There is free software available on Main Page to calculate your Daily Fortune using Navtara. All you need to know is your birth-time nakshatra.

     If you don't know your birth-time nakshatra you can use our horoscope software especially its Nakshatra Finder feature.

     Navtara is essentially made up of two words. Nav means nine and Tara means star. Navtara system is a vedic concept designed to predict daily fortune for an individual using movement of Moon's transit via various nakshatras.

     For beginners who have no clue about vedic astrology lets simplify it further. There are twenty-seven nakshatras known as constellations in the sky. It takes Moon about 27.3 days to revolve around the earth. During this period of twenty seven days it passes via each and every one of the twenty-seven nakshatras.

     Navtara requires knowing your birth-time nakshatra. In simpler words a native needs to know Moon's nakshatra at time of birth. After that native needs to know the current nakshatra through which Moon is traversing. So you would need two things to calculate navtara

1. Nakshatra at birth-time

     Navtara system brackets twenty-seven nakshatras into nine categories. Three nakshatras are assigned to each category. Moon's transit via these three nakshatras of single category would provide similar results.
