Choosing the Door Direction by Mulank (Root Number)

Each mulank (root number of the birth date) belongs to a planet, and the direction of that planet is the favourable door side: 1 East, 2 North-West, 3 North-East, 4 and 7 South-West, 5 North, 6 South-East, 8 West and 9 South.

What it does

Gives a simple numerology check for the door direction.

Where

Main door

How to do it

  1. 1Add the digits of the birth date until one digit remains, for example 11 gives 2, 13 gives 4, 18 gives 9 and 19 gives 1
  2. 2Match the number to its planet and direction

Cautions

  • Mulank carries much less weight than rashi or the birth chart; decide from the kundli

Explanation and notes

1 Sun: East. 2 Moon: North-West. 3 Jupiter: North-East. 4 Rahu: South-West. 5 Mercury: North. 6 Venus: South-East. 7 Ketu: South-West. 8 Saturn: West. 9 Mars: South. India traditionally runs on tithi, not on calendar dates; tides, Amavasya, Purnima and eclipses follow tithis, which is why numerology carries less weight in Indian astrology.

Main Door Must Have Two Shutters (Ida and Pingala Principle)

The main door is the door of fortune: like the two nostrils it draws nature-given positive energy into the whole house and lets negative energy out. Its two shutters stand for ida and pingala, the two breaths that alternate roughly every hour.

Face-Like Main Door: Lamp Niches, Jharokhas, Tilak Symbol and Lips

Design the main door like a face: two shutters as the nostrils, two small niches as the eyes, two jharokhas as the ears, an Om or swastik as the tilak, and the threshold and upper frame as the lips. Ancient texts say such decoration multiplies the power of the main door many times.
