The eight planes

Mental 4-9-2, Emotional 3-5-7, Practical 8-1-6, Thought 4-3-8, Will 9-5-1, Action 2-7-6, Golden 4-5-6, Silver 2-5-8. The centre cell sits on four planes, the corners on three, the edges on two.

The grades

Complete at three of three, one short at two, thin at one, empty at none. Grid strength is the mean completion with the two diagonals weighted 1.25.

The business read

The Practical plane is whether work gets finished, Will is follow-through, Action is shipping, Silver is accumulation. A founder reads a broken plane as a hiring brief.

Frequently asked questions

Which plane matters most for a founder?

The report reads all eight; the business read above says what each carries.

Is the Golden plane the same as Rajyog?

Some practitioners use that name; NumeroPandit keeps its own wording.

Does the Kua go into the grid?

In the Indian convention, yes; the toggle removes it.
