Methodology and astrological context for Varshaphal Year Chart.
Generates a rendered chart image for a Varshaphal (Solar Return) horoscope — a Vedic annual chart cast at the exact moment the Sun returns to its natal degree in the target year. This endpoint combines the astrological computation of the solar return with chart rendering, returning a visual representation of the Varshaphal chart ready for display in applications, reports, or client-facing interfaces.
This endpoint accepts the individual's birth details, their current geographic location for the target year, and the desired Varshaphal year, then computes the solar return chart and renders it as a visual chart diagram. The chart is cast using the Vedic Varshaphal (Tajika) system, placing planets in their solar return positions within the house framework determined by the current location. The rendered output reflects the chart style, color scheme, and display preferences specified in the request, making it suitable for direct embedding in user interfaces or PDF reports without additional rendering work on the client side.
The response returns a rendered Varshaphal chart, which includes:
Chart image — a visual diagram of the Varshaphal solar return chart in the requested style (North Indian, South Indian, or East Indian format)
Planetary placements — all planets displayed in their respective houses and signs within the chart diagram
Ascendant and house cusps — the Varshaphal Lagna (ascendant) and house divisions rendered within the chart
Sign and planet labels — zodiac signs and planet symbols or abbreviations rendered according to the specified symbol and language preferences
Visual styling — chart rendered with the specified background color, line colors, font sizes, and other display parameters
Astrology apps and platforms — embedding a ready-to-display Varshaphal chart image directly into annual forecast screens or user dashboards
Jyotish practitioners — generating printable or shareable Varshaphal chart diagrams for client reports and consultations
PDF and report generation — incorporating a rendered annual chart into automated horoscope report pipelines without client-side chart rendering
Comparative chart displays — showing the Varshaphal chart alongside the natal chart for year-ahead analysis
Educational and demonstration tools — visually illustrating how the solar return chart shifts year to year based on current location
Accepts both birth location and current location separately — birth data anchors the natal chart calculation, while current latitude, longitude, and timezone determine where the Varshaphal chart is cast, reflecting the individual's place of residence in the target year
Accepts a target Varshaphal year (varshaphalYear) to render the solar return chart for any past, present, or future year
Supports multiple Ayanamsha systems (e.g., Lahiri, Raman, KP) via the X-Ayanamsha header for sidereal calculations aligned with the practitioner's tradition
Supports multiple chart styles — North Indian, South Indian, and East Indian chart formats to match regional practitioner and user preferences
Accepts visual customization parameters — background color, inner and outer line colors, sign and planet colors, font sizes, line widths, and symbol styles, enabling seamless integration with the host application's design language
Designed for localization — the Accept-Language header controls the language used for labels and text within the rendered chart
Complements the Varshaphal Planets and Varshaphal Planets Extended endpoints: use those for raw planetary data and this endpoint when a rendered visual chart output is required
