Tara Bala is a Vedic astrology technique that measures the harmony between your birth Moon nakshatra (Janma Nakshatra) and the Moon's nakshatra on any chosen day. The 27 nakshatras are counted from your birth nakshatra in a repeating cycle of nine categories — from Janma (1st, most personal) through Sampat (wealth), Vipat (danger), Kshema (well-being), Pratyak (obstacle), Sadhana (achievement), Naidhana (death), Mitra (friend) to Parama Mitra (best friend). Each category carries a distinct quality that influences how auspicious or inauspicious that day is specifically for you.
Chandra Bala (Moon strength) evaluates the Moon's condition at the check moment independently of your birth nakshatra: the Moon's house position from Lagna (6th, 8th and 12th are noted as challenging), conjunctions with malefic planets (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu), Moon hemmed between malefics (Papakartari), and Kartari Yoga on Lagna. Together, Tara Bala and Chandra Bala form two of the most important personal inputs in muhurta scoring.
