What is Mulank (मूलांक)?
Mulank — also written as moolank— is your root number in Vedic numerology (अंक ज्योतिष). It is derived from the single digit of your birth day alone. Born on the 14th? Your Mulank is 5 (1 + 4). Born on the 23rd? Also 5. Unlike Western numerology's Life Path number, which uses your full date of birth, Mulank is calculated only from the day.
What makes the Vedic system distinct is the planetary connection. Each of the nine Mulanks is governed by a ruling graha: Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Guru (Jupiter), Rahu, Budha (Mercury), Shukra (Venus), Ketu, Shani (Saturn) and Mangal (Mars). This planetary ruler shapes your personality, natural strengths, recurring karmic patterns — and the type of seva (service) that restores your dharmic balance.
Knowing your Mulank is the first step in Vedic numerology. It reveals the graha energy you were born under and points to practical remedies: gemstones, mantras, charitable giving and pilgrimage aligned with your ruling planet.
How to Calculate Your Mulank
Take only the dayof your birth date and reduce it to a single digit by adding its digits repeatedly until you reach 1–9. Examples: born on the 7th → Mulank 7. Born on the 19th → 1 + 9 = 10 → 1 + 0 = Mulank 1. Use the calculator below or click on your number directly.

Frequently asked questions
What are the 9 mulanks?+−
The 9 mulanks (मूलांक) are the nine birth numbers in Vedic numerology, each ruled by a planet: Mulank 1 — Surya (Sun), Mulank 2 — Chandra (Moon), Mulank 3 — Guru (Jupiter), Mulank 4 — Rahu, Mulank 5 — Budha (Mercury), Mulank 6 — Shukra (Venus), Mulank 7 — Ketu, Mulank 8 — Shani (Saturn), and Mulank 9 — Mangal (Mars). Your mulank is determined by the day of the month you were born — single-digit days are already your mulank; multi-digit days are reduced by adding their digits.
What is Mulank (मूलांक) in Vedic numerology?+−
Mulank (मूलांक), also called moolank, is your root number in Vedic numerology. It is calculated from the single digit of your birth date and is governed by a ruling planet (graha). The nine Mulanks map to Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Guru (Jupiter), Rahu, Budha (Mercury), Shukra (Venus), Ketu, Shani (Saturn) and Mangal (Mars). Each planet shapes your personality, natural strengths, recurring challenges and the type of seva that restores balance.
How do I calculate my Mulank?+−
To calculate your Mulank, take only the day of your birth date and reduce it to a single digit by adding its digits. For example: born on the 14th → 1 + 4 = 5, so Mulank is 5. Born on the 29th → 2 + 9 = 11 → 1 + 1 = 2, so Mulank is 2. Single-digit birth days (1–9) are already your Mulank.
What is the difference between Mulank and Bhagyank?+−
Mulank (birth number) is calculated only from the day of your birth. Bhagyank (destiny number or life path number) is calculated from your full date of birth — day, month and year — all added and reduced to a single digit. Mulank reveals your innate nature and ruling planet; Bhagyank shows your life's broader purpose and direction.
Which planet rules each Mulank?+−
The ruling planets for each Mulank are: Mulank 1 — Sun (Surya), Mulank 2 — Moon (Chandra), Mulank 3 — Jupiter (Guru), Mulank 4 — Rahu, Mulank 5 — Mercury (Budha), Mulank 6 — Venus (Shukra), Mulank 7 — Ketu, Mulank 8 — Saturn (Shani), Mulank 9 — Mars (Mangal).
Is Mulank the same as the Western Life Path number?+−
No. The main difference is that Mulank uses only the birth day, while the Western Life Path number uses the full date of birth. More importantly, Vedic Mulank connects each number to a specific ruling planet (graha), which brings in the framework of Vedic astrology — including planetary remedies, gemstones, dasha periods and seva practices — making it a distinctly different system.
