Varshaphal — Tajika Saham Points

Computes all 10 Tajika Saham (sensitive points) for a Varshaphal chart. Sahams are the Tajika equivalent of Arabic Parts — mathematically derived points that focus on specific life themes for the year. Formula: A - B + Ascendant (conditional +30° per Tajika Saham rules). Day and night formulas differ — the operands swap based on whether the solar return occurs during daytime or nighttime. 10 Sahams returned: Punya (Fortune), Vidya (Education), Yashas (Fame), Mitra (Friends), Mahatmya (Status), Asha (Desires), Karmakarya (Career), Vyapara (Business), Vivaha (Marriage), Santapa (Sorrow/Stress). Yashas and Mahatmya use Punya Saham as an operand — computed first.
