The 9 taras
Tarabalam is the strength of the day's nakshatra for you. Count from your janma (birth) nakshatra to the day's nakshatra and group the count in nines: Sampat (2), Kshema (4), Sadhana (6), Mitra (8) and Parama Mitra (9) are good; Vipat (3), Pratyak (5) and Naidhana (7) are avoided for new beginnings; Janma (1) is mixed.
Calculated for each city with Drik Ganita. For a ceremony or muhurtam, confirm with your priest.

Questions
How is tarabalam counted?
Tarabalam is the strength of the day's nakshatra for you. Count from your janma (birth) nakshatra to the day's nakshatra and group the count in nines: Sampat (2), Kshema (4), Sadhana (6), Mitra (8) and Parama Mitra (9) are good; Vipat (3), Pratyak (5) and Naidhana (7) are avoided for new beginnings; Janma (1) is mixed.
Tarabalam or Chandrabalam: which matters more?
Both are checked for a muhurtam. A common rule of thumb: Chandrabalam (the Moon's sign from your rashi) in the bright half and Tarabalam in the dark half, and avoid Chandrashtamam always. Your priest decides for a ceremony.
