Aspects & Strength

get_aspects_and_strength

Planetary aspects + 5-factor house strength scores (0-100) + deep retrograde analysis. Returns '{ chart_info, aspects: { aspected_cusps: [{ house, aspecting_planet, aspect_type, orb, applying }], aspected_planets: [{ aspected_planet, aspecting_planet, aspect_type, orb, applying, mutual }], mutual_aspects, planet_aspect_summary }, house_strength: { scores: [{ house, total_score, factor_scores: { occupants, csl_strength, house_lord_placement, aspects, self_reference }, verdict }], summary }, retrograde_analysis: { retrograde_planets, station_planets, analyses }, houseConvention }'. 'aspect_type' is a graha drishti ordinal ('3rd', '4th', '5th', '7th', '8th', '9th', '10th', '12th'), never a Western aspect name. **Not KP.** The aspects are Parashari graha drishti (every planet the 7th; Mars 4/8, Jupiter 5/9, Saturn 3/10; Rahu and Ketu the 7th only by default, a derived reading), applied here as exact degrees with an orb against Placidus cusps rather than sign to sign (for the ch. 26 rule itself, sign to sign with the sputa virupas of each pair, use 'get_graha_drishti'), and 'houseConvention' names that convention and every planet whose house differs under whole sign. The strength score is built from natural benefic/malefic class, dignity and combustion, which KP judges by none of: it decides on the stellar signification chain and the cuspal sub lord. Reference and cross-system comparison only, never an input to a KP verdict. For full Shadbala (6-fold strength of planets) use 'get_shadbala'. For a Bhava bala index of houses (three components, a Lumin index and not the BPHS computation) use 'get_bhava_bala'. Whether the nodes cast graha drishti is stated five ways (F175): 'nodeDrishti' names the reading used and lists all five with their classes; pass 'node_drishti_reading' to recompute the node rows under another. Two of the three claims are also tools of their own, named in 'methodSeams': 'get_house_strength_index' (the 0-100 index, a Lumin index) and 'get_retrograde_verdicts' (the retrograde verdicts, Parashari). Call those when a reading needs one claim; this tool returns all three in one call.
