Vedic Numerology
Vedic numerology is an Indian system that ties each number 1 through 9 to one of the nine planets recognized in Vedic astrology, blending numerology with that astrological tradition. Its core numbers are the psychic number, taken from the day of birth, and the destiny number, taken from the full birth date, which are read together with a name number for a complete picture.
