Mobile number numerology explained

Mobile number numerology adds up the digits of a phone number to one digit. It then reads how well that number suits its owner's mulank (birth day number) and bhagyank (destiny number). For example, 212 555 0147 adds up to 32, which gives 5. For John Doe, whose two numbers are both 6, that is a good fit.

Mobile number numerology: how the API works it out

POST /v1/number takes kind set to mobile, the number as written and the owner's birth date. The API adds every digit and skips spaces, dashes and plus signs. Then it reduces the total.

To reduce means to add the digits until one digit is left. For 212 555 0147, the digits add up to 32, and 3 plus 2 gives 5, ruled by Mercury. The owner here is John Doe, born August 15, 1990.

His mulank (birth day number) and bhagyank (destiny number) are both 6, ruled by Venus. Venus counts Mercury as a friend, so both links are friendly and the fit is good. The answer holds digits, total, compound, number and planet.

The fit block lists the two links, from the mulank and from the bhagyank, each with its relation. It ends with an outcome and a short reading. The rule has no weights.

A friend and no enemy is good, and an enemy and no friend is difficult. One of each is mixed, and neither is neutral. To compare SIM choices, POST /v1/numbers reads up to 5 numbers of one kind.

It returns them in the order sent and never ranks them. Next to 212 555 0147, the number 212 555 0199 adds up to 39, which gives 3. Venus counts Jupiter as neutral, so that fit is neutral.

A number with no digit other than zero is refused.
