Muhurta — Choosing a Time · Gurukul Plus

Tarabala, Chandrabala & What to Avoid

Making a muhurta personal, and the daily windows nobody elects.

This chapter is part of Gurukul Plus

The foundational curriculum — grahas, rashis, bhavas, nakshatras, dashas and how to read a chart with them — is free to read here and free to practise in the app. Muhurta — Choosing a Time is one of the advanced chapters, and its teaching text comes with Plus.

Plus is ₹199 a month, or ₹1,999 a year. It opens every advanced chapter and raises your saved charts from one to four, so you can work on family charts alongside your own. Both plans renew until you cancel, and cancelling takes one click.

Writing up your experience in the community earns Plus days too — see the subreddit.

Terms introduced here

Tarabala: The nine taras counted from a person's birth star to the day's star — five favourable, three unfavourable, one sensitive.
Chandrabala: The Moon's transit position relative to the natal Moon — some houses support an undertaking and some don't.
Periods to avoid: Rahu Kalam and the other daily inauspicious eighths — fixed by weekday, computed from sunrise and sunset.
Rules per activity: Each kind of undertaking has its own ruleset; a good day for travel is not automatically a good day for a wedding.
