3.6 Nakshtra Transit

3.6.1 It is a corollary of the above system. Just as we analyze transit of planets in different houses from natal Moon sign, we can also analyze the transit from Nakshtra occupied by the natal Moon i.e. natal star or birth Nakshtra or Janam Tara. A Nakshtra is called asterism, constellation or lunar mansion. A Nakshtra occupies comparatively a much smaller arc in extent (only 44.44% of a zodiacal sign) and hence are expected to give better results. The Nakshtra occupied by the Moon at birth is called Janam Tara, the 10^th from it is called Anujanam Tara and the 19^th is called Trijanam Tara. All these three Nakshtra are ruled by the same planet. The 2^nd from any of these three Nakshtra is called Sampat Tara, the 3^rd is called Vipat Tara, the 4^th is called Kshema Tara, the 5^th is called Pratyari Tara, the 6^th is called Sadhak Tara, the 7^th Nidhan/ Vadha Tara, the 8^th Mitra Tara and the 9^th Nakshtra is called Param Mitra Tara. Transit over 2^nd, 4^th, 6^th, 8^th and 9^th Nakshtra normally gives good results while transit over 3^rd, 5^th and 7^th Nakshtra gives bad results and transit over Janam Nakshtra gives neutral results. However the results during the first triad i.e. 1^st to 9^th Nakshtra give more pronounced results and the results in 2^nd triad i.e. 10^th to 19^th gives less pointed results and the results in 3^rd trials are only moderate. For each planet’s the benefic Nakshtra/ star counted from birth Nakshtra are given below:

Table 8: Benefic Transit of Nakshtra from Birth Nakshtra

Mars	6, 9, 11, 17, 18, 20, 22 & 26
Mercury, Jupiter & Venus	4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26 & 27
Saturn, Rahu & Ketu	2, 4, 6, 9, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 22, & 24

 Thus for the native of Chart No. 2 (Dr. Mrs. Singhal), a planet through Nakshtra of Ketu (Sampat), Sun (Kshem), Mars (Sadhak), Jupiter (Mitra) and Saturn (Param Mitra) will generally give good results; transit through Nakshtra of Venus (Vipat), Moon (Pratyari), and Rahu (Nidhan) will give bad results; while transit through Nakshtra of Mercury (Janamtara) will be neutral.
