Gauri 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 | G | A | U | R | I | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 3 | 1 | 6 | 2 | 1 | 13 → 4 |
Number 4 is ruled by Rahu (राहु): the builder. Number 4 people are hard-working and methodical, and often see things differently from those around them. Its keywords are practical, disciplined, unconventional.
In the Western (Pythagorean) method, Gauri has an Expression number of 11, 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 Gauri
A name works best when its number is friendly with the child’s Mulank (Moolank), the day of birth reduced to one digit. Number 4 compares with each Mulank like this:
| Born on | Mulank | Fit with 4 |
|---|---|---|
| 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) | Excellent |
| 5, 14, 23 | 5 (Mercury) | Good |
| 6, 15, 24 | 6 (Venus) | Good |
| 7, 16, 25 | 7 (Ketu) | Average |
| 8, 17, 26 | 8 (Saturn) | Excellent |
| 9, 18, 27 | 9 (Mars) | Difficult |
Gauri suits babies born on these days of any month: 4, 5, 6, 8, 13, 14, 15, 17, 22, 23, 24, 26 and 31. 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.
Gauri 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. Gauri starts with गो (Go), the syllable of Shatabhisha pada 1, which falls in Kumbha rashi (Aquarius), ruled by Saturn.
So Gauri is a traditional fit for a girl born when the Moon was in Shatabhisha pada 1, and many families also accept it for any Kumbha rashi baby.
