Rashi in Vedic Astrology and How to Find Rashi by Name?

DateJanuary 3, 2024

In astrology, there are twelve signs known as Rashis or Zodiacs. Each sign is associated with a particular constellation. The twelve Rashis are Mesha(Aries), Vrishabha(Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), Karka(Cancer), Simha(Leo), Kanya(Virgo), Tula(Libra), Vrishchika(Scorpio), Dhanu(Sagittarius), Makara(Capricorn), Kumbha(Aquarius), and Meena(Pisces). You might have heard the term zodiac sign, which is the Western name for Rashi. However, zodiac signs are based on the placement and position of the Sun at the time of your birth, while Rashi is calculated based on the placement and position of the Moon.

In many parts of India, people name their children based on their Rashi and Nakshatra (constellation). Each Rashi and Nakshatra is associated with certain letters that are believed to be auspicious for naming a child. The chart mentioned in the original text can help you find your Rashi by your name, and it can also suggest favorable letters for naming your baby if you know their Rashi.

What is Rashi in Vedic Astrology

Can you explain what Rashi means in Astrology?

In Vedic astrology, the position of the Moon in an individual’s birth chart is considered very important for accurate analysis. This is because the Moon’s placement is used to determine the individual’s “Moon sign” or “Chandra Rashi.” In Hindu culture, it is common for parents to select names for their babies based on their birth star and moon sign. They use this information to determine the first letter of the baby’s name. The Chandra Rashi is more important than the Sun sign or Zodiac sign and Birthstar in Vedic astrology, and it is used to determine other important movements like transits and planetary dasha.

What do people mean by the Rashi Name in Vedic Astrology?

The name of your zodiac sign, called Rashi, is suggested by an astrologer based on the moon sign and Nakshatra, which are determined by your birth details like birth date, time of birth, and place of birth. In some cases, the Rashi name is only used for horoscope analysis and not shared with others. However, in many parts of India, especially in the North, an astrologer may suggest some initials for names based on your moon sign. You can use these initials to choose a name for yourself or your baby, which will become your Rashi name.

According to Vedic Astrology, when a baby is born, a Kundali is created, which tells us the Rashi and Nakshatra of the baby. Based on this information, an astrologer suggests a Rashi name for the baby. A Rashi name is a name that is kept based on the astrological birth details of the baby, and it helps keep track of the Rashi and Nakshatra of an individual later in the future. In North India, parents often choose names for their children based on their Rashi names. If you are wondering how to know your Rashi name, you can consult an astrologer who will calculate your date, time, and place of birth to determine your Rashi and suggest a suitable name for you.

“Can a person’s name based on their zodiac sign (Rashi) be used to make predictions about their life?”

As per the Vedic Hindu Astrology, the name of a person’s Rashi holds a significant role in their life. It helps in analyzing and predicting various events in their life, such as family, finance, career, love life, marriage, and more. Sometimes, people lose their birth chart or Kundali, but the Rashi name can still offer valuable insights into their future. With the help of Rashi’s name, one can predict both fortunate and unfortunate events in their life.

How do you find “Rashi” in Vedic Astrology, and how can you determine it by name?

If you don’t know your date of birth, you can still find your Rashi – a zodiac sign that is determined by the first letter of your name. Knowing your Rashi can reveal a lot about your future life events. In many Hindu families, people’s names are chosen based on their Rashi and birth star. But if you don’t know your birth date and time, you can still find out your Rashi by consulting with an astrologer. They can tell you what your Rashi is based on your name and provide insights into your future.
