Rahu and Mercury

As co-founders

As co-founders, the 4 regards the 5 as friend and the 5 regards the 4 as friend, which grades the pair Aligned. Practitioners give the 4 field sales, business development, technology (not finance) and the 5 marketing, communication, customer presentation (finance with an 8); the pair works while each keeps to that side of the room.

Roles: 4 takes field sales, business development, technology (not finance); 5 takes marketing, communication, customer presentation (finance with an 8).

As name and founder

A business name totalling to 4 for a founder whose driver and conductor are 5 reads Strong; the reverse, a 5 name for a 4 founder, reads Strong. Both directions support each other, so either digit can carry the letterhead for the other.

A 4 name for a 5 founder reads Strong; A 5 name for a 4 founder reads Strong.

As phone digits

In a phone number the digits 45 and 54 both read opposed, pairs a line is respelled to avoid. Phone Line reads all nine pairs together, since one pair never decides a line.

45 reads opposed; 54 reads opposed.

What to do about it

The 4 on product and systems, the 5 on market, communication and reach. A name on 23 or 41 gives both a digit they befriend. Keep 2, 8 and 9 off the partnership for the 4's sake, and take a 1, 6 or 7 for the third seat instead.

Sectors that favour both: E-commerce, Technology and IT, SaaS and software, Digital marketing and advertising, Media, entertainment and content.
