Nabhasa Yogas, all 32 (BPHS ch. 35)
get_nabhasa_yogas
Parashari, not KP. The 32 Nabhasa yogas of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 35, each constructed from its verse: 3 Asraya (Rajju, Musala, Nala: all seven planets in movable, fixed or dual SIGNS), 2 Dala (Mala, Sarpa: three kendras held by benefics or by malefics), 20 Akriti (the shapes: Gada, Sakata, Vihaga, Shringataka, Hala, Vajra, Yava, Kamala, Vapi, Yupa, Shara, Shakti, Danda, Nauka, Koota, Chatra, Chapa, Ardhachandra, Chakra, Samudra, by which whole-sign bhavas from the lagna the seven occupy) and 7 Sankhya (Gola through Veena, by how many signs the seven occupy). Every one of the 32 is returned, present or not, so an absence is stated rather than omitted. Two things the text settles that a summary would not: 'all the Grahas' is the SEVEN, the nodes excluded (v. 13), and v. 17's precedence is applied as a rule: a Sankhya yoga is reported only when no other Nabhasa yoga is present, and a suppressed one is named with what it yields to. A consequence pinned by test: all seven in one sign is never Gola, because an Asraya yoga is then trivially present. Effects (vv. 18-50) are not transcribed. Benefic and malefic follow ch. 34 vv. 8-10, the same definition the avasthas use. Edition stated (Santhanam 1984). Gates no KP verdict.

}Birth data
This tool requires birth data on every call. The MCP server is stateless, so calling set_birth_profile first validates the data and returns the reading plan, but it does not store anything. Repeat the same five fields here.
