Ved 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 | V | E | D | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 6 | 5 | 4 | 15 → 6 |
Number 6 is ruled by Venus (शुक्र): the nurturer. Number 6 people value family, beauty and comfort. They take responsibility for others naturally. Its keywords are caring, artistic, responsible.
In the Western (Pythagorean) method, Ved has an Expression number of 4, a Soul Urge (vowels) of 5 and a Personality (consonants) of 8. See all of them with the name numerology calculator.
Birth dates that suit Ved
A name works best when its number is friendly with the child’s Mulank (Moolank), the day of birth reduced to one digit. Number 6 compares with each Mulank like this:
| Born on | Mulank | Fit with 6 |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 19, 28 | 1 (Sun) | Difficult |
| 2, 11, 20, 29 | 2 (Moon) | Challenging |
| 3, 12, 21, 30 | 3 (Jupiter) | Challenging |
| 4, 13, 22, 31 | 4 (Rahu) | Good |
| 5, 14, 23 | 5 (Mercury) | Excellent |
| 6, 15, 24 | 6 (Venus) | Excellent |
| 7, 16, 25 | 7 (Ketu) | Good |
| 8, 17, 26 | 8 (Saturn) | Excellent |
| 9, 18, 27 | 9 (Mars) | Average |
Ved suits babies born on these days of any month: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 31. It is a weaker fit for a Mulank of 1, 2 and 3. The Bhagyank (the full date) matters too, so check your baby’s exact date below.
Ved 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. Ved starts with वे (Ve), the syllable of Mrigashira pada 1, which falls in Vrishabha rashi (Taurus), ruled by Venus.
So Ved is a traditional fit for a boy born when the Moon was in Mrigashira pada 1, and many families also accept it for any Vrishabha rashi baby.
Find your baby’s own syllable with the baby name by date of birth calculator, or see every syllable in the naam akshar tables.
