When you’re looking for a new place, usually the big things you look at are where it’s at, how big it is, and what you’re paying. But there’s actually another part of finding a house that can really affect how things feel there. Have you ever heard of “house numerology”?
The house number you pick according to numerology can help everything feel smooth and in sync energy-wise where you live. It even has the potential to instill calmness and grounding, strengthen relationships, foster creativity, and attract financial prosperity.
Start With Your Life Path Number
The first thing you’ll want to check out is your life path number. That’s the number you get by adding up all the digits in your birthdate. There are nine main life path numbers, plus three “master” numbers – 11, 22 and 33. 44 doesn’t count as a master number.
For example, say you were born on May 5th, 1990. Your life path number would be 11. 5+5+1+9+9+0 is 29, and 2+9 is 11. People with an 11 life path tend to be intuitive, smart, and wise. So, if feeling insightful and intelligent resonates with you, maybe house number 11 is the way to go!
Living somewhere that matches your life path number could amplify a sense of meaning and satisfaction. It might even attract some good luck or inner peace your way. Your life path number is like your “universal ID” number in numerology. Living in a house with the same number as your life path number, or at least on a street with that number, could actually improve your life.
Calculate Your Name Number
Another way to get an idea of what house number might be good for you is to check out your name number. To find your name number, you take each letter in your name and replace it with the number it represents in the alphabet. Then, you add all those numbers together.
For example, if your name is Anna, here’s what you’d do: A=1, N=5, N=5, A=1. Add those up, and you get 1+5+5+1 = 12. But for your name number, you only take the single digit. So 1+2=3. Anna’s name number is 3.
Your name number in numerology is supposed to represent who you are as a person, not necessarily what will happen in your life. That’s because you always have the power to change your name if you want. If you really love your name or have some kind of emotional attachment to it, you could totally use your name’s number as your house number.
Matching The Energy Vibration
Another way to choose a house number is by focusing on the energy that a specific number carries. Each number is believed to radiate a particular energy that can impact different aspects of life.
For example, if making money is really important to you, maybe look for a place with an 8 in the address. That number is linked to wealth and being well-off. But if peace and quiet is more your thing, think about number 2. It represents harmony and balance, so it might make for a calmer environment.
Here’s a brief overview of some key numbers and their numerological meanings:
- Number 1: Independence, leadership, new beginnings.
- Number 2: Cooperation, harmony, balance.
- Number 3: Creativity, self-expression, communication.
- Number 4: Stability, structure, practicality.
- Number 5: Freedom, adaptability, change.
- Number 6: Nurturing, family, responsibility.
- Number 7: Spiritual awareness, introspection, analysis.
- Number 8: Success, abundance, financial opportunities.
- Number 9: Compassion, transformation, humanitarianism.
You want to focus on the energy of single-digit numbers. Take the house number 183 for example. The 1 means independence, which is all about doing your own thing. The 8 stands for wealth and abundance, so that money is flowing. And don’t forget about the 3, because that one’s all about creativity.
If you’re self-employed, freelancing, or creating YouTube or online content, where you want to work on your own terms and improve your creativity, then 183 would be a good combo for you.
Feng Shui
Before you pick your new house number, you may want to look at feng shui, too. In feng shui, each number is connected to different natural elements, such as wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
- 1 and 2: wood (money, growth, tradition)
- 3 and 4: fire (passion, intimacy, drive)
- 5 and 6: earth (stability, grounding)
- 7 and 8: metal (self-esteem, strength, clarity)
- 9 and 0: water (emotions, feelings, love)
If you’re really looking to settle down and feel grounded, numbers 5 and 6 are great choices. They represent the earth element, which is all about stability and harmony. Want to strengthen your bond with your significant other? Go for 9 or 0, or the combination 90. As the water element, they symbolize emotions, intimacy, and true love – perfect for nurturing relationships.
In feng shui, the flow of energy in your home is also really important. If the address of your place adds up to the number 4, you’ll want to incorporate some fire elements into the decor. Pink or red candles, a fireplace, or paintings with fire themes are perfect choices. All the fire energy is supposed to strengthen relationships and drive ambition.
Final Tip
To get an ideal house number, take your life path number, your name number, and even your favorite element number from feng shui. Then, combine all those energies together and see if it points you toward a home where you truly feel at home and successful.
For example, let’s say your life path is 9, your name number is 3, and the element of fire feels right (3 or 4.) Your perfect house address could be 15, 16, 933, or 934.
