Best numerology numbers for retail and fmcg
Retail is 5, then 2 and 6: movement, trust and the pleasant counter. 5 leads because Mercury rules the footfall, the impulse and the quick exchange a shop lives on; 2 follows because the Moon holds the repeat customer, the one who comes back for the person behind the counter rather than the price; 6 sits third because Venus rules the display, the fit-out and the comfort that keeps people in the shop. Two conditions apply. 3 is advised against for showrooms, since Jupiter's number explains where a showroom should let the product speak, and a 3 founder with a showroom does better with a 5 or a 6 on the name and a salesperson who is not a teacher. 6 carries a condition on margin, because Venus spends on the look before it checks the ledger; a 6 shop prices on margin and checks the books before the next fit-out. Nothing is blocked outright, so the sector is open to every founder who takes the right seat.

Sector note. A 5 shop draws the highest enquiry volume in the phone reading and the sector table puts 5 first at the counter, so a retailer's business line and business name usually agree on the digit.

Questions founders ask
Which number is best for retail and fmcg?
Practitioners favour 5, 2, 6 in that order. No number is blocked outright in this sector.
What does neutral mean here?
A score of 55 means the tradition makes no statement about that number in this sector: silence rather than approval, and not a warning.
Does the sector override the founder's numbers?
No. The founder is read first, driver then conductor; the sector reading is applied on top, and a number can suit the founder and be wrong for the company name at the same time.
What is a condition?
3 against showrooms; 6 conditional. A condition narrows where a number is favoured rather than removing it.
