The Tāksā wheel: what each of the 8 houses means

Updated 2026-07-21

Thaksa-Pakorn is an eight-position wheel. The birth day rotates it, placing different consonant groups in different houses. Houses 1–7 are auspicious to varying degrees; house 8 is the kalakini to avoid.

The 8-house Tāksā wheel

Pick your baby's birth day and watch which letter group lands in each house — the birth day 'rotates' the letters into place. The กาลกิณี house (red) is the group to avoid in a name.

What each house governs

Boriwan — those around you and followers · Ayu — health & longevity · Decha — power & honour · Si — glory & wealth · Mula — foundation & assets · Utsaha — diligence · Montri — mentors & support · Kalakini — what to avoid.

The three most prized houses are Decha, Si and Montri. A name whose letters lean into these is said to especially reinforce power, honour, wealth, and support.

Where a name's 'class' comes from

When we analyze a name, we count which houses its letters fall into and see which it leans on most. That house sets the name's 'class' — a name heavy in the Si house earns Sovereign, while a name balanced across two houses earns a hybrid class.

This is what each name's detail page visualises — a 7-axis Tāksā radar with the class and a kalakini meter.

Frequently asked questions

How is Tāksā different from numerology?
Tāksā depends on the birth day and reads which house each letter falls in; numerology assigns each letter a number and sums them, independent of birth day. They're separate systems used together.
Does a longer name get a better class?
No — we use proportional weights, not raw letter counts, so short and long names compare fairly. The class comes from the distribution, not the length.
