Born under Nabu

Nabu holds the stylus that writes the fates on the tablets of destiny. You think in words and systems, learn fast, and leave records behind you. Your mind is your tool and your trade; your task is to use it on something that matters.

About the Babylonian Gods gods

Babylon inherited the Sumerian sky and gave it Akkadian names, and the planets their gods: Shamash, Sin, Marduk, Nabu, Ishtar, Ninurta and Nergal are the planetary deities of the cuneiform tablets, with Anu for the sky and Ea for the waters beneath it. The number pairing follows the planet each number answers to.

The same number in other traditions

In the Vedic table the number 5 belongs to Lord Vishnu, through Mercury.

Frequently Asked Questions About Numerology

How is Nabu 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 Nabu holds 5 in the Babylonian Gods table.
Is this a traditional Babylonian Gods 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.
