In Indian numerology number 4 is ruled by Rahu. It can appear as your birth number, life path number or name number.
Number 4 is the number of structure, steadiness and practical effort. It is the number of the builder — structure, steadiness and the kind of practical effort that doesn't look impressive day to day but is still standing years later. Its strength is reliability; its risk is holding on to a structure so tightly that it forgets structures exist to serve something, not the other way around.

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.
