Counting the digits only, 42 adds up to 6, rated Fair (grade C), traditionally read as "The artist's charm".

Chinese numerology reads each digit by what it sounds like, and gives the last digit the most weight
42 contains none of the popular Chinese lucky combinations, so the reading relies on the meaning of each digit, especially the last one.
According to Flying Star feng shui, Period 9 runs from 2024 to 2043, and the digits 9, 1 and 8 are considered the lucky stars of this period. The system therefore adds a few points when the last digit is one of these three. This is an interpretation based on the star periods, not a fixed rule, and it may change when the next period begins.
Taken from the Taksa table using the digits only. The letters in each plate's series need a separate check.
People born on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday (daytime), Wednesday (night), Thursday and Friday can use 42 without any Kalakini digit, while for people born on Tuesday and Saturday this number contains digits that Taksa advises avoiding.
Within that group, for people born on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday (daytime), Wednesday (night) and Thursday this number also contains digits that Taksa considers auspicious, so it is the strongest match.

A real plate's sum is the value of the series letters, plus the series prefix digit, plus every digit of the number
The number 42 already contributes 6 from its digits. The rest depends on the letter series you choose. For the whole plate to reach grade A, choose a series whose letters plus prefix digit add up to 8 or 13 or 9 or 18 or 17, which makes the plate total 14 or 19 or 15 or 24 or 23 respectively. Grade B is possible with a series value of 3 or 14 or 20 or 29.
