About the Roman Mythology gods
Rome gave the planets the names we still use, and a god to each. The Roman table follows that sky: Sol and Luna for the lights, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Mars for the wandering stars, with Caelus for the heavens and Neptune for the deep.

Frequently Asked Questions About Numerology
- How is Mercury linked to the number 5?
- Through the psychic number of Vedic numerology: the day of the month you were born, reduced to one digit. Each pantheon on this site assigns one god to each number from 1 to 9, and Mercury holds 5 in the Roman Mythology table.
- Is this a traditional Roman Mythology belief?
- No. The gods and their domains are traditional; pairing them with birth numbers is a modern numerological reading, and it is presented here as reflection rather than doctrine.
- What if my life path is different from my birth day number?
- They are two different numbers. This page follows the day of the month; the life path uses your whole date of birth and has its own pages under Numbers.
