Taras are used to assess the favorability of a particular Nakshatra for initiating an activity. They are derived by counting from the native's Janma Nakshatra to the Nakshatra being transited by the Moon (or sometimes other planets) on the day of the activity. The count is then divided by 9, and the remainder determines the Tara.
Taras are grouped into auspicious and inauspicious categories:
Auspicious Taras (for starting new projects): Janma (mixed), Sampat (2nd), Kshema (4th), Pratyari (5th - usually avoided for major events), Sadhaka (6th), Mitra (8th), Parama Mitra (9th).
Inauspicious Taras (to be avoided for important events): Vipata (3rd), Pratyari (5th - especially for important matters), Vadha (7th), Naidhana (7th), Pratyari (5th), Adhi Mitrasya (8th), Mitrasya (9th), and Vainaasika (22nd).
These are positional relationships from your natal nakshatra (Moon’s constellation). The count is forward in the nakshatra list (Ashwini → Revati).
Example of Mine Janma Nakshatra is Moola. Moola is the 19th Nakshatra in the sequence of 27.
Janma Nakshatra (1st):
Meaning: "Birth".
Indication: Shows general well-being.
For You (Moola): If the Moon transits Moola Nakshatra, it falls under the Janma Tara. This period is generally considered neutral to somewhat unfavorable for initiating new, important activities, as it brings the focus back to the self, potentially with health concerns or general restlessness.
2. Karma Nakshatra (10th):
Meaning: "Profession and workplace".
Indication: This Nakshatra shows profession and workplace.
For You (Moola + 9 = Uttara Bhadrapada): Counting 10 Nakshatras from Moola (Moola is 1st, Purva Ashadha is 2nd... to Uttara Bhadrapada as 10th). If the Moon transits Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra, it falls under the Karma Tara. This period is favorable for professional activities, work-related matters, and career advancements.
4. Sanghaatika Nakshatra (16th):
Meaning: "Belonging to group".
Indication: This Nakshatra shows group/social activities.
For You (Moola + 15 = Punarvasu): Counting 16 Nakshatras from Moola. If the Moon transits Punarvasu Nakshatra, it falls under the Sanghaatika Tara. This is similar to Saamudaayika, indicating favorability for social gatherings, networking, joining associations, or activities where you belong to a collective.
5. Jaati Nakshatra (4th):
Meaning: "Community".
Indication: This Nakshatra shows one's community. People who belong to the same class, nature, and profession.
For You (Moola + 3 = Purva Ashadha): Counting 4 Nakshatras from Moola. If the Moon transits Purva Ashadha Nakshatra, it falls under the Jaati Tara. This period is good for activities related to your immediate community, family, caste, or people sharing your background and profession. It emphasizes belonging and rootedness.
6. Naidhana Nakshatra (7th):
Meaning: "Death".

It indicates potential for obstacles, losses, difficulties, health issues, or endings. Activities initiated during this Tara are likely to face severe challenges.
7. Desa Nakshatra (12th):
Meaning: "Country".
Indication: This Nakshatra shows one's country.
