How Numerology Works
Numerology works by reducing your date of birth and name into single-digit numbers. Different numbers tell different stories about your:
- Strengths and talents
- Weaknesses and repeating patterns
- Emotional nature and behaviour
- Love and marriage compatibility
- Career direction and money flow
- Leadership ability and public image
- Spiritual growth and inner calling
This is why numerology is widely used in India for choosing lucky names, improving relationships, deciding career paths, selecting lucky dates for events, and supporting personal growth.
Numerology by Date of Birth (Mulank + Bhagyank)
Your date of birth gives two major numbers that define your personality and destiny path: Mulank (Birth Number) and Bhagyank (Destiny Number).
✔ Mulank (Birth Number)
Mulank = Day of birth.
Example:
14 → 1 + 4 = 5
Mulank shows your natural behaviour, emotional nature, and how you react in daily life.
Quick Meaning of Each Mulank (1–9)
- 1: Leader, confident, independent
- 2: Emotional, calm, supportive
- 3: Creative, expressive, joyful
- 4: Practical, disciplined, stable
- 5: Freedom-loving, adventurous
- 6: Caring, family-oriented, responsible
- 7: Spiritual, analytical, private
- 8: Ambitious, powerful, money-focused
- 9: Emotional, giving, humanitarian
✔ Bhagyank (Destiny Number)
Bhagyank = Total of your full date of birth (day + month + year).
Example:
14/03/1990 → 1+4+0+3+1+9+9+0 = 27 → 9
Bhagyank reveals your life direction, long-term purpose, and the kind of karmic path you are meant to walk.
Quick Destiny Meanings
- 1: Leadership, innovation, success
- 2: Diplomacy, partnership
- 3: Creativity, communication
- 4: Hard work, discipline

Frequently Asked Questions About Numerology
Find answers to the most commonly asked questions about numerology, life path numbers, name correction, and how numerology works in daily life.
What is the difference between Mulank and Bhagyank? ▼
Mulank (Birth Number) comes from the day you are born. It shows your natural personality, behaviour, strengths, and how you react to life. Bhagyank (Destiny Number) comes from your full date of birth and shows your life direction, long-term purpose, and what destiny wants you to achieve. Mulank tells "Who you are inside", while Bhagyank tells "What you are meant to become".
How to calculate Life Path Number? ▼
To calculate your Life Path Number, add all digits of your full date of birth (day, month, year) until you get a single digit. For example, if you are born on 14/03/1990: 1+4+0+3+1+9+9+0 = 27 → 2+7 = 9. Your Life Path Number is 9. If the result is 11, 22, or 33, don't reduce further—these are Master Numbers with special significance.
Which is better: Chaldean or Pythagorean numerology? ▼
Both systems have value. In India, Chaldean numerology is preferred for name correction because it is based on sound vibrations and matches Indian phonetics better (like Sh, Dh, Th, Kr). Pythagorean numerology is excellent for understanding personality and calculating Life Path Numbers. The best approach is a combination: use Pythagorean for date-of-birth analysis and Chaldean for name balancing.
How to correct name spelling for success? ▼
Name correction is done by calculating the total Chaldean number of your full name and adjusting the spelling so that the vibration supports your Life Path or Destiny Number. Even a small change—like adding an extra "A", "H", or "K"—can shift energy. In India, many celebrities and entrepreneurs use name correction to improve luck, confidence, career growth, and public image. A corrected name reduces obstacles and aligns your personality with your goals.
Can numerology change my destiny? ▼
Numerology cannot change your full destiny, but it can guide you to make better choices. Think of it like a map—it shows your strengths, challenges, and the smartest path to follow. By using name correction, lucky colours, gemstones, and better timing, you can reduce obstacles and improve success in career, relationships, and money. Numerology gives awareness, direction, and clarity so you can live your best possible life.
Is 13 an unlucky number in numerology? ▼
Number 13 is not unlucky in numerology. It reduces to 4 (1+3), which is the number of discipline, planning, and practicality. In Western culture, 13 is linked with superstition because of old myths, but numerology sees it very differently. For many Indians, 13 brings transformation, new beginnings, and strong foundation energy. People born on 13 often learn important lessons early in life and later become very successful through hard work.
What does seeing 11:11 mean? ▼
Seeing 11:11 again and again is called an "angel number". It means the universe is sending you a message of alignment and new beginnings. Number 11 is a Master Number connected with intuition, manifestation, and spiritual awakening. When you see 11:11, it is a reminder to stay positive, trust your inner voice, and make a wish or set an intention.
How to check marriage compatibility in numerology? ▼
Marriage compatibility is checked by comparing Mulank (Birth Number), Bhagyank (Destiny Number), Life Path Number, and Name Numerology vibration of both partners. A good match shows harmony, similar values, and emotional balance. Numerology does not decide if a marriage will fail—it simply shows how two people can understand each other better and work through challenges.
Which business name is lucky according to numerology? ▼
A lucky business name has a positive Chaldean total and matches your Mulank or Bhagyank. Names with totals like 23, 32, 41, 42, and 46 are commonly used for success, stability, and money flow in India. A good business name attracts clients, builds trust, and removes growth blocks. Always consult a professional numerologist for personalised business name guidance.
What are Master Numbers 11, 22, and 33? ▼
Master Numbers (11, 22, 33) are special double-digit numbers that are not reduced to single digits. They carry heightened spiritual energy and greater potential. Master Number 11 is "The Intuitive" (spiritual awareness), 22 is "The Master Builder" (large-scale creation), and 33 is "The Master Teacher" (highest compassion and service). People with Master Numbers have extraordinary potential but also face greater challenges.
Is numerology scientifically proven? ▼
Numerology is not a science in the modern Western sense—it is an ancient metaphysical system based on the belief that numbers carry vibrational energy. While there is no laboratory proof, numerology has been practised for over 4,000 years across civilisations including Babylon, Egypt, Greece, and India. Millions of people worldwide use it for personal growth, decision-making, name correction, and career guidance with positive results.
How is numerology different from astrology? ▼
Numerology uses numbers from your date of birth and name to reveal personality and destiny, while astrology uses the position of planets and stars at the time of birth. Both systems share connections—each number in numerology corresponds to a ruling planet. Many Indian practitioners use both together for deeper insights. Numerology is simpler to learn and apply, while astrology provides more detailed cosmic analysis.
