In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 356.
The 11th, the 6th and the 12th are best. The others are middling. In the dark fortnight, the 2nd, 3rd and 5th are allowed. The other tithis (moon days) are very bad.
Simple meaning: The 11th, 6th and 12th days are best. In the dark half, only the 2nd, 3rd and 5th are fine.

Counting from the birth star, the 10th, 16th, 18th and 23rd stars are marked out.
मानसं पंचविंशर्क्षं नाचरेच्छुभमेषु तु ।
Avoid those stars. Jupiter, Mercury and Venus days are good. Moon and Sun days are middling.
