Both are in use. Neither is the one true method, so the useful thing is to know which one you are using, and to use it for every plate you compare. This site's default is digits only, and it shows the working so you can follow either route. ## Digits only This is the common convention for registration plates. You ignore the letters and add the digits. Plate MH12AB1222. The digits are 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2. 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1. The total is 1. The reasons for this default are practical. Letters on a plate are the RTO's series code, not a choice the buyer made. The number you pay a premium for is the digits. And it is quick to do by hand while standing at a counter. ## Letters too Some practitioners convert each letter to a number and add those to the digits. There are two common letter tables. **Pythagorean** counts the alphabet in order, wrapping after 9: A, J, S are 1; B, K, T are 2; C, L, U are 3; D, M, V are 4; E, N, W are 5; F, O, X are 6; G, P, Y are 7; H, Q, Z are 8; I, R are 9. **Chaldean** is the older table used widely in Indian numerology. It does not use 9 for any letter and groups sounds rather than alphabet order, so letters such as F, O and P take different values. On MH12AB1222 with the Pythagorean table: M is 4, H is 8, A is 1, B is 2. The letters give 4 + 8 + 1 + 2 = 15. Add the digit sum of 10 and you get 25, then 2 + 5 = 7. The total is 7, not 1. So the same plate is a 1 on digits only and a 7 with letters. For a mulank 1 owner, that is the difference between a friend (total 1) and a neutral (total 7). For a mulank 8 owner, it is the difference between a clash (total 1) and a friend (total 7). ## Where the two give the same answer They agree only by chance, about one time in nine. A plate whose letters add to a multiple of 9 under your chosen table does not shift the total. Otherwise the answer moves, sometimes by a lot. That is why mixing conventions is the main mistake. Scoring one plate on digits and another with letters tells you nothing, because the totals are on different scales. ## Which should you use A short rule of thumb: - **Booking a fancy number:** digits only. You are choosing digits, and the letters are not yours to choose. - **Checking a plate you already have:** digits only first. If you like, add the letters as a second reading. - **Following a specific numerologist:** use theirs, and ask which letter table they use. Chaldean and Pythagorean disagree. If you are unsure, stay with digits only. It is the simplest, the most widely used for plates, and the one that the [mulank pages](/mulank-1) and [plate total pages](/plate-total-1) on this site use for their example plates. ## What the toggle does The [calculator](/) has a letters toggle. With it off, you get the digits-only total. With it on, the letters are converted using the stated table, and the working shows each letter, its value and the combined sum. You see both totals and which one scored against your mulank, so nothing is hidden. ## Other things that change the total - **Spaces and dashes** do not count. MH 12 AB 1222 and MH12AB1222 are the same. - **The state code digits count.** A plate like DL3CAB1259 starts with 3 as a district digit; include it. Leave out the digits you cannot see on the plate. - **A zero adds nothing.** It does not change the total but it is still a digit on the plate. - **Old and new formats** do not matter. The method is the same for any number of digits. ## Putting it together 1. Choose a convention: digits only unless you have a reason not to. 2. Add up every plate you are comparing the same way. 3. Reduce to one digit from 1 to 9. 4. Compare to your mulank using the [friendship table](/guides/which-number-is-lucky-for-a-car). For the full method, read [how to choose a car number as per numerology](/guides/how-to-choose-a-car-number-as-per-numerology). When you are ready to reserve a number, see [how to book a fancy number online on Parivahan](/guides/how-to-book-a-fancy-number-online-on-parivahan). --- # How to book a fancy number online on Parivahan URL: https://luckyvehiclenumber.com/guides/how-to-book-a-fancy-number-online-on-parivahan Updated: 2026-10-27 # How to book a fancy number online on Parivahan Most Indian states let you reserve a choice or "fancy" registration number online instead of taking the next one in sequence. The national portal is Parivahan (parivahan.gov.in), but the exact screens, fees and auction rules differ by state. This guide describes the usual path and, more usefully, how to decide on your shortlist before you pay anything. Check the live portal and your state transport department's notice for current fees. Nothing below is a quote. ## Before you open the portal Fancy-number booking is a time-limited step. Once a number is held, a clock starts, so do the thinking first. 1. **Work out your mulank.** Take your day of birth and reduce it to one digit. Born on the 26th: 2 + 6 = 8, mulank 8. 2. **Decide the convention.** Digits only is the common default; see [digits only or letters too](/guides/digits-only-or-letters-too-plate-total-convention). 3. **Prepare three to five candidates.** Many people lose a first choice to another bidder or find it unavailable. 4. **Score each one.** Add the plate digits and reduce. For a series like MH 12 AB, the series letters come from the RTO and are not yours to pick, so the four-digit number is what you choose. If the state code and district number are fixed, add those digits too. For example, MH12 followed by the number 1222 gives digits 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, which sum to 10, then 1. Against mulank 8 that is a clash. Against mulank 1 it is a friend. The [calculator](/) shows the trail for any plate. ## The usual online route The wording changes between states, but the path is generally: 1. Go to the Parivahan portal and open the online services menu for vehicle-related services. 2. Choose your state, then your RTO or the office where the vehicle will be registered. 3. Look for the fancy or choice number service, sometimes listed under registration or "number allotment". Some states run it on their own portal and link to it from Parivahan. 4. Sign in with your mobile number or the details of your vehicle application. 5. Search the numbers available for the upcoming series, or enter the number you want. 6. If the number is open for direct reservation, you pay the fee shown and receive a confirmation. If more than one person wants it, many states run a short online auction instead. 7. Keep the receipt and reservation reference. Bring them, or upload them, when you complete registration. ## Fees and auctions States group numbers into tiers. The sequence you would get anyway costs the standard registration fee. A popular number such as 0001, 0007 or a repeated digit pattern may carry a premium, a reserve price in an auction, or both. Fancy fees vary widely from one state to another, from modest to several lakh rupees for the best numbers. Two practical points: - **The hold is temporary.** If you do not pay or complete registration in the window set by your state, the number goes back to the pool. - **A reservation belongs to the application.** In most states it is tied to one vehicle and cannot be sold or moved to another owner on its own. Check your state's rule before bidding. ## Using the numerology check without wasting a slot A good order of work is: 1. Pull a list of candidates from the portal. 2. Score each on digits only. Sort into friend, neutral or clash against your mulank. 3. Drop clashes. 4. Among friends, take the plate that matches your own number first, then the one that is also easy to read and say aloud. 5. Only then reserve. The scoring is quick. If your mulank is 5, almost every total is acceptable, since 5 has no clashes. See [mulank 5](/mulank-5). If you are a mulank 8 or 4, the friend list is short, so check [mulank 8](/mulank-8) or [mulank 4](/mulank-4) before you choose. ## If the number is already gone Numbers disappear. A neighbouring number can have a different total, and sometimes a better one, so rescore. Sorting by total across your shortlist, rather than by closeness to your first choice, saves several rounds. You can also run the same check after delivery. If a dealer has already allotted the number, scoring it is information only; the registration is not affected. For the general method see [how to choose a car number as per numerology](/guides/how-to-choose-a-car-number-as-per-numerology), and for which totals are friendlier overall see [which number is lucky for a car](/guides/which-number-is-lucky-for-a-car). ## A note on what this is The friendship table is a traditional convention, drawn from the Cheiro and Sepharial lineage. It is a number game, not a prediction, and the portal does not know or care about it. The steps above only tell you how to get the number you decided on. --- # How to choose a car number as per numerology URL: https://luckyvehiclenumber.com/guides/how-to-choose-a-car-number-as-per-numerology Updated: 2026-10-27 # How to choose a car number as per numerology Choosing a car number by numerology is a small piece of arithmetic. You need two numbers: your own, called the mulank, and the plate's total. Then you look up whether the two get along in the traditional friendship table. This guide walks through the steps with the working shown, so you can check any plate yourself or let the [calculator](/) do it. It is a number game with a long tradition behind it, not advice about safety, money or luck on the road. Use it the way you would use a horoscope column: for fun, and as a tiebreaker. ## Step 1: Find your mulank Your mulank (birth number, also called the psychic number) comes from the day of the month you were born, reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9. - Born on the 7th: mulank 7. - Born on the 14th: 1 + 4 = 5, so mulank 5. - Born on the 29th: 2 + 9 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2, so mulank 2. Only the day counts here. The month and year are not used for the mulank. If you were born on the 9th, 18th or 27th, your mulank is 9 in every case. The planet attached to each number matters for the table in step 3: 1 Sun, 2 Moon, 3 Jupiter, 4 Rahu, 5 Mercury, 6 Venus, 7 Ketu, 8 Saturn, 9 Mars. Each number has its own page, for example [mulank 1](/mulank-1) or [mulank 8](/mulank-8). ## Step 2: Add up the plate Take the digits of the registration number and add them. By the common convention, letters are ignored and so is a leading zero, which adds nothing anyway. Keep adding until one digit is left. Take the plate MH12AB1222. The digits are 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2. 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1. The plate total is 1. Another: DL8SST1222. The digits are 8, 1, 2, 2, 2, which sum to 15, then 1 + 5 = 6. The plate total is 6. Some people also count the letters using a letter-value table. That changes the answer, which is why the convention matters; see [digits only or letters too](/guides/digits-only-or-letters-too-plate-total-convention). Whichever you use, use it for every plate you compare. ## Step 3: Read the friendship table Each mulank has friends, neutrals and enemies among the other numbers. The table this site uses is the traditional one from the Cheiro and Sepharial lineage. A few rows: - Mulank 1: friends 1, 2, 3, 5, 9; neutral 4, 6, 7; clash with 8. - Mulank 5: friends 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9; neutral 7, 8; no clashes. - Mulank 8: friends 6, 7, 8; neutral 5, 9; clash with 1, 2, 3, 4. So a mulank 1 owner with the plate MH12AB1222 (total 1) has a friend match. A mulank 8 owner with the same plate has a clash. You can read what each plate total is said to stand for on its own page, such as [plate total 1](/plate-total-1) or [plate total 6](/plate-total-6). ## Step 4: Compare two or three plates At the RTO fancy-number stage you usually have a short list, not a free choice. Work out the total for each and sort them into friend, neutral or clash. 1. Drop every clash. 2. Among friends, prefer the one that is also your own number. A mulank 6 owner on a total-6 plate is the cleanest match. 3. If only neutrals remain, pick on other grounds: price, how easy the number is to remember, whether the last digits look tidy. If you drive a car that already has a plate, you can run the same check after delivery. The answer will not change the registration, so treat it as information only. ## Common slips - **Stopping at two digits.** A sum of 10 or 19 is not a total yet. Keep reducing until one digit from 1 to 9 is left. - **Using the wrong day.** The mulank is the day of birth, not the full date. The full date gives a different number, the destiny number or bhagyank, which is a separate calculation. - **Mixing conventions.** If one plate is scored on digits only and another with letters, the comparison means nothing. - **Treating a 9 or 0 digit oddly.** A 9 adds as 9. A 0 adds nothing. A plate of 0009 totals 9. ## Where the numbers come from The friendship table is a convention, not a measurement. Different books draw the lines slightly differently, especially for 4 and 8. This site follows one stated table so results are repeatable, and each result page shows its trail so you can disagree with it knowingly. For the number most buyers ask about first, see [which number is lucky for a car](/guides/which-number-is-lucky-for-a-car). For fancy-number booking, see [how to book a fancy number online on Parivahan](/guides/how-to-book-a-fancy-number-online-on-parivahan). --- # Is 8 lucky for a car (and why people avoid 4) URL: https://luckyvehiclenumber.com/guides/is-8-lucky-for-a-car-and-why-people-avoid-4 Updated: 2026-10-27 # Is 8 lucky for a car (and why people avoid 4) Ask ten people in an RTO queue and you will hear that 8 is a heavy number and 4 is a bad one. Indian numerology does say something like that, but the full answer depends on whose birth number is doing the reading. This guide gives the table, the reasoning attached to each number, and a way to test any plate. It is a number game, not advice. A plate has no effect on how a car behaves. ## First, which 8 and which 4 There are two places a number shows up: the plate total and your own mulank. The plate total is the sum of the plate's digits reduced to 1 to 9. Your mulank is your day of birth reduced the same way. A plate such as MH20AA1185 has digits 2, 0, 1, 1, 8, 5. They sum to 17, then 1 + 7 = 8. The plate has a total of 8, even though the digit 8 appears only once. And a plate with no 8 or 4 can still total 8 or 4: KA03JK1333 has digits 0, 3, 1, 3, 3, 3, which sum to 13, then 4. So "avoid 4" is not the same as "avoid the digit 4". The convention looks at the total. ## The case for and against 8 8 belongs to Saturn in this system. Saturn is the planet of discipline, delay and hard work. People who like the number say it rewards patience. People who avoid it say it brings slow going. The friendship table puts it plainly: - **Plate total 8 is a friend to:** mulanks 6, 7 and 8. - **Neutral to:** mulanks 5 and 9. - **A clash for:** mulanks 1, 2, 3 and 4. That is a narrow set of friends. If you are mulank 1, 2, 3 or 4 you would normally skip a total of 8. If you are 6, 7 or 8, it is a good plate. See [plate total 8](/plate-total-8) for the example plates, and [mulank 8](/mulank-8) if you are an 8 yourself. Note the odd one: 8 clashes with the Sun number, 1, from the other side too. A mulank 1 owner scores an 8 plate as a clash, and a mulank 8 owner scores a total of 1 as a clash. The table is symmetric here. ## The case against 4 4 belongs to Rahu, the shadow planet. Rahu is tied to the irregular, the unexpected and the unconventional, and that reputation is why many buyers avoid 4 even when the table would allow it. By the table: - **Plate total 4 is a friend to:** mulanks 4, 5, 6 and 7. - **Neutral to:** mulanks 1 and 3. - **A clash for:** mulanks 2, 8 and 9. So 4 is not universally bad in the table. It suits four mulanks and is tolerable for two more. The general dislike comes from the Rahu association, not the arithmetic. See [plate total 4](/plate-total-4) for detail. ## A separate superstition about the digit 4 In China, Japan and Korea, 4 is avoided because the word for it sounds like the word for death. That tradition is not part of Indian numerology, but it travels with the same advice, and the two get mixed up in conversation. If someone tells you to avoid 4 for that reason, it is a different rule from the friendship table. ## How to test a plate yourself 1. Add the plate's digits, ignoring letters. 2. Reduce to one digit. 3. Find your mulank: day of birth, reduced. 4. Look up the pair in the table. Example: you were born on the 10th, so mulank 1. The plate GJ01BB2518 has digits 0, 1, 2, 5, 1, 8, summing to 17, then 8. Total 8 against mulank 1 is a clash. Try the neighbouring plate GJ05CD2481, with digits 0, 5, 2, 4, 8, 1 summing to 20, then 2. Total 2 against mulank 1 is a friend. The [calculator](/) runs this for any plate and shows the trail. ## If you are stuck with an 8 or a 4 If you already own the plate, treat the result as information. Practitioners who take the table seriously sometimes suggest choosing a vehicle colour or a different number for the next purchase. This site does not make claims about remedies. If you are still at the booking stage, the usual move is to drop clashes and choose between friends. [How to book a fancy number online on Parivahan](/guides/how-to-book-a-fancy-number-online-on-parivahan) covers the process. For the general method, read [how to choose a car number as per numerology](/guides/how-to-choose-a-car-number-as-per-numerology). Remember that the letters on the plate may change the total under a letters-included convention. See [digits only or letters too](/guides/digits-only-or-letters-too-plate-total-convention). --- # Lucky number for a bike or scooter URL: https://luckyvehiclenumber.com/guides/lucky-number-for-a-bike-or-scooter Updated: 2026-10-27 # Lucky number for a bike or scooter The numerology rules for a two-wheeler are the same as for a car. The plate total is worked out the same way, and it is compared with the same birth number, your mulank. What changes is the buying situation: bikes and scooters are often bought sooner, with less ceremony, and the choice of number is usually smaller. This guide covers the sum, the table and some shortcuts for when you have only a moment. It is a number game, not advice. The plate has no effect on how the vehicle rides. ## The sum 1. Take the digits of the registration number. Ignore the letters, by the usual convention. 2. Add them and reduce to one digit from 1 to 9. 3. Take your day of birth and reduce it the same way. That is your mulank. 4. Look up the pair in the friendship table. Example: a scooter with plate KL07WX1296. The digits are 0, 7, 1, 2, 9, 6. They sum to 25, then 2 + 5 = 7. The plate total is 7. If you were born on the 16th, your mulank is 1 + 6 = 7. A total of 7 against mulank 7 is a friend. Born on the 12th instead: mulank 3. A total of 7 against 3 is neutral. ## Which totals suit which mulank From the traditional table, the plate totals that are friends, by mulank: - Mulank 1: 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 - Mulank 2: 1, 2, 3, 5 - Mulank 3: 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 - Mulank 4: 4, 5, 6, 7 - Mulank 5: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 - Mulank 6: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 - Mulank 7: 4, 6, 7, 8 - Mulank 8: 6, 7, 8 - Mulank 9: 1, 3, 5, 9 If you want just one number to aim for, the total equal to your own mulank is the clean match, except for 4 and 8 where the table has some quirks. Each mulank has its own page, for example [mulank 6](/mulank-6) and [mulank 9](/mulank-9). ## Two-wheeler specifics **You may not get to pick.** Many dealers register a bike at the next number in the series, and a choice number is an extra step with an extra fee. If you want a particular total, ask at booking, not at delivery. [How to book a fancy number online on Parivahan](/guides/how-to-book-a-fancy-number-online-on-parivahan) describes the portal route, which applies to two-wheelers in most states too. **Fees are usually lower.** Fancy-number fees for two-wheelers are generally lower than for cars in the same state, though this varies. Check the state's current schedule. **The number is on the vehicle, not the person.** A plate belongs to the registered vehicle. A bike bought for a family member is scored against the registered owner's birth date, if you follow that approach, or against yours if you are the main rider. The tradition is not consistent here. Pick one rule and tell your family which. **Shorter series, shorter checks.** Two-wheeler plates have the same format as cars. The method does not change, but older plates can have fewer digits. A plate such as DL8SST1222 has digits 8, 1, 2, 2, 2 and a total of 6, even though the state code part is short. ## A one-minute shortlist method You are at the dealer and have two or three number options. 1. Say your mulank out loud. If you are unsure, add the digits of your birth day. 2. Add each option. For 1222, the digits sum to 7, then the series digits add on top. 3. Cross out any total that clashes with your mulank. 4. Of what is left, keep the one equal to your mulank. If none matches, keep a friend. For mulank 5 this barely matters, since 5 has no clashes. For mulanks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 the clash list is long enough to be worth checking. See the [calculator](/) to run it on a phone in seconds. ## What about a bike that is already registered You can score it after the fact. The result will not change anything formal. If the total clashes, there is no single recommended step; people differ. Some shrug, and some choose a different total when they buy the next vehicle. ## Further reading - The general method: [how to choose a car number as per numerology](/guides/how-to-choose-a-car-number-as-per-numerology). - The full table of friends and clashes: [which number is lucky for a car](/guides/which-number-is-lucky-for-a-car). - Why 4 and 8 get a bad name: [is 8 lucky for a car](/guides/is-8-lucky-for-a-car-and-why-people-avoid-4). - Letters on the plate: [digits only or letters too](/guides/digits-only-or-letters-too-plate-total-convention). --- # Which number is lucky for a car URL: https://luckyvehiclenumber.com/guides/which-number-is-lucky-for-a-car Updated: 2026-10-27 # Which number is lucky for a car There is no number that is lucky for everyone. In numerology the question has a narrower answer: which plate totals are friendly to your own birth number, your mulank. A total of 5 suits almost everyone. A total of 8 suits only a few. This guide lays out the full picture so you can see where your number sits. None of this is advice about safety or money. It is a number game with a traditional rule set, and the rules are shown in full below. ## What "lucky" means here A plate has a total from 1 to 9, got by adding its digits and reducing the sum. For example KA01XY2259 has digits 0, 1, 2, 2, 5, 9, which sum to 19, then 1 + 9 = 10, then 1. The total is 1. A plate is called lucky for you when its total is a friend of your mulank in the traditional table. The planet of each number does the explaining: 1 Sun, 2 Moon, 3 Jupiter, 4 Rahu, 5 Mercury, 6 Venus, 7 Ketu, 8 Saturn, 9 Mars. To find your mulank, take your day of birth and reduce it to one digit. Born on the 23rd: 2 + 3 = 5. ## The table in full Read each row as: if your mulank is this, these plate totals are friends, neutral or clashes. - **Mulank 1 (Sun):** friends 1, 2, 3, 5, 9. Neutral 4, 6, 7. Clash 8. - **Mulank 2 (Moon):** friends 1, 2, 3, 5. Neutral 6, 7, 9. Clash 4, 8. - **Mulank 3 (Jupiter):** friends 1, 2, 3, 5, 9. Neutral 4, 7. Clash 6, 8. - **Mulank 4 (Rahu):** friends 4, 5, 6, 7. Neutral 1, 3. Clash 2, 8, 9. - **Mulank 5 (Mercury):** friends 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9. Neutral 7, 8. No clashes. - **Mulank 6 (Venus):** friends 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Neutral 1, 2, 9. Clash 3. - **Mulank 7 (Ketu):** friends 4, 6, 7, 8. Neutral 1, 2, 3, 5, 9. No clashes. - **Mulank 8 (Saturn):** friends 6, 7, 8. Neutral 5, 9. Clash 1, 2, 3, 4. - **Mulank 9 (Mars):** friends 1, 3, 5, 9. Neutral 2, 6, 7, 8. Clash 4. This is the table the site uses, from the traditional Cheiro and Sepharial lineage. Other authors differ on a few cells. ## What the table tells you **The most forgiving plate total is 5.** It is a friend to seven mulanks and neutral to the other two (7 and 8). Mercury is the planet of trade and speed, and a total of 5 is the usual answer when someone says "just give me a safe one." See [plate total 5](/plate-total-5). **Totals 1, 3 and 9 suit the sunny group.** Mulanks 1, 3 and 9 share each other as friends, so a plate total of 1, 3 or 9 works for all three. **Total 6 and total 7 suit the quieter group.** Mulanks 4, 6 and 7 treat each other as friends. A total of 6 is the Venus number, associated with comfort and appearance. See [plate total 6](/plate-total-6) and [plate total 7](/plate-total-7). **Total 8 is the narrow one.** It suits only mulanks 6, 7 and 8, and clashes with 1, 2, 3 and 4. See [is 8 lucky for a car](/guides/is-8-lucky-for-a-car-and-why-people-avoid-4) for the full discussion, including 4. ## A quick way to shortlist 1. Work out your mulank. 2. Find your row above and note the friends. 3. At the RTO fancy-number stage, add up each candidate plate and keep only those whose total is a friend. 4. Among the survivors, prefer the plate total that equals your own mulank. Worked example: you were born on the 18th, so 1 + 8 = 9, mulank 9. Your friends are 1, 3, 5, 9. The plate DL1CDD2222 has digits 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, which sum to 9, a total of 9. That is the same number as yours, so it is the cleanest match. The plate MH20AA1185 has digits 2, 0, 1, 1, 8, 5, which sum to 17, then 1 + 7 = 8. A total of 8 is only neutral to mulank 9, so it is acceptable but weaker. ## Two cautions **The letters.** Plates carry letters, and some people convert them to numbers and add those too. The totals then change. Pick one convention before you compare; the [digits-or-letters guide](/guides/digits-only-or-letters-too-plate-total-convention) explains both. **Group numbers.** Some practitioners also check the total before it is reduced, such as the 19 in the first example. This site does not score that step, so a plate can read differently elsewhere. Run the sum for your own plate and birth day in the [calculator](/), or read your mulank page, for example [mulank 5](/mulank-5), to see its friend list and example plates. --- # About this site URL: https://luckyvehiclenumber.com/about Lucky Vehicle Number checks a registration plate against the owner's birth number. It is for people picking a number at the RTO fancy-number stage, or checking the one that came with a new car or bike. The convention is stated on every result: plate digits added and reduced to 1 to 9, the day of birth reduced the same way to the mulank, and the pair read in the traditional mulank friendship table (Cheiro and Sepharial lineage). Letters count only if you switch them on, at A=1 to Z=26. Fancy-number fees come from the Parivahan portal and state transport departments, with the date we checked. It is a number game, not advice. The site is free, needs no login and may carry advertising. --- # Data: mulank | label | n | planet | friends | neutral | enemies | plate1 | total1 | plate2 | total2 | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Mulank 1 | 1 | Sun | 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 | 4, 6, 7 | 8 | MH12AB1222 | 1 | KA01XY2259 | 1 | | Mulank 2 | 2 | Moon | 1, 2, 3, 5 | 6, 7, 9 | 4, 8 | DL3CAB1259 | 2 | GJ05CD2481 | 2 | | Mulank 3 | 3 | Jupiter | 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 | 4, 7 | 6, 8 | MH14EF1222 | 3 | TN09GH2370 | 3 | | Mulank 4 | 4 | Rahu | 4, 5, 6, 7 | 1, 3 | 2, 8, 9 | KA03JK1333 | 4 | UP32LM2222 | 4 | | Mulank 5 | 5 | Mercury | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 | 7, 8 | | MH02NP1407 | 5 | RJ14QR2259 | 5 | | Mulank 6 | 6 | Venus | 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | 1, 2, 9 | 3 | DL8SST1222 | 6 | TS09UV2481 | 6 | | Mulank 7 | 7 | Ketu | 4, 6, 7, 8 | 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 | | KL07WX1296 | 7 | WB02YZ2444 | 7 | | Mulank 8 | 8 | Saturn | 6, 7, 8 | 5, 9 | 1, 2, 3, 4 | MH20AA1185 | 8 | GJ01BB2518 | 8 | | Mulank 9 | 9 | Mars | 1, 3, 5, 9 | 2, 6, 7, 8 | 4 | KA05CC1111 | 9 | DL1CDD2222 | 9 | --- # Data: plateTotal | label | total | planet | meaning | suits | clashes | example | working | advice | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Plate total 1 | 1 | Sun | Leadership and standing alone; the Sun's number. | 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 | mulank 8 | MH12AB1222 | 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1 | If your mulank is 8, the table calls this a clash.
