Name number 31: compound 31 in business numerology
4 · Rahu
Avoid
not in a ranked route
Cheiro, Book of Numbers (classical table 10-52)
The classical reading
31 reduces to 4, Rahu's number. Inside it 3 is Jupiter and 1 is Sun, with Rahu behind the pair as the reduced digit. On the surface a 4 name behaves as any 4 does: slow to build, lumpy in cash, and dangerous without an adviser. Practitioners read it as a total to keep off a business name; the practitioner's route off it is 37. Its name weight is 15 of 100 in the Name Score, which is how the verdict enters a score without being averaged away. Move a name off it by the smallest edit that leaves it.
The business reading
Avoid: upgrade to 37.

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.
