The specialist's toolkit: six-fold strength, ashtakavarga, the whole Jaimini system, the complete Kundli Milan, and electional astrology.
The first three of the six strengths, rigorously.
Sthana sums 5 positional parts (max ~60 each in virupas). Dig: Jup/Mer strong in 1st, Sun/Mars 10th, Sat 7th, Moon/Ven 4th. Kala blends day/night, waxing (paksha, doubled for Moon), and time-lordships.
Hand-compute Sthana and Dig bala for your Venus; cross-check the engine's shadbala block.
The remaining strengths, the totals, and house-strength.
Naisargika: Sun60 Moon51.4 Ven42.9 Jup34.3 Mer25.7 Mars17.1 Sat8.6. Total virupas ÷60 = Rupas; ratio vs requirement (Mer7, Jup6.5, Sun6.5, Moon6, Ven5.5, Mars5, Sat5). Ishta=√(uchcha×cheshta); Kashta=√((60−uchcha)(60−cheshta)).
Produce full Shadbala for your chart; rank planets; compute % benefic for Venus & Jupiter.
The bindu (point) system for fine strength and transit timing.
Each planet contributes benefic points (bindus) to signs from itself and others per fixed tables; sum across the 7 + lagna for the SAV. A transit through a sign with many bindus tends to fruit well.
Build your Sarvashtakavarga in software; identify your highest- and lowest-bindu signs and what they imply for transits.
The variable, degree-based significators.
Rank planets by degree-within-sign descending (8-scheme: Rahu = 30−deg). Highest = Atmakaraka … lowest = Darakaraka. Karakamsa = the AK's navamsa sign projected into D1.
Compute your Atmakaraka (Venus) & Darakaraka and Poodja's DK; read the karakamsa.
The image-padas and Jaimini's distinct logic.
Arudha of a house = count house→its lord, project equal distance onward (exceptions: result in the house itself → 10th from it; 7th from itself → adjust). Rashi drishti: movable↔fixed (non-adjacent), dual↔dual.
Compute your Upapada (Capricorn) & Poodja's (Cancer = your Moon sign); map the rashi-drishti.
The Jaimini timing system and its yogas.
Chara dasha duration = count from the sign to its lord (with movable/fixed/dual direction rules), 1–12 years per sign. Use it alongside Vimshottari for confirmation.
Compute your Chara dasha sequence; see whether it corroborates your Vimshottari marriage window.
The complete, multi-system marriage analysis — the heart of the specialism.
Mangal: Mars in 1/2/4/7/8/12 from Lagna, Moon AND Venus; both-Manglik cancels. Rajju by nakshatra body-group (same=danger); Mahendra count→{4,7,10,13,16,19,22,25}; Stree-Deergha count>9. Tithi=floor((Moon−Sun)/12)+1; groups of 5. Triangulate all systems; trust convergence.
Produce a full specialist Kundli Milan for a real pair, computing every layer by hand and reconciling with the engine — i.e. reproduce the study you commissioned.
Choosing the auspicious moment, especially for marriage.
Select a strong waxing tithi (avoid Rikta 4/9/14), a favourable nakshatra & weekday, the Moon well-placed, benefics on kendras, and supportive Jupiter transit over the 7th/Moon of the couple.
Draft a wedding-muhurta shortlist inside a chosen year-window for a real pair.
Answering a question from the chart of the moment it is asked.
Cast for the time/place of a genuine question; read the lagna, its lord, the Moon and the relevant karaka to judge the matter. A self-contained predictive technique.
Answer one sincere prashna end-to-end and record the outcome for later review.
The body in the chart — handled with care and humility.
Map planets to doshas (e.g. Sun/Mars→Pitta, Moon/Venus→Kapha, Saturn/Mercury→Vata) and to body systems; read constitutional tendency and timing of vulnerability — as tendency, never medical fact.
Sketch the constitutional tendencies in your own chart (Pitta-leaning), framed strictly as tendencies.
A complete specialist Kundli Milan plus a defensible wedding muhurta for a consenting pair: full Shadbala and ashtakavarga on both charts, every koota and the extra kutas, Mangal, the D9/D7 cross-read, the Jaimini spouse-signature, tithi & varna, a birth-time sensitivity check, and a triangulated, honest verdict — delivered as a written dossier.
Doctorate — rectification, cross-system research, the philosophy and ethics of the craft, original contribution and transmission.
