Mulank (मूलांक): your root number
In Indian numerology (ank jyotish), your mulank (moolank, root number) is the single-digit root of the day you were born. A planet rules it, and it points to your core nature. Work out yours below, then read what numbers 1 to 9 mean.

How to calculate your mulank
Take the day of the month you were born and add the digits together until you reach a single digit from 1 to 9. The month and year do not change your mulank.
- ·Born on the 7th: mulank is 7.
- ·Born on the 23rd: 2 + 3 = 5.
- ·Born on the 28th: 2 + 8 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1.
Your mulank shows your nature. Your bhagyank (destiny number), from your full date of birth, shows your life path. Both sit inside a bigger picture that a full birth chart fills in.
Your mulank comes from the day you were born.
