Navatara Chakra Calculator: Your Nine Taras and Good Days
A man plans to sign a lease on Thursday. The calendar says the day is fine, yet his grandmother asks a different question: which star is the Moon in, counted from his own? How can the same day suit one person and not another?
Enter your birth star to see your Navatara chakra (navatārā cakra), the nine taras that every star of the sky holds for you, with each star’s nature, what it suits, and a free calendar of your good and careful times for this lunar fortnight (pakṣa). It is part of Navanka, AstroShala’s family of free calculators. Book a consultation to plan an important date with Ekant Sharma.
⚡ KEY TAKEAWAYS: Navatara Chakra Calculator
- A Navatara chakra counts the 27 stars from your birth star in three rounds of nine taras, showing how each day’s star sits with you.
- Vipat, Pratyak and Vadha need the most care in the first round; in later rounds only part of the star, or a light caution.
- The free calendar weighs Tara bala and Chandra bala for this paksha and the next, in your own time zone.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Navatara chakra | The 27 stars arranged as nine taras from your birth star |
| Tara | The position of a star counted from your birth star |
| Janma tara | Your birth star, the 1st tara |
| Vipat, Pratyak, Vadha | The 3rd, 5th and 7th taras, which need care |
| Paksha | A lunar fortnight, new Moon to full Moon or back |
| Tārā bala | The strength of the day’s star for you |
| Candra bala | The strength of the day’s Moon sign from your birth Moon sign |
| Muhūrta | A chosen time for an important beginning |
How the Navatara Chakra Works
Counting from your birth star, the 27 stars fall into three rounds of nine. Each position carries a name and a quality:
| Tara | Meaning | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Janma | Birth | Mixed |
| 2. Sampat | Wealth and gain | Favourable |
| 3. Vipat | Obstacles | Needs care |
| 4. Kshema | Well-being | Favourable |
| 5. Pratyak | Opposition | Needs care |
| 6. Sadhaka | Achievement | Favourable |
| 7. Vadha | Hindrance | Needs care |
| 8. Mitra | Friendship | Favourable |
| 9. Parama Mitra | Great friendship | Favourable |
The three difficult taras weigh most in the first round, nearest your birth star. In the second round only part of each of those stars needs care, and in the third round they are mostly supportive, with a light caution. The chakra wheel shows all 27 stars in their three rings.
Why the Same Day Differs for Each Person
This answers the grandmother’s question. The Moon passes through one star roughly every day, and its tara depends on where you start counting. A star that is Sampat for one person can be Vipat for another born three stars later. A calendar gives the day; the tara tells you how that day sits with you.
Star Natures and What Suits When
Each star also has a nature, such as fixed, movable, swift or gentle, and a facing: upward, downward or level. Traditional timing uses these together with the tara. The “What suits when” tab lists, for everyday matters such as money, property, documents, travel, a new vehicle, a job interview or starting a course of medicine, the stars that suit you best and those that are usable.
Medicine is never started on the birth star by tradition, and the right day always follows your doctor’s advice. For money matters the calendar is a guide to timing, not financial advice.
Your Calendar for This Paksha
The free calendar follows the Moon through the current fortnight, from new Moon to full Moon or back, and marks each stretch as good, fair or take care. It weighs two things: your tara (tārā bala) and the Moon’s position from your birth Moon sign (candra bala). Nearer the new Moon the tara counts for more; nearer the full Moon the Moon’s strength does.
Times are shown in your own time zone. You can see the next paksha too, and download the good times as a calendar file that opens in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.
What the Free Result Leaves Out
The free calendar covers this paksha and the next. Six-month and yearly calendars, the traditional remedies for a difficult tara, and the choice of a precise time (muhūrta) for a wedding, a house or a business are part of a consultation.
Choosing a date that matters?
For a wedding, a griha pravesh, a launch or a signing, Ekant Sharma reads your chart and the day together and gives you a time, not only a day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Navatara chakra?
It is the arrangement of the 27 stars into nine taras, counted from your birth star, used to judge how a day or a star sits with you.
Which taras are unfavourable?
Vipat (3rd), Pratyak (5th) and Vadha (7th), most of all in the first round of nine. The calculator marks how much care each one needs.
Do I need my birth time?
You need your birth star and its quarter. If you know the Moon’s position from your chart, you can enter it in degrees and minutes.
What are Tara bala and Chandra bala?
Tara bala is the strength of the day’s star counted from yours; Chandra bala is the strength of the day’s Moon sign counted from your birth Moon sign. The calendar weighs both.
Can I add the good times to my phone calendar?
Yes. Download the calendar file from the results and open it in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.
Is the calendar enough to fix a wedding date?
No. A wedding needs a full muhurta that looks at the couple’s charts, the day and the time. Book a consultation for that.
