2 + 7 → 9
What the vowels want: consequence. Not money — proof. You need to see your effort move the world by a measurable amount, and pretending otherwise has never worked.
8
What the consonants project: someone already in motion. People assume you have a plan before you speak — which wins you rooms, and occasionally starts fights you never intended.
1 + 9 → 1 + 0 → 1
