How to use these results:
- Determine the Year Lord's strength classification: Strong (PV/4 > 10), Moderate (5–10), or Weak (< 5)
- Read the baseline results for that strength level
- Check which planets aspect or conjoin the Year Lord in the annual chart
- Apply the aspect modifications listed under each planet to refine the prediction
Professional advancement and promotion, robust health, improvement in finances, growing fame and recognition, prosperity for children, domestic harmony, and the ability to overcome opponents and rivals.
Disagreements with respected persons and relatives, minor health issues, changes of place or residence, and some apprehension from authority figures — unless the Sun forms Ithasala with a benefic planet, which can mitigate these difficulties.
Travel to distant places without productive gains, residence away from home, fear from political or governmental authority, unanticipated expenditures, damage to reputation, illness, and discord within the family.
Papakarthari Yoga (hemmed by malefics): Persistent anxiety from authority, inflammatory fever, losses in mineral-related business.

Mars's aspect: Overcoming rivals and adversaries; success in competitive situations.
Honors and recognition, growth in family membership, inner peace and mental clarity, acquisition of property and wealth, success in agriculture, access to gems and valuables, a rise in social standing befitting one's position, and alliances with political leaders and spiritual authorities.
Gain and subsequent loss of property, friction with friends and children, changes of residence (especially if in service), weakened health, and a general mixture of favorable and unfavorable results throughout the year.
Considerable hardship, persistent mental anxiety, displacement from current position, upheaval in domestic affairs, respiratory troubles, property theft, purposeless travel, and an overall difficult and distressing period.
The Moon as Year Lord is particularly sensitive to planetary aspects. Each planet modifying the Moon produces distinct effects:
Sun's aspect: Connections with political figures, possible fever, some governmental displeasure.
Mars's aspect: Bodily heat, phlegmatic fever, risk of injury or surgical intervention (especially if Mars lords the 6th house).
Mercury's aspect: Acquisition of a vehicle, general well-being; but if the aspect is adverse, involvement in problematic correspondence or documentation.

Venus's aspect: Marriage prospects, construction of a house, and overall improvement in life circumstances.

Conflicts with family members arising from misunderstandings, displeasure from superiors, pride and assertiveness that may cause friction, some leadership opportunities, blood-related ailments, minor injuries, and a modest increase in status.
Financial losses, numerous difficulties, having to reside in distant or foreign places, fevers, risk from fires, trouble from thieves and adversaries, public disgrace, other injuries and scandals, aimless travel, and disappointment in romantic relationships.
Jupiter's aspect: Significantly softens Mars's harsh tendencies. Results should be greatly modified in a positive direction.
Sun's association: Recognition for courageous acts, government-sourced income, success in legal disputes, travel eastward.
Moon's association: Acquisition of gems, but also fear from governmental authority and fire, loss of livestock, and hemorrhoidal complaints.
