The classical reading

42 reduces to 6, Venus's number. Inside it 4 is Rahu and 2 is Moon, with Venus behind the pair as the reduced digit. On the surface a 6 name behaves as any 6 does: sells perception, prices on brand, and belongs outside the classroom. Practitioners read it as mixed, good in some trades and poor in others. Take it only when nothing better on 6 is within two edits; the good totals on 6 are 33, 51, 15.

The business reading

Mixed. Name weight 55 in the Name Score.

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.
