The nature or behavior of a number comes from its ruling planet.

NUMBERS AND ASTROLOGY 

There are nine single numbers. 

The relationship of numbers to planets is the key to numerology. 

In the Hindu system, this relationship is the same as in the West, with the two following exceptions.

The number 4 in the Hindu system corresponds to Rahu (the north node of the Moon), whereas in the West this number is related to the Sun and Uranus.

The number 7 in the Hindu system corresponds to Ketu (the south node of the Moon), whereas in the West it is related to the Moon and Neptune.
