Meanings of the 9 Taras

Much like the houses of the horoscope, the Taras have certain qualities.  From your Ascendant,
specific houses, like the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th all have difficult connotations.  The 8th house will
always give extreme changes and life-changing situations no matter if Aries is on the 8th house
or Taurus is on the 8th house.  With Nakshatras, we do the same thing.  From the Moon’s Birth
Nakshatra, different Nakshatras take on different qualities.  These Nakshatras, also called Taras,
are more benign or more difficult depending upon where they fall from your Nakshatra and it has
nothing to do with the qualities or characteristics of the Nakshatra itself.  By a simple glance at
these Nakshatras we can get an idea of the horoscope and also make some predictions.

1st Tara

“Janma” or Birth Tara:  Birth of ideas and initial activity.  All kinds of beginnings, beginning of
life, beginning of a project, beginning of ideas and anything that arises in our consciousness or
arises in our life has its beginnings in our Janma Nakshatra. The general attitude and personality
characteristics are seen from the 1st Tara as whatever is in the first Tara is conjoined the Moon
which is our consciousness.  Therefore planets in the first Tara are very much within our
consciousness and part of who we are.  The 1st Tara or Birth Nakshatra equates to the Ascendant
in the Birth Chart.

2nd Tara

 “Sampat” or wealth, accomplishment: The 2nd Tara shows what we are responsible for, i.e. our
possessions and the ability to take care of our responsibilities.  The 2nd Tara equates to 2nd house
in the Birth Chart.  It can mean all of our valuable possessions, our bank account but not our
income, our family, the food we eat, any type of resource we may have and our close friends. 
Receptivity and ability to enjoy what is given to one, to be open to the good things in life, to take
experiences in and benefit from them, are all connotations of the 2nd Tara.

3rd Tara
“Vipat” or Hindrance:  This Tara has connotations of the 3rd House in the horoscope.  The 3rd
House is considered to be a house of difficulties according to Parasara.  The 3rd House revolves
around things that always involve difficulties.  The 3rd House is the house of travel.  Travel
comes from French word “Travail” which means hard work and difficulties.  You cannot go on a
trip without having a problem.  Traveling is hard work.  Siblings are also ruled by the 3rd house. 
Siblings make life difficult, siblings fight over toys, food, friends, and most importantly, their
parents.  The 3rd House is competition, skills we are forced to develop and situations that warrant
exerting our will.  This difficult Tara causes frustration, it denotes things that don’t settle well
with us, that cause us to feel irritated or angry, and presents situations we have conflict with. 
Any planet falling in 3rd Tara represents something that will frustrate us and give a us a lot of
conflict.  The 3rd Tara are things we will have to learn how to make peace with.  Difficult
situations and experiences can be overcome in the 3rd Tara with patience, perseverance and will
power.

4th Tara

“Kshema” or things that create security:  The 4th Tara is related to the 4th and 5th Houses in the
horoscope.  The 4th House is having property, having a place to go, having a home which creates
a lot of security. The 5th House creates security as well.  Psychologically the 5th House creates
security through self-esteem, confidence and also the security of children, the security of
continuing the family lineage which is very important to some people.  The security of progeny
is helpful in old age and keeping wealth in the family.  The person with a good 4th Tara
experiences security and well being.  Because of this security, it allows the person to work at
their finest.  Kshema Tara is the Nakshatra that helps things to go our way. The 4th Tara is where
we are finding happiness, security and comfort and therefore helps us behave accordingly.  The
4th Tara will also denote land, real estate, vehicles, lakes or ponds and the Mother.

5th Tara

“Pratyak” or Averted:  The 5th Tara denotes something that is missed, something that has already
come and passed, a missed opportunity for you to benefit from.  The 5th Tara is a challenging
Tara and has connotations of 6th House in the horoscope.  The key words and phrases are averted,
experience of lack and limited fulfillment.  The 5th Tara will make you feel as if you must move
in another direction to find fulfillment because it places so many obstacles and setbacks in your
current focus. This Tara causes us to feel a lack of happiness, so we go to something else looking
for happiness, but we should stick to the original focus and think of it as something we need to
be responsible for and to develop.  Even though we may feel lack and are searching for
something that will make us feel better, this Tara will not give us anything better.  The 5th Tara
denotes those karmic things that we just have to take care of, be responsible for and have a duty
towards even though they are not fulfilling us.  This is a Karmic, Saturnian type of Tara.  The 5th
Tara also denotes enemies and health, therefore it can give illness, court cases, shame, etc.

6th Tara

“Sadhaka” or effective, efficient, perfecting, productive, useful:  The 6th Tara is a beneficial Tara
that relates to the 7th House in the horoscope.  A good spouse makes life more productive,
efficient and helps perfect a person.  The 6th Tara denotes recognition of the worth and value of
activity which prompts productivity and the desire to perfect the event.  The 6th Tara helps us to
make the best decisions.  If the 6th Tara is good then the choices we take result in the best actions
and cause the greatest amount of good, success, and perfection.  The 6th Tara denotes business
and business partners, the public and residence in foreign countries.

7th Tara

“Vadha” or slayer, destroyer, death, destruction, prevention:  The 7th Tara is the most difficult
Nakshatra from the Moon.  Another name for the 7th Tara is Naidhana which means deadly or
perishable.  The 7th Tara denotes things that are perishable, going to die or are going to be
destroyed.  The 7th Tara relates to the 8th House in a horoscope. Other significations of this Tara
are crises, changes and things causing termination.  Some beneficial effects of the 7th Tara are
benefitting from other people’s money, working in the occult, working in psychology or therapy
and gaining from the spouse’s resources.  This Tara will cause us to have strong feelings of
vulnerability, psychological complexes and fear thereby preventing happiness with the planets
that fall within this Nakshatra.  There are usually some traumatic events surrounding the
significations of the planets associated with the 7th Tara.  It is where the unexpected will happens
to us.

8th Tara

“Maitra” or friendly, benevolent, helpful to a person:  The 8th Tara relates to 9th and 10th Houses
in the horoscope.  These Houses make us dutiful and benevolent to other people, therefore the 8th
Tara is a highly beneficial Tara that will allow us to follow our dharma or life-purpose (9th
House) and to influence the world (10th House).  The  9th House is our dharma, our purpose, our
spirituality combined with 10th house significations such as our duty, our karma, the influence we
wield in the world translates in how benevolent, dutiful, and friendly we are to the rest of the
world.  The 8th Tara denotes actions performed toward the world, not the actions of the world
towards us.  If we follow our dharma, which is really our inspiration, then we are happy, we are
doing good, and we are doing the right thing. Planets and their significations in this Tara are
being productive.

9th Tara

“Parama Maitra” or best or highest friendship, the most friendly, the most benevolent, the most
useful:  the 9th Tara relates to the 11th and 12th Houses.  The 11th House signifies getting the most
that we can in life, providing the most and the best for other people and then receiving our due.
The 11th House is the gain that we have earned through the world, whether in past lives or in this
life.  According the nature of the 9th Tara, we will receive our just rewards.  If this Tara is well
disposed, then the world is very friendly to us.   One of the things that separates our friend from
our best friend is that our best friend will be able to accept and let go of things, whereas a friend
might not be as forgiving.  The 12th House has connotations of loss and the completion of
karmas, so the friend that sacrifices, the friend that suffers loss for us is really the best friend. 
The 9th Tara relates to how friendly the world is to us whereas the 8th Tara is how friendly we are
to the world.  You are not obliged to give anything to receive the great rewards from Parama
Maitreya.  .  The Parama Maitra Tara is a Nakshatra of great fulfillment.

After the 9th Nakshatra ends, the 10th Nakshatra is the Birth Nakshatra again.  When 10th
Nakshatra ends, the 11th Nakshatra is ‘Sampat’, etc.  The 19th Nakshatra starts the 3rd set of nine
Nakshatras all over again, so the Birth Nakshatras or Taras are the 1st, 10th, and 19th Nakshatras. 
The 2nd, 11th and 20th Nakshatras are all Sampat Nakshatras or Taras, the 3rd, 12th and 21st
Nakshatras are Vipat Nakshatras and so on.
