What does mulank mean?
Mulank (मूलांक) is the root number of your birth day. Numerologists treat it as the signature of your personality: how you start things, how you react under pressure, and what kind of work suits you. It is read alongside the bhagyank, which comes from the whole date of birth and describes the path rather than the person.

How is mulank different from lagna or rashi?
Rashi and lagna come from your exact birth time and the Moon's position, which needs proper ephemeris data. Mulank needs only the day, so it is arithmetic, but it describes character, not planetary positions. The rashi and lagna tools are coming to KismatAstro shortly.
Frequently asked questions
What is mulank in numerology?
Mulank is the root number of your day of birth, reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9. For example, someone born on the 27th has mulank 9, because 2 + 7 = 9. It is considered the quickest read of a person's basic nature.
How is mulank calculated?
Take only the day of your birth and add its digits until one digit remains. Born on the 4th → 4. Born on the 17th → 1 + 7 = 8. Born on the 29th → 2 + 9 = 11 → 1 + 1 = 2.
What is the difference between mulank and bhagyank?
Mulank comes from the birth day alone and describes your personality. Bhagyank comes from the full date of birth and describes the direction your life takes. Most numerologists read both together.
Which planet rules each mulank?
1 is ruled by the Sun, 2 by the Moon, 3 by Jupiter, 4 by Rahu, 5 by Mercury, 6 by Venus, 7 by Ketu, 8 by Saturn and 9 by Mars.
Does mulank decide my luck?
No. It describes tendencies, not fate. Use it as reflection, and never in place of professional medical, legal or financial advice.
