Tara Chakra

Tara Chakra

The word means Tara. It is a very important predictive tool in astrology. We can ascertain the mood of Nakshatras as positive or negative for a particular native with the help of it. It is an effective tool to determine the transit result. This factor is widely used in Muhurta matters.

In this scheme, 27 stars are distributed in nine groups of ‘Taras’ having three stars each. So, there are nine Taras having three stars in each namely Janma, Sampat, Vipat, Kshema, Pratyari, Sadhak, Vadh or Nidhan, Mitra, and Ati-Mitra. All three stars in a particular Tara are ruled by the same planet.

It is more relevant in the dark half according to some as said by sage Narad “कृष्ण पक्षे बली तारा, शुक्ल पक्षे बली शशि”.

• What is the Janma Nakshatra: The star occupied by the Moon at the time of birth is known as ‘Janma Nakshatra or natal star’ generally. But a great ancient authority of ‘Vedic astrology’ Sage Satyacharya clearly suggested comparing the strength of the Ascendant and Moon to finalize the birth star of a native.
• In some Horoscopes the Ascendant star becomes prominent, in some other Horoscopes the Moon constellation is effective due to some kind of certain planetary position or some other astrological factors. I am failed to catch such responsible astrological conditions till now. The suggestion of Sage Satyacharya to calculate relative strength is a much tough and more confusing factor.
• Most astrologers consider Moon stars as birth stars of the native without ifs and buts.
