Frequently Asked Questions

This is a critical distinction in Vedic Astrology.
  • Janma Rashi (Birth Sign): Calculated from your exact date and time of birth. It is 100% accurate for detailed predictions.
  • Nama Rashi (Name Sign): Calculated from the first letter of your name (using the Avakahada Chakra). It is used for daily transit predictions (Gochar) and marriage matching when birth details are unknown.

It is accurate for Prashna (Horary) and Muhurtha purposes. If you do not have your birth time, the vibration of the name you are called by acts as your astrological identity. However, for deeper life analysis (Dasha periods), we always recommend using the birth date method if possible.

The Avakahada Chakra is a classical Vedic table that maps Sanskrit sounds (phonetics) to specific Nakshatras and Padas. For example, the sound "Chu" maps to Ashwini Nakshatra, 1st Pada. Our tool uses this exact logic to find your sign.

Yes. In fact, traditionally, if the bride or groom did not have a horoscope, the astrologer would use their "Calling Name" to check compatibility. While not as detailed as a full Kundli match, it is a valid and widely accepted method for checking basic compatibility (Guna Milan).

In Vedic phonetics, we look at the dominant starting sound. For "Krishna", the sound is "Kr" (mapped to Gemini/Mrigashira). For "Drona", it is "Dr". Our tool automatically handles these combined sounds to give you the correct Rashi.
