Nakshatra Tara Chakra Overview

Nakshatra Tara Chakra is an intricate system used in Vedic astrology to analyze the effects of planetary periods (Dashas) and their sub-periods (Antar Dashas) on an individual's life.Online Clock There are 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions), which are divided into nine groups, each influencing different aspects of life.


#### Key Components of Nakshatra Tara Chakra

1. **Jatak's Birth Nakshatra (Janma Nakshatra)**: The Nakshatra where the Moon is located at the time of birth.

2. **Mahadasha**: Major period governed by a planet.

3. **Antar Dasha**: Sub-periods within a Mahadasha, governed by planets.

4. **Nakshatra Tara Chakra**: Divided into nine Tara, each influencing different life aspects. These are Janma Tara, Sampat Tara, Vipat Tara, Kshema Tara, Pratyari Tara, Sadhak Tara, Vadha Tara, Mitra Tara, and Ati Mitra Tara.

5. **Stool Adhipati**: The ruler of the planet's sign where it resides.

6. **Sookshma Adhipati**: The Nakshatra lord of the planet.


#### Steps to Determine the Effects

1. **Identify Birth Nakshatra**: Find the Nakshatra where the Moon is situated at birth.

2. **Determine Mahadasha and Antar Dasha**: Identify the major and sub-period ruling planets.

3. **Calculate Tara Positions**: Count from the Janma Nakshatra to the Mahadasha and Antar Dasha Nakshatra to determine the Tara position.


#### Significance of Tara Positions

1. **Janma Tara (1st Tara)**: Influences physical activities and outcomes based on effort.

2. **Sampat Tara (2nd Tara)**: Indicates wealth and fortune.

3. **Vipat Tara (3rd Tara)**: Denotes crises and dangers.

4. **Kshema Tara (4th Tara)**: Represents welfare and the end of difficulties.

5. **Pratyari Tara (5th Tara)**: Brings obstacles and enemies.

6. **Sadhak Tara (6th Tara)**: Relates to achievements and success.

7. **Vadha Tara (7th Tara)**: Indicates death, misfortune, and end of endeavors.

8. **Mitra Tara (8th Tara)**: Brings support, happiness, and wealth.

9. **Ati Mitra Tara (9th Tara)**: The most beneficial Tara, representing complete support and favorable outcomes.


#### Practical Example

To illustrate the process, let's take an example of determining the Mahadasha and Antar Dasha effects:


1. **Find Birth Nakshatra**: Suppose the birth Nakshatra is Bharani (ruled by Venus).

2. **Determine Mahadasha**: Let's consider the Mahadasha of Mars (Mangala).

3. **Count Tara Position**: Count from Bharani to the Nakshatra of Mars' Mahadasha to find its Tara position. Repeat for Antar Dasha lord's Nakshatra.


Example Calculation:

- **Birth Nakshatra**: Bharani

- **Mahadasha Nakshatra**: Purva Phalguni (also ruled by Venus)

- **Count**: From Bharani to Purva Phalguni, it's the 10th Nakshatra. Divide by 9 (since there are nine Taras), and the remainder gives the Tara position (1st Tara, Janma Tara in this case).


### Conclusion

The Nakshatra Tara Chakra method helps in analyzing the planetary influences during different Dashas and Antar Dashas, providing insights into periods of wealth, crisis, support, and obstacles. Understanding and calculating these Tara positions offer a detailed view of the planetary impacts on an individual's life, helping in making informed decisions and predictions.
