How is Tara Bala calculated?

Starting from the birth nakshatra (Ardra), count to the other nakshatra beginning at 1. Divide that count by 9: the remainder gives the Tara number (1-9). A remainder of 0 means the 9th Tara (Ati-Mitra). 27 nakshatras / 9 taras = 3 nakshatras per category (including the birth star itself).

Tara Bala is only one part of the Ashtakoota system in full kundli matching. For a comprehensive match, run a full kundli match .
