/v1/prashna/answer

Prashna yes/no answer synthesis.

What this tells you

Synthesizes a yes/no answer from the Prashna chart by weighing classical significators: lagna lord condition, Moon's state, aspects on lagna, benefic/malefic placements. Costs 2 credits because it runs multiple internal calculations.

Usage tips

How to use it

Always show factors
A bare "yes" is unsatisfying. Render the factor list so users understand why.
Low confidence = "try again later"
When confidence is low, suggest the user ask the question again after an hour (the chart will shift).
