What your report looks like
These are real sections from reports we have delivered — names and birth data redacted. Your report is written fresh from your own chart.

The reading
Varshaphala is the tajik system for reading a single year — the chart cast for the moment the Sun returns to its exact natal longitude (your solar return). It is the right tool when you want resolution at the level of this year and which months, rather than the decade-scale view of Vimshottari. This report builds your solar-return chart, places the muntha, identifies the year-lord and lord-of-year, reads all five tajik yogas, runs the patyayini dasha through the twelve months, computes the sahams for the life areas you care about, and lays out the monthly profections.
The annual chart works alongside, not against, your natal dasha. We read it in that context: a year that the solar return marks as active is read differently depending on whether your Vimshottari period supports or resists it. The result is a month-by-month sense of where the year leans — favourable stretches, cautious stretches, and the specific themes (work, money, relationship, health, travel) that each highlights.
A quiet year is reported as quiet, an unusually charged one is flagged with specifics rather than drama, and where the annual chart and the natal dasha disagree, we explain the disagreement instead of papering over it.
What you'll actually uncover
Read against the classics
- The year's tone is read from the muntha and the varshesh (year-lord) selected by the classical five-fold tajik scheme, each weighed for its actual strength rather than asserted. [Tajika Neelakanthi]
- The five tajik aspect-yogas — Ithasala, Ishrafa, Nakta, Yamaya and Kambula — are read across the chart to show whether a matter is forming (applying), concluding (separating), or being brokered through a third graha, naming which it is rather than forcing a verdict. [Tajika Neelakanthi]
- The year is sequenced by the patyayini dasha (distributing it among the grahas by strength) and the relevant sahams are read by the house each falls in — and where the annual chart and your natal dasha disagree, the disagreement is explained, not papered over. [Tajika Neelakanthi]
What's included
Solar-return chart for the year
Your varsha-kundali cast for the exact solar-return moment, localised to your residence: the year's ascendant (varsha-lagna), the placement and dignity of all grahas at the return, and how this annual chart sits over your natal chart. This is the canvas for everything that follows.
Muntha, year-lord and lord-of-year
The three anchors of tajik annual analysis: the muntha (the progressed point advancing one sign per year) and the house and sign it occupies; the varshesh / year-lord (the ruler of the year, selected by the classical five-fold tajik scheme) and its strength; and what their combined condition sets as the year's dominant tone.
All five tajik yogas
The tajik aspect-yogas read across the chart: Ithasala (applying — promises fulfilled), Ishrafa (separating — matters concluding or slipping), Nakta and Yamaya (mediated connections via a third graha), and Kambula / Manau and the related combinations where present. Each tells you whether a significant matter is forming, completing, or being brokered — and through which grahas.
Patyayini dasha through the year
The tajik dasha that distributes the year among the grahas in proportion to their strength, marking which planetary period governs which stretch of the twelve months — so you know not just the year's theme but its internal sequence and the segments to watch.
Sahams for key life areas
The relevant tajik sahams (sensitive points) computed for the areas you flag — Punya (merit), Vidya (learning), Karma/Yasas (work and fame), Vivaha (marriage), Putra (children), Labha (gains), Roga (health), Vyapara (business). Each is read by the house it falls in and the grahas conditioning it, sharpening the year's forecast for that domain.
Monthly profections
A month-by-month walk through the year: which house and sign each lunar/monthly period activates, the prevailing theme, and the favourable and cautious stretches — giving you a calendar-shaped view you can plan against. For exact timing within a favourable month, add a Muhurta Lookup.
Two follow-up questions
After you receive the report, you may ask two follow-up questions by message or email, and we will answer them to clarify anything in your reading.
At a glance
Best suited for
- Anyone wanting a focused read of the coming year (or a specific past/future year)
- People planning around a year — a move, a launch, a marriage, a major purchase
- Readers who already have a natal reading and want annual resolution on top of it
- Those who find decade-scale dasha too broad for present decisions
- Anyone curious about the tajik method specifically
How it works
- You place the order, specify the year, and complete the intake; we confirm the birth data and residence.
- We cast the solar-return chart, set the muntha, determine the year-lord and lord-of-year.
- We read the five tajik yogas, run the patyayini dasha, compute the requested sahams and lay out monthly profections — reviewed by hand against the tajik texts and read against your natal dasha.
- PDF delivered to your email within 24 hours.
What we'll ask you
- Which year is this reading for?
- Which life areas matter most for the year? (optional)
- A particular month or event you're planning around this year? (optional)
- My residence or timezone has changed since birth
Frequently asked
- Which year should I order — current or upcoming?
- For planning, the year that begins on your next birthday, so the whole forecast is still ahead of you. We'll happily read the current or a past year too if you're reviewing.
- How does this relate to my Vimshottari dasha?
- They're complementary. Vimshottari sets the multi-year backdrop; Varshaphala resolves a single year into months. We read the annual chart in the context of your active dasha and reconcile the two.
- Why does my residence matter for a birth chart?
- The solar return is cast for where you are during the year, not your birthplace, so the annual ascendant and house emphasis localise to your current city. That's why we ask.
- What's not included?
- Varshaphala covers one year; it does not replace the natal/Vimshottari reading in Kundali Analysis or the Deep Kundali Dive-In.
- We read the year you specify; for an exact event date within a month, add Muhurta Lookup.
- We do not sell remedial items.
- The solar-return chart is localised to the residence you give; conclusions depend on birth-time accuracy.
