The five limbs ofTODAY.
The sky over you, right now.
Live planet positions, the Rahu Kaal to skip, and today's sun & moon energy — computed for New Delhi. Pick your city below to make it yours.
See whose day it is, at a glance.
Add family or friends by their birth star. Each person's initial shows up on every day above — green when the day favours them, red when it doesn't. Great for finding a date that works for everyone. Saved on this device only.
No one added yet — add your first person to light up the calendar.
The panchang is the Hindu almanac for a day. It has five parts — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (moon star), yoga, karana and vara (weekday) — plus good and bad hours like Rahu Kaal, worked out from your local sunrise and sunset. Change the city and every timing changes with it.
Three quick checks before you pick a date
The panchang rates the day in general. These three checks rate it for you — against your own birth star and Moon sign. Tap through them, then see the fixes.
Does the day’s star favour yours?
Tarabala is the strength the sky lends your birth star (Janma Nakshatra). As the Moon moves through the 27 nakshatras, its daily position turns favourable or unfavourable to your star.
The 27 nakshatras are split into three sets of nine — each set a Paryaya (Navaka).
Is the Moon on your side today?
Chandrabala measures the Moon’s goodwill from your Moon sign (Janma Rashi) — the emotional weather of the day.
It is the quickest of the three checks: one count from your rashi to where the Moon sits right now.
Any five-fold caution flagged?
Panchaka flags five kinds of risky timing from a simple sum of the day’s core numbers.
A clear remainder means none of the five doshas apply to the moment you are considering.
The full Tarabala grid
Find your birth star down the left, then read across to the day's star. The number is the Tara — green favours you, red is weak, slate is neutral.

The small word in each cell is the Tara's planetary lord — the graha whose parihara (remedy) applies when that Tara is weak. See the Remedies tab.
Pariharas — remedies for a weak Tarabala
When the day’s star is weak for you but the date can’t move, the classical texts prescribe a small charitable remedy (parihara). A strong muhurta chart with well-placed planets counters most doshas on its own.
Janma dosha
Donate a yellow vegetable such as pumpkin, or leafy greens.
Vipat dosha
Donate jaggery.
Pratyak dosha
Donate salt.
Naidhana dosha
Best avoided; if unavoidable, donate til (sesame) with gold.
Naidhana is best avoided outright — treat its remedy as a last resort, not a green light.
Muhurta strength — questions
Quick answers on Tarabala, Chandrabala and Panchaka.
What is Tarabala in Vedic astrology?
Tarabala is the strength your birth star (Janma Nakshatra) lends a given day. Count from your birth star to the day’s nakshatra, counting both, and divide by 9: a remainder of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 9 (0) is favourable, while 1, 3, 5 or 7 is weak.
What is Chandrabala and how is it checked?
Chandrabala is the Moon’s support. Count from your Moon sign (Janma Rashi) to the sign the Moon occupies on the day of the event; counts of 1, 3, 6, 7, 10 or 11 give Chandrabala. The 8th position — Ashtama Chandra — is avoided.
How is Panchaka calculated?
Add the numbers of the tithi, weekday, nakshatra and the muhurta lagna, then divide by 9. Remainders of 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8 are the inauspicious Mrityu, Agni, Raja, Chora and Roga Panchakas; remainders of 3, 5, 7 or 0 are good.
Can a weak Tarabala be corrected?
Yes, through Pariharas (remedial donations): yellow pumpkin or leafy vegetables for Janma Tara dosha, jaggery for Vipat, salt for Pratyak, and sesame (til) with gold for Naidhana — which is best avoided. A strong muhurta chart with well-placed planets also counters many doshas.
