Varshaphal ("fruit of the year") is the Tajika system's annual chart: a chart cast for the moment the Sun returns to its natal sidereal position each year, read with its own rules. Open a profile and choose Vedic → Varshaphal.
Varshaphal — the annual chart, Muntha and the year lord at the top.
Choosing the year
The dialog opens on the Tajika year you're living in now — if this year's solar return hasn't happened yet, that's last year's chart. The header controls move through your life:
- ‹ and › — previous and next year. The label shows the year and your age, e.g. 2026 · age 34. You can't go back before the birth year.
- This year — back to the running year.
The annual chart is cast for the profile's current location (where the person lives now, or the birthplace if no current location is set) — the usual Tajika practice. The footer confirms it: Tajika (Neelakanthi) · sidereal solar return, Lahiri ayanamsa · cast for Islamabad.
The annual chart and the year's facts
The chart is drawn in your Vedic chart style (North Indian if you use the Wheel). Beside it:
- Varsha pravesh (year begins) — the exact date and time of the solar return.
- Annual Lagna — the rising sign of the year and its lord.
- Muntha — the natal Lagna moved one sign for each completed year. It shows its sign and house in the annual chart, with a note: green Supportive placement, or red Challenging placement (4/6/7/8/12).
- Year lord (Varsheshwara) — the planet that governs the year, with its Pancha-vargeeya bala and a Strong / Medium / Weak label.
- Day return or Night return — whether the Sun was above the horizon, which changes some of the rules below.
Office-bearers and the year lord
Tajika chooses the year lord from five Panchadhikari (office-bearers):
| Office | Which planet |
|---|---|
| Birth Lagna lord | Lord of the natal rising sign |
| Annual Lagna lord | Lord of the year's rising sign |
| Muntha lord | Lord of the Muntha's sign |
| Tri-rashi pati | From the classical table for the annual Lagna, by day or by night |
| Din-ratri pati | Lord of the Sun's sign by day, of the Moon's sign by night |
The year lord is the strongest of these that aspects the annual Lagna — if none does, the strongest of all five. The table shows each office's planet, its bala out of 20 (green 10+, amber 5–10, red below 5) and a ✓ when it aspects the Lagna; the winning row is highlighted.
Pancha-vargeeya bala
Tajika's own strength measure, out of 20, built from five dignities: Kshetra (sign, 30), Uchcha (exaltation, 20), Hadda (terms, 15), Drekkana (10) and Navamsa (5), divided by four. A planet gets the full share in its own division and ¾, ½ or ¼ in a friend's, neutral's or enemy's. The table lists all seven grahas with a Strong / Medium / Weak pill.
Tajika yogas
Tajika yogas describe how planets cooperate during the year. Favourable ones are shown in green, adverse ones in red, each with the planets involved and the houses they rule:
| Yoga | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ikkavala | All planets in angles and succedent houses — a steady, prosperous year. |
| Induvara | All planets in cadent houses — effort brings less than hoped. |
| Ithasala | The faster planet is applying to the slower one — the matters they rule come together. |
| Eesarapha | The faster planet has just separated — the matter is past its peak or slips away. |
| Nakta | A faster planet carries the light between the Lagna lord and another — success through an intermediary. |
| Yamaya | A slower planet joins the Lagna lord and another — success through a senior or third party. |
| Manahoo | Mars or Saturn sits with one of an applying pair — the promise is spoiled or delayed. |
| Kamboola | The Moon applies to one of an applying pair — the result is strengthened. |
| Radda | A planet of an applying pair is retrograde, combust or debilitated — the result is obstructed. |
| Duphali-kutta | The slower planet is strong while the faster is weak — the result still comes, through the stronger side. |
Tajika yogas and the aspects within orb.
Tajika aspects
The aspects table lists every pair within orb, faster planet first: the aspect (conjunction and opposition, friendly sextile and trine, inimical square), the gap against the allowed orb (3.2° / 10.5°), and whether it is Ithasala (applying) or Eesarapha (separating). Aspects are counted by sign, and orbs use each planet's deeptamsa: Sun 15°, Moon 12°, Jupiter and Saturn 9°, Mars 8°, Mercury and Venus 7°.
Sahams
Sahams are sensitive points of the year, like Arabic Parts. AstroWatch computes twenty, each with its sign, degree and house: Punya (fortune and merit), Vidya (learning), Yasas (fame), Mitra (friends), Mahatmya (greatness), Asha (hopes), Samartha (capability), Bhratri (siblings), Pitri (father), Matri (mother), Putra (children), Jeeva (vitality), Karma (work), Roga (illness), Kali (quarrels), Vivaha (marriage), Vyapara (trade), Paradesa (foreign travel), Artha (wealth) and Mrityu (danger and endings).
Mudda dasha
Mudda dasha compresses the 120-year Vimshottari sequence into the one year, starting at varsha pravesh, so each planet rules a few weeks. The running period is expanded and marked • now; expand any period to see its sub-periods.

Good to know
- Only the seven grahas take part in offices, bala, aspects and yogas.
- The Varshaphal is for reading on screen; it isn't part of the Kundli PDF.
