Tarabala and Chandrabala

Tarabala and Chandrabala for any date, with the Moon's star and sign change times. For every Moon nakshatra and Moon sign in the range (1 to 31 civil days) it gives the exact start and end, the tara counted from the birth nakshatra with its name and whether it is favourable, and the Moon's house from the natal Moon sign with the chandrabala verdict (Muhurta Chintamani rules). Needs the birth Moon, so a birth time makes it exact; without one the natal Moon may be a star off.

IANA timezone. Required if location not provided (unless utc_offset is given). For dates before the zone adopted a standard time, the birthplace's local mean time (longitude / 15 hours) is used.

utc_offsetstring nullable

Optional explicit UTC offset of the birth time, as ±HH:MM or ±HH:MM:SS (e.g. '+04:51:31' for Bombay mean time). Overrides the offset timezone would give. Use it when the birth record states the offset, or for historical local times the IANA database cannot represent.
