I also explained why you should not display your full name on your nameplate and why it is always good to display your family name or a specific house name instead. But never display your full name on your nameplate.
Why? The reason I have explained in this forecast.
Many times, especially in India, I have seen that nameplates are displayed on the main door. Never display your nameplate on your main door.
So where exactly should you display your nameplate?
By implementing these guidelines that I have explained here, you will definitely see positive developments happening in your life.
The Main Door — The Mouth of the House
The main door is not just wood and hinges — it is the mouth of the house.
It is the space where people, opportunities, blessings, and yes, energies enter.
What you display here sets the tone for everything that comes in. When you announce your full personal name to the street, you don’t just mark an address — you expose your aura, your identity, your frequency, your family schedule, everything.
In today’s world of curiosity, envy, and surveillance, that’s a needless vulnerability.
I always advise:
- Show the house or flat number with your family name, or
- Use a dignified house name
But do not display your complete personal name. That way it’s elegant, protective, and energetically cleaner.
Astrological Reason — Rahu and Shani
Now let me reveal the reason directly connected with Rahu and Shani (Saturn).
- Rahu is the enemy of Shani.
- Rahu is against all that is ethical, moral, and safe.
- Shani is all for ethical, moral, and safe.
- Rahu thrives on overexposure — it loves noise, attention, and leakage of personal data.
A full name outside on your nameplate is a ready-made anchor for a malevolent glance (drishti), nazar, and gossip.
Shani (Saturn) prefers restraint and structure.
A simple flat number, for example:
702 Mahita (flat number + family name)
Or a house name such as Guruka or Ashirvad, signals order without oversharing.
Restraint is protection — always remember this.
When you keep the plate minimal, you reduce hooks by which others can “catch” you — meaning unnecessary attention, evil eye, buri nazar.
When to Avoid Full Name Display
You should definitely avoid displaying your full name if you are going through:
- Rahu Mahadasha
- Ketu Mahadasha
- Shani Mahadasha
- Sade Sati
- Dhaiya
- Difficult Rahu transits through your 8th, 4th, or 10th house
Vastu Reason — Never on the Main Door
The name plate should never be displayed on your main door. Instead, display it on the wall beside your main door.
Privacy is smart Vastu.
Vastu aims to stabilize prana (life force) at the entrance. Boundaries and minimal identifiers reduce energetic disturbance at the threshold.
Important point many people ignore:
- The nameplate should be fixed on the right-hand wall next to the main door when you stand outside facing your entrance.
- The main door is the direct channel for energy inflow. Drilling into it to fix heavy plates or metal can disturb the door’s vibrational field and create subtle imbalance in the energy flow.
- When the door swings open, a plate fixed on it moves constantly — symbolically shaking the stability of the household’s identity and fortune.
Placing the nameplate on the right side wall keeps the door energetically unburdened while still identifying the residence for guests. The right side is considered the side of auspicious welcome in Vastu.
Occult Reason — Protection from Evil Eye
When it comes to evil eye, buri nazar, and black magic, the nameplate matters. People project jealousy and unresolved pain.
A bold full name outside becomes a fixed focal point for projection. In occult terms, it’s like leaving the gate half open.
A neutral identifier — your apartment number plus your family name or house name — diffuses attention.
Example:
604 Tamhankar + a sacred seal or symbol such as Om, Ganesha, or Swastik (in correct cultural form).
Avoid clutter or too many yantras — one quiet symbol is greater than ten loud ones.
Choosing a House Name
If you want a house name instead of a family name, let it carry positive vibrations:
- Anugraha
- Shraddha
- Guruka
- Ashirvad
Fonts, Material & Colors
- Fonts: Proper, easy-to-read, not overly stylish
- Material: Metal, acrylic, or stone — never wood
- Colors: Black with warm gold, or white with warm gold — keep contrast high for readability
- Language: Only one language — full English, full Hindi, or one full local language. Do not mix.
What a Minimal Name Plate Communicates
A minimal, correctly placed nameplate says:
- This house is anchored, not anxious for attention
- Visitors feel order before they ring the bell
- Strangers learn nothing personal about you — only your last name
Your name belongs in your work — not as a billboard at your threshold.
Keep the entrance sacred, simple, and strong. Let the nameplate say just enough to guide the right people in, and nothing more to invite the wrong energies.
Restraint is beauty.
Restraint is protection.
In Vastu and in life — restraint is power.
Lord Saturn represents this quality of restraint.
Don’t show the public your personal name — you never know who is against you or who can go against you. Time changes, people change. Nothing is constant except change.
Friends become enemies, enemies become friends. You never know who will be with you or against you.
So display only:
- Your apartment number and last family name, or
- Your apartment/house number followed by a poetic, joyous, positive name for your house
I hope this helped you, and I’m sure once you implement this change you will see positive developments in your life.
Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
