Tarabalam (or Tarabala) is the classical strength lookup used in muhurta selection: a 27-row table mapping every janma-nakshatra to its tara-position relative to today’s nakshatra. The 9-cycle (Janma → Sampat → Vipat → Kshema → Pratyari → Sadhaka → Vadha → Mitra → Ati-Mitra) tells you whether the day is favourable for someone with a given birth nakshatra. This tool computes today’s full table live for any city.

Tarabalam (Tarabala) is the classical strength table used in muhurta selection. It maps every birth nakshatra to its tara position relative to today's nakshatra, telling you whether the day is favourable for someone born under that nakshatra.
Count forward from your birth nakshatra to today's nakshatra. The count runs through the 9-tara cycle — Janma, Sampat, Vipat, Kshema, Pratyari, Sadhaka, Vadha, Mitra, Ati-Mitra — and the tara you land on determines how the day is for you.
Positions 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9 (Sampat, Kshema, Sadhaka, Mitra, Ati-Mitra) are favourable; positions 3, 5, and 7 (Vipat, Pratyari, Vadha) are unfavourable; position 1 (Janma) is neutral, with caveats.
Chandrabala is a complementary strength check based on the Moon's position relative to your rashi (moon sign). This tool shows chandrabala for all 12 rashis next to the Tarabala table.
Yes — Tarabala is measured against your birth nakshatra. The tool gives the full 27-nakshatra table for the day, so you can read off the row for your own birth nakshatra.
