Chandra bala counts today's Moon from your natal Moon sign: strong in the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th, weak in the 4th, 8th and 12th. Tara bala counts today's nakshatra from your birth nakshatra in nines: ✓ favourable, ○ your own star (mixed), × not for starting important things. This is the shared reading for everyone with your Moon sign; your chart and running dasha decide more.
How to read the day's panchang
The tithi is the lunar day; it sets the general tone and whether the day suits beginnings. The nakshatra is the Moon's mansion; it decides above all which activities the day favours. The yoga and karana refine the quality of the day; some of them, such as Vyatipata, Vaidhriti or Vishti karana, are avoided for beginnings. The weekday colours the day with the nature of its planet.
Change times are given in the local time of New York. When a limb changes during the day, morning and evening carry different values.
Unfavourable and favourable windows
Rahu kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika are segments of the day in which tradition advises against starting important things. Abhijit around noon and Amrit kalam are windows favourable for almost any beginning. More in the articles on Rahu kalam and muhurat.

This page shows the day for everyone. How well it suits you personally depends on your Moon nakshatra (tara bala) and Moon sign (chandra bala). The JyotiSoft Mini App adds a personal rating of the day to the panchang and suggests the best window for your plans.
