Numerology compatibility · modern applicationअंक मिलान
A love calculator by date of birth compares two people's numerology numbers: each mulank and bhagyank, and each name number if you add names. Every pair is read through the graha friendship table, and this numerology compatibility calculator turns those relations into a score out of 100, showing exactly which relation earned which points.

Two dates of birth. Names are optional; nothing is stored.
Every number is worked out in front of you, and the score shows exactly which relation earned which points.
Two dates of birth and, if you like, two names. The arithmetic takes a moment.
The day gives each mulank; the whole date gives each bhagyank.
The names each person uses. One name alone is not compared.
Every relation with its reason, then the points that make the score.
Matching a couple by numerology is a modern application. No classical Jyotish text compares two people by mulank, bhagyank or name number; the classical match is the koota system, which compares the two Moons and needs birth times and places. What is old here is the material: the Indian mapping of numbers 1 to 9 to the nine grahas, their natural friendships, and the Chaldean letter values, which are Babylonian, not Indian. We say this plainly because most love calculators do not.
Each person's mulank is the day of birth reduced to one digit; the bhagyank is every digit of the full date added and reduced. With both names, each name is added by Chaldean letter values and reduced the same way. One name alone is not compared.
Like is compared with like: mulank with mulank, bhagyank with bhagyank, name number with name number. Each pair earns the Graha Maitri points of its two ruling grahas, from 0 to 5.
The score is each pair's points times its weight, divided by 5, added up: 50 and 50 for the two dates alone, or 40, 40 and 20 with both names. Nothing else enters it, and every term is printed.
Numbers are reduced by adding their digits until one digit between 1 and 9 remains. We reduce all the way down: 38 becomes 11, and 11 becomes 2. Some numerologists stop at the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 and read them as they are. We show those steps in the working so you can see where a master number appeared if you follow that school.
Whether two numbers are read as friendly, neutral or contrary is decided by the grahas that rule them, using the natural friendship table of Jyotish, the same table Graha Maitri is scored from in kundali matching. That table is direction-sensitive, so both directions are read and combined. It covers the seven classical grahas only; Rahu and Ketu, which rule 4 and 7, are placed by the modern convention rather than by a classical rule, and we flag that rather than hide it.
Nothing on this page is a prediction. It reports what the tradition reads into a number; what to do with that is your judgement, not an arithmetic result.
Every total on this page reduces to a single digit, and ank jyotish gives each digit to one of the nine grahas. The same table reads your own mulank and bhagyank.
The six pairings searched for most, each read through its ruling grahas. The same reasoning covers every pair in the chart below.
Sun rules 1 and Mars rules 9. Sun counts Mars a friend, and Mars counts Sun a friend, which the Graha Maitri table scores 5 of 5. The pairing is read as friendly: two numbers whose rulers support each other.
1 is read as the partner who leads: decisive, visible, happiest setting the direction, and slow to take it from someone else. 9 is read as the forceful partner: energetic, protective, direct, and quick to argue.
Jupiter rules 3 and Rahu rules 4. Jupiter counts Rahu neutral, and Rahu counts Jupiter neutral, which the Graha Maitri table scores 3 of 5. The pairing is read as neutral: neither ruler works for the other or against it.
3 is read as the counsellor: generous with advice and explanation, and apt to take the role of guide in the pair. 4 is read as the unconventional partner: independent in outlook, drawn to the unusual, and prone to sudden changes of plan.
Jupiter rules 3 and Ketu rules 7. Jupiter counts Ketu neutral, and Ketu counts Jupiter neutral, which the Graha Maitri table scores 3 of 5. The pairing is read as neutral: neither ruler works for the other or against it.
3 is read as the counsellor: generous with advice and explanation, and apt to take the role of guide in the pair. 7 is read as the private partner: reflective, inward, and in need of time alone that the other may not share.
Rahu rules 4 and Venus rules 6. Rahu counts Venus a friend, and Venus counts Rahu a friend, which the Graha Maitri table scores 5 of 5. The pairing is read as friendly: two numbers whose rulers support each other.
4 is read as the unconventional partner: independent in outlook, drawn to the unusual, and prone to sudden changes of plan. 6 is read as the homemaker in Shukra's sense: warm, fond of comfort and beauty, and invested in a settled household.
Jupiter rules 3 and Venus rules 6. Jupiter counts Venus an enemy, and Venus counts Jupiter neutral, which the Graha Maitri table scores 0.5 of 5. The pairing is read as contrary: the rulers pull in different directions, which the tradition treats as friction to be aware of rather than a verdict.
3 is read as the counsellor: generous with advice and explanation, and apt to take the role of guide in the pair. 6 is read as the homemaker in Shukra's sense: warm, fond of comfort and beauty, and invested in a settled household.
Rahu rules 4 and Ketu rules 7. Rahu counts Ketu neutral, and Ketu counts Rahu neutral, which the Graha Maitri table scores 3 of 5. The pairing is read as neutral: neither ruler works for the other or against it.
4 is read as the unconventional partner: independent in outlook, drawn to the unusual, and prone to sudden changes of plan. 7 is read as the private partner: reflective, inward, and in need of time alone that the other may not share.
Every pair of numbers from 1 to 9, read through the graha friendship table with its Graha Maitri points out of 5. Find the first number, then read across to the second.
Friendly means 4 or 5 points, neutral 3, contrary 1 or less; the same number counts 5. Rahu (4) and Ketu (7) are not in the classical friendship table, so their relations follow the modern convention, and the chart says so rather than hide it.
How the number is worked out, what the tradition reads into it, and where each part of the method comes from.
It works out three numbers for each person and compares them in pairs. The mulank is the day of birth reduced to one digit, so someone born on the 19th has 1+9 = 10, then 1+0 = 1. The bhagyank is every digit of the full date added and reduced. With names, the name number adds the Chaldean value of every letter. Each number is ruled by a graha in ank jyotish (1 Sun, 2 Moon, 3 Jupiter, 4 Rahu, 5 Mercury, 6 Venus, 7 Ketu, 8 Saturn, 9 Mars), and each pair is read through the natural friendship of its two rulers. The calculator prints every step, so the whole reading can be checked by hand.
Numerology compatibility is the practice of reading two people's numbers against each other, on the idea that numbers ruled by friendly grahas describe temperaments that sit easily together. The numbers themselves come from two traditions. The mapping of 1 to 9 onto the nine grahas and their friendships is Indian, from ank jyotish, and the letter values used for names are Chaldean, a Western esoteric system named for Babylon. Applying either to a couple is a modern application: no classical text matches two people by their birth-day number. A numerology love calculator describes temperament in the tradition's terms. It is not a forecast of how a relationship goes.
Take each date of birth, reduce the day to get the mulank and the whole date to get the bhagyank, then compare like with like. A pair of numbers earns the Graha Maitri points of its two ruling grahas, the same points kundali matching uses: 5 when the rulers are friends both ways or the numbers are the same, 4 for friend and neutral, 3 for neutral both ways, 1 for friend and enemy, 0.5 for neutral and enemy, 0 for enemies both ways. Here, each pair's points are multiplied by its weight and divided by 5. With dates alone, mulank and bhagyank weigh 50 each; with both names they weigh 40 each and the name numbers 20. The total is the score.
Find the first person's number, then read across to the second. The chart on this page gives every pair from 1 and 1 to 9 and 9 a word and a number: friendly for 4 or 5 Graha Maitri points, neutral for 3, contrary for 1 or less. The same number twice counts as full agreement. The chart is symmetric, so 7 and 3 read exactly as 3 and 7. Use it for any of the numbers: two mulanks, two bhagyanks, or two name numbers. Rahu and Ketu, which rule 4 and 7, are absent from the classical friendship table, so their rows follow the modern convention, and the chart flags that.
By the friendship table, 1, 2, 3 and 9 form one friendly group, ruled by the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Mars, and 4, 5, 6 and 8 form another, ruled by Rahu, Mercury, Venus and Saturn. 7, ruled by Ketu, reads as friendly with 6, 8 and 9. Pairs across the two groups tend to read neutral or contrary: 3 and 6, for example, score 0.5 of 5 because Jupiter and Venus are not friends. None of this makes one number better than another. Each digit carries a character, and the pairing describes how the tradition sees two characters together, nothing more. There is no evidence that matching numbers changes how a relationship goes.
Friendly, and fully so: 1 is ruled by the Sun and 9 by Mars, and each counts the other a friend, which earns 5 of 5 Graha Maitri points. The tradition reads the pair as two assertive numbers that respect each other, with the caution that both like to lead. The other pairs people ask about read differently. 3 and 4, 7 and 3 and 4 and 7 are neutral at 3 points; 4 and 6 is friendly at 5, because Rahu and Venus are counted friends; and 3 and 6 is contrary at 0.5. Each has a card above the chart with its reasoning.
No, and no honest reading of the tradition says it can. Numerology compatibility for marriage reads three numbers per person against a table of planetary friendships; it knows nothing about either person beyond their date of birth and their name. The classical Vedic way to match a couple is Kundli Milan, the ashtakoota system, which compares the two Moons by nakshatra and sign across eight kootas worth 36 points, and which needs birth times and places. Graha Maitri, the friendship score this page borrows, is one of those eight kootas. Use this calculator as a reading of numbers, and the matching report for the traditional match.
Yes. Numerology compatibility by date of birth uses the mulank and bhagyank, which are fixed at birth and cannot change. Numerology compatibility by name uses the Chaldean total of the name each person goes by, which does change: a married surname, a nickname or a new spelling gives a different number. That is why this calculator weighs the name numbers at 20 of 100 and the birth-date numbers at 40 each, and why it compares names only when both are given. The Chaldean letter values are a Western esoteric system, named for Babylon, and are not part of ank jyotish. Try the names you actually use, and compare.
Short answers about the method, the arithmetic and what the result does and does not say.
The quickest answer is the calculation itself. It takes a few seconds.
Check our compatibilityThe arithmetic is exact and every step is printed, so the numbers can be checked by hand. What the numbers mean is a different question. The reading reports how a table of planetary friendships sees two sets of numbers, and there is no evidence that such a table predicts how two people get on. Treat the score as a description in the tradition's terms, not a measurement of a relationship.
You can read two people's numbers with it, and many people do before a marriage. As a marriage numerology compatibility calculator it compares mulank, bhagyank and name numbers only. The traditional Vedic match for marriage is Kundli Milan, which uses both birth charts, scores eight kootas out of 36 and checks for Mangal dosha. Numerology is a modern addition to that, not a replacement for it.
Numerology uses the date only, so birth time changes nothing on this page. Two people born on the same day have the same mulank and bhagyank whatever the hour. Birth time matters in the horoscope match, where it fixes the Moon's nakshatra and the ascendant. For a match that uses time and place, Kundli Milan is the calculator to use.
Numerology compatibility by name adds the Chaldean value of every letter in each person's name, reduces each total to one digit, and reads the two digits through their ruling grahas. Enter both names to include it; the name pair then carries 20 of the 100 points. The Chaldean values are a Western esoteric system, not Indian, and a different spelling gives a different number.
Use the name each person actually goes by in daily life, as they spell it today. Practitioners differ on whether to use the full birth name, and a married surname or a nickname changes the total, so the honest approach is to try both and read them as two different names. The birth-date numbers stay the same either way and carry 80 of the 100 points.
Yes, by the friendship table 1 and 9 is one of the most harmonious pairings. The Sun rules 1 and Mars rules 9, and each counts the other a friend, which earns the full 5 of 5 Graha Maitri points. The tradition reads two assertive numbers that respect each other, with the caution that both prefer to lead. A reading of numbers, not a forecast.
By the friendship table, 3 and 6 is a contrary pairing, scoring 0.5 of 5. Jupiter rules 3 and Venus rules 6; Jupiter counts Venus an enemy and Venus counts Jupiter neutral. The tradition reads two teachers with different lessons: counsel against comfort. Contrary is a description of friction in the tradition's terms, not a judgement on two people.
No. Kundli Milan is the classical Vedic match: it compares the two Moons by nakshatra and sign across eight kootas and needs birth times and places. Love numerology compatibility compares numbers derived from dates and names. The two share one piece, the natural friendship of the grahas, which Kundli Milan scores as Graha Maitri and this page borrows for its points.
Save each birth once. Every calculator then opens already worked out for you, your parents, your partner and your children.
