Ayush in numerology
Indian numerologists use the Chaldean method: each letter has a value from 1 to 8, and the total is reduced to one digit.
| Letter | A | Y | U | S | H | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 1 | 1 | 6 | 3 | 5 | 16 → 7 |
Number 7 is ruled by Ketu (केतु): the seeker. Number 7 people look beneath the surface. They need quiet time and are drawn to research and spirituality. Its keywords are analytical, spiritual, reserved.
In the Western (Pythagorean) method, Ayush has an Expression number of 2, a Soul Urge (vowels) of 4 and a Personality (consonants) of 7. See all of them with the name numerology calculator.
Birth dates that suit Ayush
A name works best when its number is friendly with the child’s Mulank (Moolank), the day of birth reduced to one digit. Number 7 compares with each Mulank like this:
| Born on | Mulank | Fit with 7 |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 19, 28 | 1 (Sun) | Difficult |
| 2, 11, 20, 29 | 2 (Moon) | Difficult |
| 3, 12, 21, 30 | 3 (Jupiter) | Average |
| 4, 13, 22, 31 | 4 (Rahu) | Average |
| 5, 14, 23 | 5 (Mercury) | Good |
| 6, 15, 24 | 6 (Venus) | Good |
| 7, 16, 25 | 7 (Ketu) | Excellent |
| 8, 17, 26 | 8 (Saturn) | Good |
| 9, 18, 27 | 9 (Mars) | Difficult |
Ayush suits babies born on these days of any month: 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 23, 24, 25 and 26. It is a weaker fit for a Mulank of 1, 2 and 9. The Bhagyank (the full date) matters too, so check your baby’s exact date below.
Ayush in astrology: rashi and nakshatra
Families who follow the naam akshar choose a name that starts with the syllable of the baby’s birth nakshatra. Ayush starts with अ (A), the syllable of Krittika pada 1, which falls in Mesha rashi (Aries), ruled by Mars.
So Ayush is a traditional fit for a boy born when the Moon was in Krittika pada 1, and many families also accept it for any Mesha rashi baby.
