YG-98: Papa Kartari

Papa kartari yoga: hard planets sit in both house 12 and house 2, with no helpful planet beside them. The Moon counts as hard when waning, and Mercury when it sits with a hard planet. Only planets sitting in those houses count. A planet that only looks at house 1 from elsewhere never forms it. The same check runs for the Moon and for every house and planet (KT-01). Effort meets pushback, and steady habits help.

The rule in John Doe's chart

Does not apply

John Doe's chart forms 15 of the 104 yogas the API checks. Papa Kartari is not one of them, so it did not fire for him. The call still tested it.
