There is much confusion on the topic of numbers in feng shui, an obvious example being the number four, which many people consider as unlucky.
When thinking about the energies of your home, every last detail is important, and that includes the significance of numbers. However, there are two questions which come to mind immediately.
First, are there really good and bad house numbers? Secondly, what should we be doing with house numbers that bring us bad luck?
As you become more familiar with the principle of feng shui and become more connected with your home, you begin to notice certain things, such as how your entrance brings energy into your home, or how the energies in your kitchen have a direct impact on your health matters.
While understanding the energies of your home, we should also ensure that we are keeping a logical mindset when it comes to dealing with many of the common misunderstandings on the topic of house numbers.
By looking at numerology, the ancient science of numbers, we can begin to see trends between various numerology resources and understand more of the energy related to each specific number, or a combination of numbers.
Feng Shui Numbers
Here are some of the basic meanings behind numbers and their energies.
0 emptiness, potential, nothing
1 A pure flow of energy, a fresh start
2 balance, choice, two or more groups cooperating
3 expressing oneself, being creative, family
4 Stability, security
5 Change, adventure, adaptability
6 having patience and remaining calm
7 Self-reflection, solitude, contemplating
8 Abundance, success in business
9 Accomplishment, the highest number
One of the main reasons why people misunderstand numbers is that they associate their meanings with similar sounding words from the Chinese language. One of the most common examples is the number 4, which sounds similar to the Chinese word for death. For this reason many people associate it with bad luck. In English, the word death sounds nothing like the number 4 so I don't think it is something we should worry about.
Numbers in feng shui are not necessarily good or bad - it is all about energy, and you yourself are in charge of creating good energy when you take control of your life. Understanding and being able to influence the feng shui of your home is one of the factors in taking control of your life.
