Sun (Surya)
Who you are
Number 1 is ruled by the Sun, and like the Sun it wants to stand at the centre and be seen. People with Mulank 1 are direct, self-starting and uncomfortable taking orders for long.

Moon (Chandra)
Who you are

Jupiter (Guru)
Who you are

Rahu
Who you are
Rahu rules 4, and Rahu does not follow the usual road. You see what others miss, question what everyone accepts, and often find your living in something new.

Mercury (Budh)
Who you are
Mercury rules 5, the most adaptable number. You pick up skills quickly, talk your way into opportunities, and get bored faster than you admit.

Venus (Shukra)
Who you are

Ketu
Who you are
Ketu rules 7, and Ketu detaches. You go deeper than the people around you, dislike small talk, and need solitude the way others need company.

Saturn (Shani)
Who you are
Saturn rules 8 and Saturn never gives anything free — but what it gives, it does not take back. You work harder than most for the same step, and hold it longer.

Mars (Mangal)
Who you are
Mars rules 9. You are direct, brave and physically energetic, and you would rather act wrongly than sit still.

Shared by both children
Why twins are the hardest chart parents bring
A parent of twins asks the fairest question in numerology: if both children were born on the same date, within minutes of each other, why does one settle early and the other struggle, and why does one take to study while the other takes to trade?

How the grid is built and what it says about character
The Lo Shu square is arranged 4-9-2 on the top row, 3-5-7 in the middle and 8-1-6 at the bottom. Every row, column and diagonal adds up to 15, which is why the square has been treated as a picture of balance for centuries.

How an everyday number is read
A mobile number is read by adding all its digits and reducing the total to a single number from 1 to 9, while keeping the compound total in view. A car or house number is read the same way; any letters in it are converted to numbers with the Chaldean table (A, J, S = 1; B, K, T = 2; and so on).

Both partners' planets
What each partner brings: character
Numerology compatibility starts with three numbers for each partner: the Driver (Mulank, from the birth day), the Conductor (Bhagyank, from the full date) and the name number. Each number carries the nature of its planet, so the pair of numbers shows how two temperaments meet.

Changes every year
How the Personal Year is worked out
Your Personal Year number is the digit sum of your birth day, your birth month and the year you are looking at, reduced to a single number. The Personal Month adds the calendar month to it, and the Personal Day adds the calendar day to that.

Changes with each life stage
What pyramid numerology is
Pyramid numerology is a name used for two related ways of reading a date of birth. The first is the Pinnacles and Challenges method: your life is divided into four stages, and each stage carries a Pinnacle (the opportunity of that period) and a Challenge (the lesson that runs alongside it). Drawn one above the other, the four stages look like a pyramid.

Depends on your Kua number
What your Kua number says about you
In common Vastu–numerology teaching (the Eight Mansions method), everyone belongs to an East group (Kua 1, 3, 4, 9) or a West group (Kua 2, 6, 7, 8). Your group decides which four directions support you.

The ruler of each Hora
Hora in one sentence

The ruler of each Hora
How to read this guide
Each planet 'rules' its Horas. Tradition links each planet with certain kinds of work; the lists below are general guidance, not fixed rules. Pending review: these meanings are drawn from common Vedic practice and still await review by NumberHealer's numerologist.

The ruler of each Hora
Step 1: open today's table for your city
Open the Hora timing page, type your city and pick the date. Always use the city where the task happens — a video call from Pune uses Pune's sunrise, not the other person's.

Depends on your Bhagyank
What Bhagyank means
Bhagyank (भाग्यांक) means the number of fortune or destiny. It is made from your complete date of birth: day, month and year together. In Western books the same number is called the Life Path number.

Depends on your Driver and Conductor
What is the Driver number in numerology?
The Driver number is your birth day reduced to one digit. Someone born on the 23rd has Driver 2 + 3 = 5. It is the same number Indian numerology calls Mulank, and it is read as your nature: how you think, react and drive yourself every day.

What is Chaldean numerology?
Chaldean numerology is a system that gives each letter of the alphabet a number and adds the letters of your name to find your name number. It is named after the ancient Chaldeans of Babylon. In India it is the most widely used system for name numerology and name correction, and it is the system NumberHealer's name calculator uses.

Depends on your Talent number
Why a watch is read through numbers
A watch is worn on the body every day, so in remedy-based numerology it is treated like a small, daily remedy. The idea is simple: choose a watch whose metal and colour are linked to the planet of your own number.

Colour and day come from the same planet
The dial colour and the starting day use the same lucky colours and lucky day that NumberHealer already gives for each number. Find your Talent number from your full date of birth first.

Depends on the number total
Why your mobile number matters in numerology
In numerology every number carries the energy of a planet. Your mobile number is a number you use, share and hear every day, so it is read as a small but constant influence on your work, money and relationships.

Depends on the name number
Why the owner's numbers come first
In NumberHealer's method a business name is not 'lucky' or 'unlucky' by itself. It is checked against the person who runs the business: their Destiny number (from the full date of birth) and their Talent number (from the name).
