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.
