (positional happiness score) for all 7 classical planets in a Varshaphal solar return chart. Maximum 20 per planet (4 components × 5 points each).

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_varshaphal — identify the Year Lord (Varsha Pati) before interpreting Harsha Bala. The Year Lord's Harsha Bala is the most actionable number in this response. AFTER: asterwise_get_varshaphal_saham — use Harsha Bala to assess whether each Saham lord can deliver its theme with ease or difficulty.

INPUT CONTRACT: Same as asterwise_get_varshaphal — BirthData plus year. year (required int): The Gregorian civil year of the solar return, sent upstream as target_year. Not age. time (required): Solar return ascendant and house positions are time-sensitive.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_varshaphal — returns Pancha Vargeeya Bala (mathematical strength out of 80) for the Pancha Adhikaris; Harsha Bala (positional happiness out of 20) is a completely different measurement returned by this tool. asterwise_get_varshaphal_saham — derives sensitive zodiac points; this tool scores planet positional comfort. asterwise_get_chart_strength — Shadbala for the natal chart, not Tajika Harsha Bala for the solar return.
