Common questions

How do I find my Rashi by name?

In Hindu tradition, each Rashi (moon sign) is linked to specific starting sounds used when naming a baby. Type a name above, and it's matched to the corresponding Rashi based on this traditional system.

Is Rashi the same as zodiac sign?

Rashi is the Vedic astrology term for Moon sign, based on where the Moon was at your birth. Western zodiac (Sun sign) is based on the Sun's position instead — related, but calculated differently.

Which letters belong to which Rashi?

Mesha (A, L, I) · Vrishabha (B, V, U) · Mithuna (K) · Karka (H, D) · Simha (M, T) · Kanya (P) · Tula (R) · Vrischika (N, Y) · Dhanu (Bh, Dh, Ph) · Makara (Kh, J) · Kumbha (G, S, Sh) · Meena (Ch, Jh).

This is based on the traditional Vedic letter–Rashi association used in Hindu naming ceremonies, simplified here to first-letter matching in English transliteration. For a precise Rashi, actual Vedic astrology uses your exact birth date, time, and place — this tool is for the name-based tradition specifically, not a substitute for a birth chart.
