Name-Rashi (Zodiac sign), Ghati-Hour, Chinese Rashi (Zodiac sign) — Instant free calculation; 10+ more and Vedic tools below
The name-rashi comes from the name's first letter. Its classical base is the 108-pada table: 27 nakshatras × 4 padas = 108 letters, with every 9 padas (2¼ nakshatras) belonging to one rashi — Chu-Che-Cho-La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo-A to Aries, I-U-E-O-Va-Vi-Vu-Ve-Vo to Taurus, and so on.
Tradition uses the name-rashi where birth details are unavailable (fasts, charity, everyday practice). When the birth details are known, the birth rashi (Moon sign) always ranks first — this tool keeps that distinction clear.
Name-rashi and birth-rashi differ — which to follow?
For prediction, dashas and matching, always the birth rashi; the name-rashi serves where birth details simply aren't available or in folk practice.
Use the pet name or the full name?
Tradition takes the first letter of the name by which the person is actually known — usually the common first name.
What about compound letters (ksha, tra, gya)?
They are counted by their opening sound (ksha → ka-group etc.) — the calculator applies this rule automatically.
