Numerology

Mulank, Bhagyank & Namank — the three core numbers

Mulank (birth / psychic number) is derived from the day you were born and reveals your core personality and instincts. Bhagyank (destiny / life-path number) comes from your full date of birth and reveals your life purpose and destiny. Namank (name / expression number) comes from the letters of your name and shows how the world receives you — and it is the one number you can consciously adjust.

Because each number is ruled by a planet (1–Sun, 2–Moon, 3–Jupiter, 4–Rahu, 5–Mercury, 6–Venus, 7–Ketu, 8–Saturn, 9–Mars), numerology and your Kundli tell one connected story. On this site, every number links to its ruling graha, and number compatibility is derived from the classical planetary friendships — not an arbitrary table.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Mulank and Bhagyank?

Your Mulank (birth number / psychic number) comes from just the day you were born, reduced to a single digit 1–9, and it governs your personality and daily nature. Your Bhagyank (destiny number / life-path number) comes from your full date of birth (day + month + year) and governs your life purpose and destiny. Most people have two different numbers.

What is the difference between Chaldean and Pythagorean numerology?

Chaldean numerology is the older system (used in Vedic/Indian Ank Jyotish), assigning letters values 1–8 based on vibration (never 9, which was sacred). Pythagorean (Western) numerology assigns letters values 1–9 in simple alphabetical sequence. Chaldean is considered more accurate for name analysis; Pythagorean is simpler and more common in the West.

Which planet rules each numerology number?

In Vedic numerology each number is ruled by a planet: 1–Sun, 2–Moon, 3–Jupiter, 4–Rahu, 5–Mercury, 6–Venus, 7–Ketu, 8–Saturn, 9–Mars. This is why numerology and astrology are connected — your numbers carry the energy of their ruling grahas.

How do I calculate my numerology number by date of birth?

For your Mulank, add the digits of your birth day and reduce to one digit (e.g. 29 → 2+9 = 11 → 1+1 = 2). For your Bhagyank, add every digit of your full date of birth and reduce the same way. Use the free calculator above to do it instantly.
