This Life Path harmony reads from the classical planetary friendship table in the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra (Ch. 3), which maps each number 1 to 9 to a ruling planet and sets which planets are friends, neutral, or rivals. Cheiro and Harish Johari frame the same number-to-planet vibrations in their works on numbers. The score weighs only Life Path here. A full reading also compares Destiny and Soul Urge numbers.
