Regarding iṣṭa-devatā – perhaps you can look at these posts( shown below) and they will assist you in your opinion.
The approach (for calculating) is clearly called out in the jyotiśhāstra-s ; I can think of 2 luminaries that have these calculations in their work¹.

- luminaries that offer calculations for one's iṣṭa-devatā :
- mahāṛṣi (mahārishi) parāśara , the author of the brihat-parāśara-horā-śāstra
- mahāṛṣi (mahārishi) jaimini offering his jaimini sūtra-s. Jaimini was a student (śiṣya) of veda vyāsa , the one who compiled the veda-s; also known as kṛṣṇa dvaipāyana.
