Number 22 (master number)

22 is a master number; it reduces to the root number 4 (ruling planet Rahu).

The character of number 22

Number 22 is the number of vision, steady building and long-term responsibility. It is a master number — the builder's number 4 raised to a much larger scale: vision paired with the patience to construct something that outlasts the person who started it. Its gift is genuinely large-scale capability; its risk is the weight of that scale becoming paralysing rather than motivating.

Birth number, life path number and name number

The birth number (mulank) is the sum of the digits of the day you were born: someone born on the 14th has 1+4 = 5. The life path number (bhagyank) adds every digit of the full date: 14-06-1990 gives 1+4+0+6+1+9+9+0 = 30, then 3+0 = 3. The name number comes from the letters of the name. Each is reduced to a single digit, except 11, 22 and 33, which are kept as master numbers.
