Hey! Want to know what the new year 2025 has for you via your driver number? You are at the right place. Numerologist Rakhhi Jain knows about cosmic influences that shape our lives through. How? Well, because 2025 is a sum of 9 (2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9) and in numerology, Mars (Mangal) rules the number 9. Mars is the energy of action and achievement. And yet, it is also the planet of Lord Hanuman in Indian spiritual life, a symbol of courage, devotion and power.
Driver Number 1 (Born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th): People with this number are born under the influence of the Sun, the king of planets. Their core strengths would be leadership and confidence and opportunities await them in 2025. Everything ranging from office to love life and personal life will give them immense opportunities for developing leadership skills and achieving great success.
• Career: Recognise time and chances to promote or start new projects or become a business owner. Such individuals will simply shine and stand out as automatic leaders as people like them.
• Challenges: The Sun can sometimes make them headstrong or overconfident. They must be humble and keep themselves in check so that they don’t enter into conflicts.
• Action plan: They must start their mornings by performing ‘abhisheka’ of water to the Sun god at sunrise. That’s a beautiful daily routine to connect to solar energy. They should recite the ‘Gayatri Mantra’ for complete clarity and strength in their inner self. Also, wear yellow, gold-coloured clothes to add good vibes.
Driver Number 2 (Born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th): Such people are ruled by the Moon, the planet of emotions and intuition. They are deeply creative and sensitive. In 2025, those very qualities will really help to navigate life beautifully. It’s going to be a year of emotional balance and beautiful creative breakthroughs.
• Career: For creative souls engaged in writing, art, designing or any occupation that calls for imagination and intuition, there would be excellent growth. Intuition would guide them through the right opportunities.
• Challenges: Sensitivity is a strength, but it is a problematic asset because of unpredictable moods. Develop emotional balance and be steady.
• Action plan: Offer white flowers at the Moon on Mondays. It may appear to be small, but it has gigantic spiritual energies. Chant ‘Om Som Somaya Namaha’ to calm the mind and sensitise and attune intuition. Dress in whites and silver to cool the head and to clear thoughts.
Driver Number 3 (Born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th): Such individuals are ruled by Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, growth and abundance. It is all about learning, teaching and achieving this year. Their natural urge to expand their knowledge will make them successful.

• Challenges: Success is within their reach, but they shouldn’t indulge too much in luxury or become complacent. Focus on the long run.
• Action plan: Thursday is the day to worship Lord Vishnu or Guru Brihaspati. Donations can be made like yellow garments or food for the underprivileged. Bring yellow colour into life through clothing or accessories to be in tune with the beneficial energy of Jupiter.
Driver Number 4 (Born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st): People falling under this number are ruled by Rahu, the planet of transformation and unconventional ideas. In 2025, they will experience some unexpected changes that will ultimately work in their favour.
