Tara (star relationship)
3 / 3
Tara (star relationship) counts inclusively from each birth star to the other in a nine-step cycle. Shatabhisha to Swati: count 19, remainder 1, Janma (birth-star relationship), favorable. Swati to Shatabhisha: count 10, remainder 1, Janma (birth-star relationship), favorable. Anantrix treats remainders 3, 5, and 7 as unfavorable; each favorable direction contributes 1.5 points. A zero remainder is shown as 9. Both directions are Janma (birth-star relationship). Its treatment varies by tradition: some count Janma as unfavorable, which would give 0 instead of the declared 3 Tara points.
