Number 7 in Numerology (ruled by Ketu)
In Indian numerology the root number 7 is ruled by Ketu and stands for introspection, spirituality, research and intuition. Your birth (Moolank) number is found by reducing your day of birth to a single digit, and your destiny (Bhagyank) number by reducing your full date of birth. If you were born on the 7th, 16th or 25th, you have 7 as your birth number.

Birth number and destiny number
The birth number describes your natural temperament, while the destiny number, calculated from the full date, describes the direction of life and the lessons it brings. When both are 7, the qualities of Ketu are especially strong. Name numbers, calculated from the letters of your name, are used to bring the vibration of your name into harmony with these two numbers.
Birth number, destiny number and name number
Indian numerology uses three main numbers. The birth (psychic) number is the day of birth reduced to one digit. The destiny (life path) number is the full date of birth reduced to one digit. The name number comes from the letters of your name, usually by the Chaldean system. Each number is linked to a planet, which is how numerology connects to astrology.
