Personalize daily timing from your Birth Nakshatra and the current Moon nakshatra.

Open this featureLast verified: 2026-07-13 · App version: 0.1.1

Questions this guide answers

  • Is this a supportive day for me?
  • Why does birth nakshatra matter today?

Before you begin

  • Create or select a birth profile with date, time, and place of birth.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Confirm Birth Nakshatra

    Check that the active profile has a calculated Moon nakshatra. Correct birth data is required for a personal result.

    Expected result: The active profile shows a calculated Birth Nakshatra before the personal comparison begins.

  2. 2

    Choose the day

    Use previous, next, or a custom date to set the current Moon nakshatra you want to compare.

    Expected result: The intended date and its current Moon Nakshatra are visible.

  3. 3

    Read the Tara result

    Review the count, cycle position, classification, and recommendation together.

    Expected result: The Tara count, cycle position, classification, and recommendation are visible together.

  4. 4

    Combine with the day

    Open Panchang for general day quality. Use Tarabalam as personal support, not as the only timing rule.

    Expected result: General Panchang day quality and personal Tarabalam are both available before a timing decision is made.

What it compares

Tarabalam counts from Birth Nakshatra to the current Moon nakshatra to classify the day for you personally.

Use it with Panchang. Panchang describes the day generally; Tarabalam personalizes the day to your birth star.

Troubleshooting and recovery

Birth Nakshatra is missing

Complete or correct the active birth profile, then reopen Tarabalam after the chart calculation finishes.

The current Moon nakshatra differs from another source

Confirm the same date, local time, location, sidereal settings, and ayanamsa. A boundary crossing can change the result within the day.

Frequently asked questions

Why can the same day differ for two people?

Tarabalam compares the current Moon nakshatra with each person’s own Birth Nakshatra, so the result is personal.

Terms used in this guide
