Start with your Life Path, then open Moolank and Bhagyank, the Lo Shu grid, your name number and the suggested spellings.
What happens behind the scenes
Two systems, clearly labelled
Life Path, Destiny, Soul Urge and Personality use the Pythagorean system (A to I = 1 to 9). The name number and spellings use the Chaldean system of Cheiro, which Indian numerologists prefer for names.
How numbers are reduced
Each part is added digit by digit until a single number remains, except the master numbers 11, 22 and 33, which are kept. Each name is reduced on its own before the parts are added.
Moolank, Bhagyank and Lo Shu
Moolank comes from your birth day, Bhagyank from the whole date. The Lo Shu grid places every digit of your birth date in a 3×3 square to show which numbers you have and which are missing.
Name suggestions
Small spelling changes are tested and kept only if the new total suits your Moolank and Bhagyank and avoids Cheiro’s warning compound numbers.
Reading your results and tips
Reading your results
- Your Life Path is the main number: your path and lessons. Moolank describes how you act day to day; Bhagyank, what life tends to bring.
- In the Lo Shu grid, repeated numbers are strengths and missing ones are qualities to build.
- A spelling change is optional: use it where you sign your name, not on official documents.
Tips
- Check the numbers for a business or baby name before you decide.
- Your mobile number total is worth checking before choosing a new number.
Words to know
- Life Path numberYour Life Path number is the main number in Western numerology, found by reducing your full date of birth to a single digit or a master number (11, 22 or 33). It describes the broad direction and lessons of your life.
- Moolank (root number)Moolank, the root or driver number, is the day of the month you were born on, reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9. In Indian numerology it describes your basic nature and is linked with one of the nine planets.
- Bhagyank (destiny number)Bhagyank, the destiny or conductor number, is the sum of every digit of your full date of birth, reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9. In Indian numerology it shows the direction your life tends to take and how opportunities arrive.
- Lo Shu gridThe Lo Shu grid is a 3×3 magic square, 4-9-2 / 3-5-7 / 8-1-6, in which every row, column and diagonal adds up to 15. In numerology the digits of your birth date are placed in it to show strong, repeated and missing numbers.
- Chaldean numerologyChaldean numerology gives each letter a value from 1 to 8 based on its sound, leaving 9 unassigned. Popularised by Cheiro, it is the method most Indian numerologists use for name numbers and name correction.
- Master numbers (11, 22, 33)Master numbers are 11, 22 and 33, the double-digit totals that Western numerology does not reduce. They are read as carrying extra potential and extra pressure, along with the qualities of their root numbers 2, 4 and 6.
