What is numerology?
Numerology (Ank Jyotish in Hindi) studies the symbolic meaning of numbers derived from your date of birth and name. Indian numerology links each number from 1 to 9 with one of the nine grahas of Vedic astrology.
Your core numbers
- Radical number (Moolank, psychic number): the day of the month you were born, reduced to one digit. Someone born on the 29th has 2 + 9 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2.
- Destiny number (Bhagyank): all the digits of your full date of birth added and reduced to one digit.
- Name number: the letters of your name converted to numbers and added up.
