Digit sum 16 Deep love, rough waters
A number of intense attachment. Good for the arts, but matters of the heart often bring lessons.
Digit sum 16 blends the Sun and Venus, giving good taste and an easy pull on people, but often an all-in attachment to someone that throws life off balance. It suits creative work and work where feelings are the main tool. Be wary of clinging too tightly and of overspending on the people you love.

Meaning in Chinese numerology
Chinese numerology reads each digit by what it sounds like, and gives the last digit the most weight
9 9 sounds like 久, meaning long-lasting, and as the highest single digit it is linked in Chinese tradition with nobility.
7 In some dialects 7 sounds like 去, meaning to leave, so it is seen as neutral leaning negative, although some groups regard it as a digit of coming together.
97 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.
