Om 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 | O | M | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 7 | 4 | 11 → 2 |
Number 2 is ruled by the Moon (चंद्र): the peacemaker. Number 2 people read moods well and do their best work in partnership. Harmony around them matters a lot. Its keywords are sensitive, cooperative, intuitive.
In the Western (Pythagorean) method, Om has an Expression number of 1, a Soul Urge (vowels) of 6 and a Personality (consonants) of 4. See all of them with the name numerology calculator.
Birth dates that suit Om
A name works best when its number is friendly with the child’s Mulank (Moolank), the day of birth reduced to one digit. Number 2 compares with each Mulank like this:
| Born on | Mulank | Fit with 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 19, 28 | 1 (Sun) | Excellent |
| 2, 11, 20, 29 | 2 (Moon) | Excellent |
| 3, 12, 21, 30 | 3 (Jupiter) | Good |
| 4, 13, 22, 31 | 4 (Rahu) | Difficult |
| 5, 14, 23 | 5 (Mercury) | Average |
| 6, 15, 24 | 6 (Venus) | Challenging |
| 7, 16, 25 | 7 (Ketu) | Difficult |
| 8, 17, 26 | 8 (Saturn) | Challenging |
| 9, 18, 27 | 9 (Mars) | Good |
Om suits babies born on these days of any month: 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 19, 20, 21, 27, 28, 29 and 30. It is a weaker fit for a Mulank of 4, 6, 7 and 8. The Bhagyank (the full date) matters too, so check your baby’s exact date below.
Om 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. Om starts with ओ (O), the syllable of Rohini pada 1, which falls in Vrishabha rashi (Taurus), ruled by Venus.
So Om is a traditional fit for a boy born when the Moon was in Rohini pada 1, and many families also accept it for any Vrishabha rashi baby.
