What questions these numbers can hold
The numbers fit a question about which theme a date reduces to. They do not schedule events, and they do not swap with a BaZi day master.

Keep the question inside the addition
You can ask what a date reduces to and what this personal year is. You cannot ask which day for surgery or whether to sign.
Do not add the number to another system
A life number is not a sun sign, not a day master, and not a hexagram. Similar words still get separate arithmetic.
Turn a wish into a theme
Illustration: “Is this a year to start a business?” becomes: what is the life number, what is the personal year, and how do the two sit together? That is still not business advice.
Common mistakes
- Using the numbers to pick a date.
- Turning a master number into a guarantee of success.
- Scoring the number together with BaZi elements.

No. The digits are not a ranking.
