Which of these suit you
The dates above are the same for everyone in the town. These two checks are not: tarabala counts the day's star from the child's, and chandrabala reads the Moon's sign from the child's. Give the child's birth star and the list below says which of these dates clear for the child, and what blocks the ones that do not.
