Tarabalam and Chandrabalam for your Moon sign

Chandrabalam: the day's Moon sign counted from your Moon sign (janma rashi) is favourable in the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th place. Tarabalam: the day's nakshatra counted from your birth nakshatra, in groups of nine (Taras), is favourable for Taras 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9, unfavourable for 3, 5 and 7, and mixed for 1 (Janma). Choose your Moon sign, and your birth nakshatra if you know it.

Chandrabalam at sunrise for Moon signs

Vrishabha (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Makara (Capricorn), Meena (Pisces)

Tarabalam at sunrise for birth nakshatras

Ashwini, Bharani, Rohini, Ardra, Pushya, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Mula, Purva Ashadha, Shravana, Shatabhisha, Uttara Bhadrapada

Unfavourable Tara for: Krittika, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Chitra, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Dhanishta, Purva Bhadrapada

At sunrise the Moon is in Meena (Pisces), in Revati. The Moon changes sign or nakshatra during the day, so these lists can change after sunrise; choose your Moon sign for the times.

A traditional indication from the classical counting rules, not a prediction. Nothing you choose here is stored.
