Classical Yoga Audit

What it does

The Classical Yoga Audit checks your chart against ~40 named classical yogas drawn from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Phaladeepika, Saravali, and Brihat Jataka. Each one is evaluated rigorously (not just heuristically), and the result includes:

Whether the yoga is present or absent in your chart
The classical source where the rule originates
The specific planets and houses that fulfil the rule (so you can verify it yourself)
A count summary at the top: "X of Y yogas detected"

This complements the existing Yoga Finder (which scans for hundreds of less-named combinations). The Audit is for the named yogas — the ones every classical text discusses.

How to use the result

The simplest workflow:

Open the audit; note the count: "12 of 40 yogas detected" gives a rough strength signal. Most charts have 5-15 named yogas.
Read the detail line under each present yoga — it tells you the planets/houses involved. This is what you would cite in a reading.
Cross-check the classical reference by opening the cited text if you want to verify the rule.

Pancha Mahapurusha and Akhanda Samrajya are the strongest. Daridra and Kemadruma are warning yogas — see if the chart has cancellation indicators (benefic aspects, exalted lord) before reading them literally.

Limitations

Ruling-school variance. Rules vary slightly between BPHS, Phaladeepika, and Saravali for some yogas (e.g. exact conditions for Lakshmi Yoga). KarmaWheel uses the most commonly-cited form.
Heuristic for some. A few rules in the compendium have several versions; we picked one well-attested form. Where we simplified, the article's detail line says so.
No timing. The audit identifies whether a yoga exists — not when its results manifest. Results activate during the dasha or antardasha of the participating planets; cross-reference with the Vimshottari dasha and Specialty Timing.
