Nakshatra/Star of moon at the time of your birth is known as Birth star. Moon's dail y star / Nakshatra position needs to be favourable for casting any muhurtha. Moon takes roughly 27 days to circle around earth ea rth and passes through 27 nakshatras. Daily motion of moon from your janma nakshatra decides this strength. mypanchang.com mypanchang.com provides provides daily star of moon for your city. As moon transists into different stars it becomes favourable or unfavourable to your birth star. This tarabalam is divided into three sets of 9 nakshatras. Each part is called Navakam. To calculate tarabalam one must calculate position of daily nakshatra from your Janma nakshatra (both nakshatra inclusive). Divide that by 9. If the reminder is 2 ,4,6,8,9 or 0 then it's good otherwise it's bad.

While deciding muhurthas in case the the tara balam happens to be bad(1,3,5 and 7) and the tara falls in First Navakam for Janma Tara, S econd Navakam for Vipat Tara, and Third Navakam for Pratyak Tara and in any Navakam for Naidhana has to be discarded. Muhurthas are possible even during the bad tarabalam by doing suitable dosha pariharam. Tarabalam is a basic step in calculating muhurtha. Other factors like panchaka bala, calculation of muhurta chart is very important. If muhurtha chart is strong and required planets are positioned well it counters all doshas. This does not replace the judgement of a professional astrologer but uses it as an aide.
Pariharam for Taradosham
For Janma Tara: Saka Danam--Yellow Pumpkin,Leafy Vegetable, For Vipat Tara: Jaggery Danam For Pratyak Tara: Salt Danam For Naidhana Tara: Should be avoided. If inevitable Tila Sahita Suvrana Danam(Seseme seeds+Gold)
