Sums the digits of the national number (country code left out), reduces them to a single number, and returns harmonic scoring plus interpretive copy. WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_numerology_profile — anchor Life Path before judging the line. AFTER: None. INPUT CONTRACT: Only digits count; the country calling code is never counted. Numbers written with '+' or '00' use the national number. Without a prefix, pass country (ISO 3166 alpha-2, e.g. IN, US, CN) so the number is read as dialled in that country; with no country, only India's 12-digit 91… form is shortened and every other number is summed exactly as written (e.g. 14155552671 without country sums all 11 digits = 42; with country=US it is 41). With country, the number is read as dialled there first, international dialling prefix included (e.g. AU 0011, US 011). A '+'/'00' number drops its country code only when it is a valid number: an invalid '+' number sums every digit after '+', an invalid '00' number is summed as written.

WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_natal_chart — clarifies the natal reference for the same birth data. AFTER: asterwise_get_gochar — optional current snapshot after scanning the range. INPUT CONTRACT: from_date and to_date are strings in the format expected by the upstream API (typically YYYY-MM-DD). Range cap (24 months), date order, and validity are enforced upstream, not locally. birth.ayanamsa picks the zodiac: 'lahiri' (default), 'raman', 'kp' are sidereal; 'tropical' gives Western sign changes (Sun into Aries at the March equinox, Moon sign changes every ~2.5 days). Station moments do not depend on it, only their longitude.

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.

Computes all 10 Tajika Saham (sensitive points) for a Varshaphal solar return chart. Sahams are the Tajika equivalent of Arabic Parts — mathematically derived zodiac points that focus the annual horoscope on specific life themes. WORKFLOW: BEFORE: RECOMMENDED — asterwise_get_varshaphal — understand the base solar return chart (Varsha Pati, Muntha, Varsha Ascendant) before interpreting Saham lords. The Saham is meaningless without knowing which house it occupies from the Varsha Ascendant. AFTER: asterwise_get_varshaphal_harsha_bala — assess the Saham lord's positional happiness score to determine ease or difficulty of manifestation. INPUT CONTRACT: Same as asterwise_get_varshaphal — BirthData plus year. year (required int): The Gregorian calendar year of the solar return, sent upstream as target_year. Not age — the civil year (e.g. 2026). Feeding age instead of year silently produces the wrong return. time (required): Solar return Ascendant is time-sensitive. Accurate birth time is required for reliable Saham interpretation. DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_varshaphal — returns the full base solar return chart including Muntha, Varsha Pati, and planet positions; Saham points are not included there. asterwise_get_varshaphal_harsha_bala — scores planet positional happiness; this tool computes zodiac points, not planet positions. asterwise_get_gemstone_recommendations — birthchart gemstone recommendations, unrelated to Tajika Saham.

Western Solar Arc Directions for a target date: the solar arc (progressed Sun minus natal Sun) is added to every natal planet and angle. It is approximately 1° per year; unlike secondary progressions, all planets advance at the same rate. WORKFLOW: BEFORE: asterwise_get_western_natal. AFTER: None. INPUT CONTRACT: birth — WesternBirthData. target_date (optional YYYY-MM-DD) — defaults to today. DO NOT CONFUSE WITH: asterwise_get_western_secondary_progressions — each planet moves at its own rate. asterwise_get_western_transits_daily — real-time transits, not arc directions.

Lists void-of-course Moon periods in a date range (UTC), each with start, end, duration, the Moon's sign, the next sign and the last exact aspect. Rule: traditional — the Moon is void from its last exact Ptolemaic aspect (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition) to the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn until it enters the next sign (Lilly, Christian Astrology 1647, p. 112). Outer planets are not counted. WORKFLOW: BEFORE: None — standalone. AFTER: asterwise_get_western_planetary_hours — pick an hour inside a non-void window.
