| Born on | Mulank | Fit with 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 19, 28 | 1 (Sun) | Excellent |
| 2, 11, 20, 29 | 2 (Moon) | Good |
| 3, 12, 21, 30 | 3 (Jupiter) | Excellent |
| 4, 13, 22, 31 | 4 (Rahu) | Average |
| 5, 14, 23 | 5 (Mercury) | Challenging |
| 6, 15, 24 | 6 (Venus) | Challenging |

| 8, 17, 26 | 8 (Saturn) | Average |

Aditya in astrology: rashi and nakshatra
Families who follow the naam akshar choose a name that starts with the syllable of the baby’s birth nakshatra. Aditya starts with अ (A), the syllable of Krittika pada 1, which falls in Mesha rashi (Aries), ruled by Mars.
So Aditya is a traditional fit for a boy born when the Moon was in Krittika pada 1, and many families also accept it for any Mesha rashi baby.
