What is an astrological name change?
A name is your personal identity, and in astrology it is believed to be connected with your destiny. An astrological name change, often called name correction, adjusts a name or its spelling so that it sits better with your birth chart.
The practice has grown in popularity as more people have reportedly changed their names and seen positive results. The aim is not to discard your identity, but to bring the name you use into line with your chart.
Does your zodiac sign determine a lucky name?
In astrology, each zodiac sign is associated with specific letters that correspond to the stars and planetary alignment at the time of birth. Identifying the letters linked to your chart is the starting point for an astrologically suitable name.
Astrology is often compared to gravity: you cannot always see it, yet you work with it throughout your life. When a name is not ideal astrologically, people often change only its spelling rather than the whole name, so that it makes a stronger impression.
Well-known people who changed their names
Many actors and public figures adopt a new name before their debut, believing it will improve their chances in their chosen career. A. R. Rahman, Mallika Sherawat, Dilip Kumar and Akshay Kumar are widely reported to have changed their names before or during their rise to fame.
Their reasons were personal and varied, and their success also rests on talent and hard work. These examples simply show how seriously many people take the choice of a name.
Why seek guidance before changing your name
Several astrological and numerological methods exist for changing a name. Choosing a name after a proper astrological consultation means the change is based on your own chart rather than on general lists of lucky letters.
People who change their names without guidance may still find themselves dealing with unresolved personal disputes or unstable finances.
