Reading the compound and the digit together

  1. The compound is read before the digit is, and the digit is read as character rather than fate.
  2. Two names on the same digit differ by compound; 23 is not 41 and 18 is not 27.
  3. A compound is a planetary pairing: 19 is the Sun with Mars, 18 the Sun with Saturn in mutual enmity.
  4. 13, 14, 16 and 19 are the karmic totals; they are read unreduced.
  5. The nearest good compound beats the ideal one: a one-letter edit to 37 is worth more than a rebrand to 23, because the goodwill of the old name is kept.
