House Direction Finder (Vastu by Name)
This tool gives traditional Vastu direction suggestions from the opening sound of a name. It does not measure the direction a building faces. Enter your name to explore the association, then read the result as a traditional interpretation.
Before you use the result
To find a building’s actual facing, check its orientation on a site plan or take a compass reading. A name-based result does not assess the layout, ventilation, access or condition of a property.
Explore Your Name’s Direction Association
Enter your first name as you normally write it. Transliteration can change how the first sound is matched.
Directions in the Vastu Tradition
In Vedic tradition, the 8 directions are guarded by 8 deities (Dikpalas). Your compatibility with a direction depends on the relationship between your Rashi lord and the Digpala (Guardian of the Direction).

Why Name-Based Vastu?
While your Birth Chart (Janma Kundali) is supreme, many people do not have accurate birth times. In such cases, the Nama Rashi (Name Sign) is considered the operating frequency of the individual. Ancient texts like Muhurta Chintamani validate checking Vastu compatibility using the name's first syllable (Avakahada Chakra).
