Taras Bal (Stars)

Basic Tara Classification
We can count constellations from the constellation of natal Moon to the constellation occupied by a planet in transit. Suppose natal Moon is in Makha and transit Mars is in Swaati. Counting constellations from Makha, we get (1) Maksha, (2) Poorva Phalguni, (3) Uttara Phalguni, (4) Hasta, (5) Chitra and (6) Swaati. So Swaati is the 6th constellation from natal Moon’s constellation.

Different constellations from the constellation of natal Moon stand for different things, as shown in Table 15. If a planet is in a bad tara in its transit, it cannot give its full results. If dasa lord and antardasa lord as per Vimsottari dasa are in bad taras, bad results can be expected.

Taras
Constellation (from natalMoon’s constellation) Name Meaning
1st, 10th, 19th. Janam Tara. Birth (mixed)
2nd, 11th, 20th Sampat Tara Wealth (good)
3rd, 12th, 21st Vipat Tara Danger (bad)
4th, 13th, 22nd Kshema Tara Well-being (good)
5th, 14th, 23rd Pratyak Tara Obstacles (bad)
6th, 15th, 24th Saadhana Tara Achievement (good)
7th, 16th, 25th Naidhana/Vadha Tara Death (bad)
8th, 17th, 26th Mitra Tara Friend (good)
9th, 18th, 27th Parama Mitra Tara Best friend (good)
Taras are also used in muhurtas. At the time of an auspicious effort or when a new project is launched, transit Moon should not be in a bad constellation with respect to the natal Moon’s constellation.

Special Nakshatras/Taras
In addition to the above general classification, we have a few special nakshatras for each person:

(1) The constellation occupied by natal Moon is called Janma nakshatra. Janam means “birth” and this nakshatra shows general well-being.
(1) The 10th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Karma nakshatra. Karma means “profession” and this nakshatra shows profession and workplace.
(1) The 18th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Saamudaayika nakshatra. Saamudaayika roughly means “related to a crowd” and this nakshatra shows group activities.

(1) The 16th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Sanghaatika nakshatra. Sanghaatika roughly means “belonging to group” and this nakshatra shows group/social activities.
(1) The 4th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Jaati nakshatra. Jaati roughly means “community” and this nakshatra shows one’s community. To be more correct, one’s jaati shows people who belong to the same class, nature and profession.
(1) The 7th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Naidhana nakshatra. Naidhana means “death” and this nakshatra shows death and suffering.

(1) The 12th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Desa nakshatra. Desa means “country” and this nakshatra shows one’s country.
(1) The 13th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Abhisheka nakshatra. Abhisheka means “coronation” and this nakshatra shows power and authority. This is also called Raajya nakshatra (kingdom).
(1) The 19th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Aadhaana nakshatra. Aadhaana means “epoch/conception” and this nakshatra shows well-being of family.

(1) The 22th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Vainaasika/Vinaasana nakshatra. Vainaasika means “destructive” and this nakshatra shows one’s destruction.
(1) The 25th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Maanasa nakshatra. Maanasa means “mind” and this nakshatra shows one’s mental state.

Benefics or malefics situated in these constellations in their transit bring good or bad results related to the area covered by the nakshatra. However, it should be kept in mind that the results will be with respect to the native. For example, malefics transiting in desa nakshatra may not ruin one’s country. After all, any country has almost the same number of people with desa nakshatra in each constellation. When many malefics are transiting in desa nakshatra, one may be driven away from one’s country or start hating one’s country. Similarly, many malefics transiting in jaati nakshatra may alienate one from one’s community. Many benefics transiting in karma nakshatra may give success at workplace. This is how these special nakshatras should be used. Sometimes, using these nakshtras gives special insights that cannot be gained by looking at any divisional chart.
