Both Sun charts are read and each of the eight tests gets its own score out of 36 — with the rule that produced it printed beside it.
Manglik, Nadi and Bhakoot are checked for both of you — and every classical exception is computed on your own charts, never assumed.
Where a score came out low, you get the fix: what to do, what to avoid, and the dates when your chart support a wedding.
Your own scores are free, above. The rule behind each one, the exceptions, and the dated windows are in the full report.
Most of the panchang is impersonal. Rahu Kaal is the same for everyone in your city. So is the choghadiya, so is the hora, so is the tithi. None of them contain a single detail about you.
Tarabala is different. It is counted from your birth nakshatra to the nakshatra the Moon occupies today - so two people sitting in the same room have different tarabala on the same day. If you are only going to check one daily measure, this is the one worth checking.
Count forward from your janma nakshatra - the one the Moon occupied at your birth - to today's nakshatra, including both ends. Then divide by nine. The remainder gives your tara.
An example. Say your birth star is Rohini, the fourth nakshatra, and the Moon today is in Magha, the tenth. Counting from Rohini to Magha inclusive: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - that is seven steps. Seven divided by nine leaves seven, so you are in the seventh tara, which is Vadha.
That is the whole calculation. Ten seconds with your fingers, once you know your birth star. We print the count on the results page for exactly that reason - a figure you can reproduce is one nobody can adjust on you.
Five favourable, three unfavourable, and Janma read as mixed. Note that this is a better ratio than most people assume - more than half of all days are favourable for any given person, which is worth holding onto if a Vipat has ever been described to you as though it were a catastrophe.
Twenty-seven nakshatras divided by nine taras gives three. Which means every tara occurs three times in a full cycle of the Moon around the zodiac.
And here is what matters: the classical writers do not read all three alike. The first cycle is read as strongest, the second as moderate, the third as mildest.
So a Vipat in the third cycle - your 21st nakshatra from birth - is a far softer finding than a Vipat in the first, which is the 3rd from your birth star. Same name, genuinely different weight.
A page that hands you a bare tara name has collapsed three different answers into one. That is the single most common thing wrong with tarabala readings online, and it is why we print the cycle alongside the tara.
The Moon crosses one nakshatra in roughly a day, so your tarabala changes daily and the full pattern repeats every twenty-seven days. Your Janma tara - the day the Moon returns to your own birth star - comes round about once a month.
Because it moves, tarabala is used for the kind of decision where a day matters: setting out on a journey, beginning a course of study, approaching someone with a request, starting something that needs to hold. It is one of the standard checks in muhurat selection, alongside the tithi and the weekday.
There is a companion measure worth knowing about. Chandrabala counts signs rather than nakshatras: from your Moon sign to the sign the Moon occupies today. The 4th, 8th and 12th from your Moon sign are read as weak, the others as supportive.
The classical writers check both, and do not treat one as a substitute for the other. A day can be strong on tarabala and weak on chandrabala, or the reverse - and a reading that used only one has answered half the question. Where both agree, the finding is firmer.
The nakshatra scheme is older in Indian use than the twelve signs, and tarabala is one of the oldest things built on it. The word breaks down simply: tara is star, bala is strength - the strength of the star, meaning the standing of today's star relative to your own.
It appears in the muhurat literature as a routine check rather than as a special technique, which tells you something about how it was used. It was not a reading anyone sold; it was a quick calculation a practitioner ran before answering a question about a day, in the same way a tithi was checked. That is still the most sensible way to use it.
The reason it survived while more elaborate methods faded is probably that it needs so little. No chart, no birth time in most cases, no software - your birth star, today's star, and the ability to count on your fingers. A method that portable outlasts a method that requires an expert.
The honest answer is: usually, nothing.
Three of the nine taras are read as unfavourable, so roughly a third of days fall there for any person. Over a year that is around a hundred and twenty days. Nobody in any classical tradition suggests postponing a third of a life, and nothing in the sources asks you to.
What the convention actually suggests is narrower - that if a day is genuinely open and you have a choice between today and tomorrow, the more supportive tara is the sensible pick. That is a preference, not a prohibition.
And remember the cycle. A third-cycle Vipat is the mildest form of the mildest reading, and treating it with the weight of a first-cycle Vadha is reading in something the method does not contain. We print the cycle so you can see which you have, rather than reacting to a name.
Tarabala reads one thing: the relationship between two nakshatras - yours and today's. It is a real classical measure with a long pedigree, used routinely in muhurat work.
It says nothing about your chart, your dashas, your houses or what will happen. It is a day-quality convention, not a prediction, and the sources do not present it as one. Treating a Vipat day as a reason to cancel something that matters is reading in far more than the method puts there.
And a practical note: you do not usually need your birth time. The Moon takes about a day per nakshatra, so your date settles your birth star in most cases. If you were born near a boundary, the page says so rather than picking one quietly.
Your nakshatra, today's, the number of steps between them and the division by nine - printed so the answer can be reproduced on your fingers rather than trusted.
Janma through Ati-Mitra, each named with what the classical texts read it for, so yours can be placed against the other eight instead of read on its own.
Why every tara occurs three times, how the strength differs between them, and which cycle yours falls in today. The part almost every page leaves out entirely.
The day the Moon returns to your birth nakshatra, why the tradition reads it as mixed rather than simply good or bad, and how often it comes round.
The nakshatra count and the sign count, what each measures, and why the classical writers check both - with your chandrabala computed alongside.
Its place in muhurat selection alongside the tithi and the weekday, and the kinds of decision it is traditionally applied to.
What a day-quality convention is, what it does not claim, and why a Vipat day is not a reason to cancel something that matters.

This tara bala calculator by date of birth answers the six questions people search most — tarabala for today, tara bala chakra calculator, chandra bala calculator, tarabala for marriage matching, tara bala kya hota hai — each with the rule behind it. The tara bala calculator by date of birth above computes your own result free; the sections below explain what it means, and a tara bala calculator by date of birth that shows its working is one you can check against any astrologer.
A tara bala calculator by date of birth counts from your birth nakshatra to the nakshatra the Moon is in today, and reduces the count to a cycle of nine: Janma, Sampat, Vipat, Kshema, Pratyak, Sadhaka, Vadha, Mitra, Ati-Mitra. Sampat, Kshema, Sadhaka, Mitra and Ati-Mitra are favourable; Janma, Vipat, Pratyak and Vadha are not. This tara bala calculator by date of birth prints today's tara, the count that produced it, and the tara for every day of the coming month, because the whole point is to choose a day.
Tarabala for today is the quickest personal muhurat check there is: on a Sampat or Mitra day, start the thing; on a Vipat or Vadha day, continue what is running but do not begin. It sits beside chandra bala (the Moon's sign from your rashi) as the two personal layers of any muhurat. Tarabala for today on this page is printed with the Moon's nakshatra, the exact time the tara changes, and the next three favourable days, so a start can be moved by a day instead of missed.
A tara bala chakra calculator lays out the nine taras with their meanings: Janma (your own star — risk to body), Sampat (wealth — good), Vipat (danger — avoid), Kshema (well-being — good), Pratyak (obstacle — avoid), Sadhaka (achievement — good), Vadha (harm — avoid), Mitra (friend — good), Ati-Mitra (great friend — best). The cycle repeats three times across the 27 stars. This tara bala chakra calculator draws your chakra with today marked, and the texts' note that the second and third cycles are milder than the first.
A chandra bala calculator counts the Moon's current sign from your rashi: the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th are favourable, the 4th, 8th and 12th unfavourable, the 2nd, 5th and 9th neutral by most texts. A day with good tara bala and bad chandra bala is a mixed day; the muhurat texts want both. This chandra bala calculator prints the Moon's sign and house from your rashi for today and the month, and combines it with the tara so the calendar shows the days that pass both.
Tarabala for marriage matching is the dina porutham of the ten southern poruthams: the groom's star counted from the bride's and the bride's from the groom's, each reduced to nine, and the match passes when both fall on favourable taras. It is the same arithmetic as the daily tara, applied between two people. Tarabala for marriage matching on this page accepts a partner's star and prints the count both ways, with the note that a failed dina is weighed against the other nine poruthams, not read alone.
Tara bala kya hota hai in one line: the strength of the day's star for you, found by counting from your birth star. Tara bala kya hota hai in practice: the panchang says which nakshatra the Moon is in; the tara says whether that star is your friend today. Enter your birth details above and the count is done for today and the month, with the favourable days marked and the exact change times — the arithmetic any family astrologer does on paper, done for thirty days at once.
If you came to this tara bala calculator by date of birth to check a result from another app, compare the degree, not just the sign — two tools using different ayanamsas will disagree by about a sign near boundaries. This tara bala calculator by date of birth prints Lahiri, the value used, and every intermediate step, so the tara bala calculator by date of birth result can be verified line by line.
