Method articles and technique deep-dives.

Method articles document how Tempora reads, not what is predicted. They cover divisional charts (Navamsa, the D-9), point-scoring systems (Ashtakavarga, Shadbala), the annual chart layer (Varshaphala), cross-system comparison (Jaimini and Vimshottari), and the founding-chart election method for new ventures. Read this cluster when you want to understand the moving parts behind every other finding on the site, or when you want to learn a specific technique well enough to apply it on your own.
