In feng shui, numbers are a topic of much debate. The first example which springs to mind is the number 4, which came to be considered as bad luck by many practitioners.
To optimize the energies of your home you need to think of every last detail, which of course includes the meanings behind numbers. There are two very important questions which we must look at:
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 connected with your home and understand it in more depth from a feng shui perspective, you slowly start to understand how the energy of your main entrance empowers the entire home's energy, or how your kitchen can have a positive (or negative) impact on your health.
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.
The ancient study of numbers is what we refer to as numerology. By learning more about it we can assess the significance of the numbers associated with our home.
Feng Shui Numbers
Here are some of the basic meanings behind numbers and their energies.
0 Nothingness, potential, emptiness
1 A pure flow of energy, a fresh start
2 cooperation between two or more sides, choice and balance
3 self expression and creativity
4 Stability, security
5 being able to adapt, changing, adventure
6 Patience, calm
7 Self-awareness, solitude, contemplation
8 Abundance, infinity, success in business matters
9 Complete, the highest number
The energy of numbers is often misinterpreted because the original interpretation of numbers is based on how they sound when spoken in Chinese. The number 4, for example sounds similar to the word for death in Chinese, which is why it is considered to be an unlucky number. But the number 4 in the English language doesn't sound anything like the word for death, does it? So it is not something for you to be worried about.
What you need to know is that numbers are not simply good or bad - it is about the chi (energy), and you are in charge of creating positive energy when you take control of your life. Being able to control the energies of your home is one important step in taking control of your life.
