Hindu Deities

Shiva

Destruction and renewal, meditation, the dance

In the Hindu Deities table used by the Who Watches Over You calculator, Shiva answers to the number 1: the day of the month you were born, reduced to a single digit.

Born under Shiva

Shiva sits in meditation and dances the world to its end and its beginning. You carry the power to clear what is finished and the stillness to know when. Others see your intensity; underneath it is a calm that nothing can move.

About the Hindu Deities gods

The Navagraha, the nine planets of Indian astrology, each have a presiding deity. The Hindu table follows that link: Shiva with the Sun, Parvati with the Moon, Vishnu with Jupiter, Durga with Rahu, Krishna with Mercury, Lakshmi with Venus, Ganesha with Ketu, Hanuman with Saturn and Kartikeya with Mars.

The same number in other traditions

In the Vedic table the number 1 belongs to Lord Surya, through Sun.

Frequently Asked Questions About Numerology

How is Shiva linked to the number 1?
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 Shiva holds 1 in the Hindu Deities table.
Is this a traditional Hindu Deities 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.
