From Sun to Mars: The Planetary Power Behind Your Number
Have you ever wondered why you feel compelled to be a leader, be creative or manage things very well? Maybe the answer is found in the stars—actually in the sky.
In Numerology each number is assigned to a planet and the traits of each number are linked to that planet such as the Sun, Moon or Mars. Just as the Moon affects the ocean tides, these planets have an effect on our minds and behaviours. The vibe of each number is influenced by the ruling planet that controls it.
It is important to first identify your Psychic Number which represents your inner self, before we explain what your number means.
How to Find Your Psychic Number
Your Psychic Number (also called your Birth Number) is based only on the day you were born — not the month or year.
How to calculate:
-
Take the date you were born and reduce it to a single digit.
-
If your birth date is already a single-digit number (1–9), that’s your Psychic Number.
-
If it’s double-digit (10–31), add the digits together until you get a single number.
Examples:
● Born on 17th → 1 + 7 = 8
● Born on 20th → 2 + 0 = 2
● Born on 31st → 3 + 1 = 4
● Born on 5th → Psychic Number is 5

Find out the planet that governs your number, the qualities it gives you and how you can use these to your advantage — all through this numerology method.
Number 1 – Ruled by the Sun
People born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, or 28th are ruled by the Sun (Number 1). Number 1 people are spirited, full of life and very bright. In general, they are good leaders and enjoy coming up with new ideas. Being in charge and attracting attention come easily to them. Yet, some of them are so proud or stubborn that they truly like to hear a lot of praise. They achieve success when they focus on meaningful goals, motivate others and have a positive reason to lead.
Number 2 – Ruled by the Moon
Number 2 people are emotional, gentle and caring. They pay close attention to other people and wish for peace and harmony around them. This number is ruled by the Moon and includes those born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, or 29th. They have a caring nature and regularly help people bond with one another. Sometimes, they are very sensitive and are not always aware of what to do. They are at their best when they assist others, make things equal and form loving bonds.
Number 3 – Ruled by Jupiter
If you are number 3, you are energetic, original and packed with amazing ideas. Your ruling planet, Jupiter, helps you express yourself through your communication, writings and artwork skills. You easily inspire others and appreciate sharing what you know. Another thing is, you might find it difficult to control your thoughts and you might make big pledges that you sometimes fail to keep. Being a teacher, artist or inspirer makes you the happiest. If you were born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st, or 30th, your ruling planet is Jupiter, making you a true Number 3 personality.
Number 4 – Ruled by Rahu
People born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, or 31st are ruled by Rahu (Number 4). Number 4 people are organised; they like following routines and are practical. They are thoughtful and tend to make unique decisions in life. Thanks to Rahu, they are strong-willed and determined, but their lives may present challenges. At certain times, they can resist the idea of change and feel restless inside. They do their best when they focus on their work or come up with unique ideas as they think out of the box.
Number 5 – Ruled by Mercury
Number 5 people find it easy to make quick decisions, are talkative and enjoy new adventures. This number is ruled by Mercury and includes those born on the 5th, 14th, or 23rd. As a result of Mercury, you are curious and comfortable connecting with others. You always look for new information, meet other people and enjoy different things. Sometimes, things move too fast for you or you are bored quickly. You are very happy when you travel, share your thoughts or try new adventures.
Number 6 – Ruled by Venus
Number 6 individuals are happy and peaceful and appreciate beautiful things. Venus encourages them to have a loving heart toward others and to help others enjoy being comfortable. They usually select well when it comes to fashion, art or furnishing. However, they could place themselves in danger by always looking after others or by trusting them too much. Making others happy, beautifying their home or being kind brings them the most joy. If you were born on the 6th, 15th, or 24th, your ruling planet is Venus, making you a true Number 6 personality.
Number 7 – Ruled by Ketu
People born on the 7th, 16th, or 25th are ruled by Ketu (Number 7). If 7 is your number, you are psychically sensitive and can think deeply about many matters. Ketu makes you more reasonable and pondering in life. You’re curious about many things and often prefer to be alone with your thoughts. Others might not know what you’re thinking, but you recognise things others don’t see. You will do well if you meditate, learn deeply or try to find more meaning in what you study.
Number 8 – Ruled by Saturn
Number 8 people have strong wills, want things to be serious and are always focused on their goals. This number is ruled by Saturn and includes those born on the 8th, 17th, or 26th. Saturn helps them remain concentrated and tackle problems. Often, they have to handle major challenges and become stronger and wiser as a result. They may get carried away by their ideas, but they always seek fairness. They excel by putting in effort, creating lasting results or advising others with what they know.
Number 9 – Ruled by Mars
Number 9 represents being brave, passionate and lively. Mars encourages you to be strong and want to help people. It’s not uncommon for you to support the right cause and be very kind-hearted. Sometimes, you might feel emotions so strongly that you act on them swiftly. When you act with kindness, protect others and take action on a worthy cause, you are doing your best. If you were born on the 9th, 18th, or 27th, your ruling planet is Mars, making you a true Number 9 personality.
Your Planet, Your Power
Every number comes with the energy of a planet and that energy affects your personality, strengths and weaknesses. Gaining knowledge about your ruling planet gives you a better sense of self. The cosmic path assigned to you is reflected in the confidence of your Sun or the wisdom of your Ketu. If you ever feel a powerful emotion or start moving in a certain way, consider that the universe may be helping you.
