Nāmakaraṇa
A shortlist of three names — for a child, a company, or a pen name — each chosen against the nakṣatra and lagna of the person or venture, with the syllable, the meaning, and the reasoning written out.
三個備選名字——依月宿與上升選定，附音節、含義與選擇的理由。給孩子、給公司、給一個新的署名。
- Three candidate names, written out
- Syllable, meaning & reasoning for each
- First syllable matched to the nakṣatra
- One round of refinement — included
What you'll receive.
Not a list of twenty names from a generator. Three, each one argued — so when you choose, you know exactly why this name and not another.
The written deliverable · the work itself
Not a generated list — each option is argued in detail in the report, so you can see the reasoning, not just the result.
The working chart sheet · the data
The chart(s) the work was read from — degrees, nakṣatras, the daśā context — so the reasoning can be checked.
One round of refinement · included
Sit with the options, reply with questions or constraints we missed, and we adjust once — included in the price.
Four steps, held by hand.
No portal, no app. After payment you answer a short intake form; everything after arrives by email, written by a person who has read your chart.
You tell us · who is being named
A child, a company, a pen name. Birth details of the person (or founding moment of the venture), the family name it must sit beside, sounds you love or can't use.
We cast · the chart decides the syllable
The nakṣatra and pāda give the auspicious first syllable; the lagna and its lord tell us what the name should do for this chart — steady it, warm it, open it.
Three names · each one written out
For each: the syllable and its source in the chart, the meaning in its language, how it sounds beside the family name, and what it quietly asks of its carrier.
You choose · one refinement included
Sit with the three. If anything about the sound, a homophone or the spelling gives you pause, reply and we refine once. The final choice is always yours.
Three cards, one keeper.
A representative example — the names below are mocked. Yours are chosen from the actual nakṣatra and lagna of the person or venture being named.
Quiet words, from neighbouring readings.
Historical reader notes from Tara's work before this commerce site. Some names are initials or first names only for privacy.
What Tara wrote about my mother was the answer I'd waited thirty years to hear.
I printed the report and keep it by my bed — every few months I reread it and find something new.
More precise than any tarot or counselling session I've had. She didn't flatter me, and she didn't frighten me.
Questions, answered
What do I need to prepare before ordering?
Nothing. After payment you'll get a short form, about five minutes, for your birth date, time and place (both people's for a synastry reading) and the questions you'd like the reading to lean into.
I don't know my exact birth time. Can I still order?
Yes, with the time rectification add-on. Tara only works from birth times accurate to within five minutes, so if yours isn't from a birth certificate or hospital record, rectification is required: Tara uses dated events from your life to find the time your chart fits, then begins the reading.
How long does it take, and how is it delivered?
Readings arrive as a PDF by email, usually within 7–14 days of receiving your completed form. The expedited add-on brings that to three working days. A printed book is posted after the PDF.
Which language is the reading written in?
English or Chinese, Traditional or Simplified. You choose in the form after payment.
Is there a printed copy?
The Life Blueprint includes a hardcover book, posted worldwide at no extra cost.
Can I ask questions after reading it?
Yes. Every reading includes one follow-up email: within 7 days of receiving your reading, you can ask anything about your chart.
Why is my sign different from Western astrology?
Jyotish uses the sidereal zodiac, aligned with the constellations. It sits about 24° from the tropical zodiac of Western astrology, so your Sun sign often moves back one sign. What is Jyotish →
Is a reading a prediction?
No. It's guidance drawn from your chart: patterns, timing and possibilities. It doesn't decide outcomes for you, and it isn't medical, legal or financial advice.
Can I get a refund?
Each reading is written for you alone, so we don't offer refunds for change of mind. If something goes wrong on our side, we'll put it right. Refund policy →
A name is said ten thousand times.
Order, and the intake form will ask who (or what) is being named, the birth moment, and the names already in the family. Three candidates follow within 7–14 days.
