The classical reading
36 reduces to 9, Mars's number. Inside it 3 is Jupiter and 6 is Venus, with Mars behind the pair as the reduced digit. On the surface a 9 name behaves as any 9 does: scale, force and manpower, with a short fuse on control. Practitioners read it as a total to keep off a business name; it carries the 3 and 6 enmity inside it, since Jupiter and Venus oppose each other. Move a name off it by the smallest edit that leaves it, toward 27, 45, the good totals on 9.
The business reading

Reading the compound and the digit together
- The compound is read before the digit is, and the digit is read as character rather than fate.
- Two names on the same digit differ by compound; 23 is not 41 and 18 is not 27.
- A compound is a planetary pairing: 19 is the Sun with Mars, 18 the Sun with Saturn in mutual enmity.
- 13, 14, 16 and 19 are the karmic totals; they are read unreduced.
- 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.
