Frequently asked questions

How is tarabalam calculated?

By counting from your birth star to today's star and reducing by nine to get the tara. Taras 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 are good; 3, 5, 7 (Vipat, Pratyari, Vadha) are to be avoided; 1 (Janma) is mixed.

Does it change daily?

Yes. The nakshatra changes roughly every day, so the tara, and the day's quality, shifts from day to day.

How is it different from rasi palan?

Rasi palan is based on the Moon's transit from your birth rashi; tarabalam is based on the nakshatra. Both indicate the day's quality.
