Numbers are highly debated in feng shui. One obvious example is the number 4, which many practitioners regard as being an unlucky number.
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 start to understand the energies of your home at a greater level over time, you begin to see various things, such as how your entryway brings energy into the entire home, or how your kitchen has an effect on your health.
It is very easy to get anxious or frustrated when trying to understand the meanings of numbers. It is important that we maintain a calm and logical state of mind when assessing the meaning of numbers in our own homes.
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.
Understanding Feng Shui Numbers
These are the basic meanings behind numbers and their energies.
0 Nothingness, potential, emptiness
1 A flowing and pure energy, a new start
2 balance, choice, two or more groups cooperating
3 Family, self expression, creativity
4 Stability, security
5 Change, adventure, adaptability
6 Patience, calm
7 Self-reflection, solitude, contemplating
8 Abundance, success in business
9 Accomplishment, the highest number
People often misinterpret the meanings of numbers because they are thinking about how they sound in Chinese, and what other similar Chinese words these number words sound like. Take the number 4 for instance. It sounds similar to the word for death in Chinese, and that is why the number 4 is thought of as an unlucky number. I would like to point out that the number 4 in the English language sounds nothing like the word death, so in my opinion it is not something you need to 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.
