What is a Tarabalam Calculator?
A Tarabalam Calculator finds your Tara for the day by counting nakshatras from your birth nakshatra (Janma Nakshatra) to today’s Moon nakshatra, both inclusive, and then mapping that count to one of the nine Taras. Each Tara has a traditional meaning, from Janma and Sampat to Kshema, Mitra and Parama Mitra, and the result shows whether the day supports or cautions against important work.
Formula: Count nakshatras from birth nakshatra to today’s Moon nakshatra (both inclusive); divide by 9, remainder = Tara (0 = 9th). 1 Janma, 2 Sampat, 3 Vipat, 4 Kshema, 5 Pratyak, 6 Sadhana, 7 Naidhana, 8 Mitra, 9 Parama Mitra. Taras 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 are auspicious.
How to Use the Tarabalam Calculator (Step by Step)
- Select your birth nakshatra (from your kundli).
- Select today’s nakshatra (from any panchangam).
- Press Calculate.
- Read your Tara + auspicious or not.
Example Calculation
Birth Ashwini, today Rohini: count from Ashwini to Rohini inclusive is 4, so 4 divided by 9 leaves remainder 4. That gives Tara 4 – Kshema (Auspicious). This matches the calculator’s default result, so you can verify it instantly by pressing Calculate.
