Balaji Naam Rashi (नाम राशि)
This is the naam rashi — read from the name's first syllable. ब has no nakshatra syllable of its own, so by convention it is read as व. It is not the same as the janma rashi, which comes from where the Moon actually was at birth. They agree only when the name was chosen from the birth star.
