Personal Nakshatra Prediction (Tarabala)

Returns a personalised daily prediction using Tarabala and Chandrabala. Tarabala measures the auspiciousness of the current day for an individual by assessing the relationship between their natal Moon nakshatra and the daily transit Moon nakshatra. Nine Taras from Janma (birth) to Ati-Mitra (great friend). Chandrabala measures the transit Moon's house from natal Moon. Also returns the transit nakshatra's quality type (Dhruva/Chara/ Ugra/Tikshna/Kshipra/Mridu/Mishra) with auspicious and inauspicious activities for today.
