How naam rashi works

Each of the 27 nakshatras has four padas, and each pada has a traditional syllable, 108 in all. The first sound of a name points to one pada, which belongs to a nakshatra and a rashi. That rashi is the naam rashi.

Naam rashi vs janma rashi

Your janma rashi (Moon sign at birth) is used for kundli, dasha and matching. Your naam rashi is used for daily horoscopes when the birth time is unknown, and for choosing names. Find your janma rashi with the Moon sign calculator.
