Ever wonder if the number on your license plate affects your luck and fortune? According to feng shui, the numbers and letters on your car plate can influence your life in interesting ways.
You probably didn’t give much thought to your plate number when you first got it, you just wanted to get in and out of there as quickly as possible. But now that you have a choice, why not choose a number that will help attract good fortune and prosperity? With our tips, you’ll be driving around with a license plate that will help shift your luck and fortune into high gear.
Key Takeaways
- Look for numbers like 168, 888, or anything with lots of 8’s, which signifies wealth and abundance.
- Avoid numbers with 4’s which represent death. And if your current plate has lots of 4’s, you may want to consider a new lucky number next time your renewal is due.
- Going overboard on repeating numbers is best avoided. Numbers like 88888 or 7777 might draw negative energy.
Lucky Car Plate Numbers
In feng shui, your car’s license plate number is believed to affect your luck and fortune. Certain numbers are considered auspicious, while others are best avoided. Lucky feng shui car numbers include 8, 6, and 9.
- Eight symbolizes prosperity and success. It also represents karma, which is the idea that how you treat something will determine how it treats you in return. So, for example, if you take good care of your car and maintain it, it’ll keep running well for you.
- Six represents harmony and balance. If you get a license plate with sixes in it, your car will run smoother because it’s all in sync.
- Nine signifies longevity and accomplishment. The more nines you have in your license plate number, the longer your car will keep running well.
If possible, choose a plate with several eights, sixes nines, or a combination of these lucky digits. If you can’t find one that has both a six and an eight, get creative. For instance, if there’s a plate with a six and a two, that still works out because six plus two is eight.
For the best feng shui, choose a symmetrical number where the digits on either side of the middle number are the same, such as 12881 or 38338. Symmetry represents stability and calmness.
Also, consider the number’s meaning when the digits are added together. For example, a plate-like 6211 totals 10, a number meaning completion, perfection, and new beginnings. This can magnify the good fortune of an already auspicious plate.
Unlucky Car Numbers In Feng Shui
Every coin has two sides, and feng shui is no different. According to feng shui, here are some car numbers to avoid for good luck:
Avoid the unlucky 4. The number 4 is associated with death in some Asian cultures, so a car plate like ‘4U4NV’ would be a poor choice! Steer clear of plates containing four fours or starting with four.
Similarly, avoid 1 and 7. One can represent feeling lonely or isolated, while seven has been associated with violence or danger. You wouldn’t want to end up somewhere all by yourself without any assistance!
Other numbers to use cautiously on your license plate include:
- 13 – Associated with bad luck and misfortune in Western culture.
- 666 – The ‘number of the beast’ is considered a very ominous number.
- 777 – While 7 is a lucky number, too many 7’s together is thought to bring about misfortune. Moderation is key!
- Any numbers that add up to 4, such as 22 or 31.
Additional Feng Shui Car Tips
To maximize the feng shui of your car, here are a few additional tips:
Cleanliness And Clutter-Free
Keep the interior of your car clean and free of clutter. A messy or dirty car makes the energy stagnant and prevents chi from flowing freely. Regularly vacuum seats and carpets, wipe down surfaces, and remove any trash or unnecessary items from the seats and floorboards.
Meaningful Items
Place a few personal items in your car that have positive meaning or memories for you. This could be a crystal, photo, dream catcher, or artwork. Meaningful objects help make the space cozy and fill it with good energy. Be sure any loose items are secured so they do not become projectiles in the event of abrupt braking or an accident.
When it comes to photos in your car, they have to be of something or someone alive. If you’ve got a picture of someone who’s passed, that’s bringing “dead” or stagnant energy into the vehicle.
Choose The Right Colors
When choosing the right colors for your car, feng shui principles can guide you to pick shades that bring luck, success, and abundance.
For prosperity and abundance, opt for shades of green, blue, and gold. Green symbolizes growth, renewal, and wealth. Painting your car a lighter shade of green or aqua blue can attract positive chi and money energy. Gold is the color of nobility and fortune, so gold accents or trim can symbolize wealth and abundance.
For success at work and achieving your goals, red and purple shades are recommended. Red represents power, vitality, and leadership. A deep red or burgundy paint job can signal authority, status, and achievement. Purple combines the grounding energy of blue with the power of red, so it’s seen as a color for manifestation and reaching your highest potential.
For good luck, happiness and joy, bright colors like yellow and orange are favored. The vibrant yellow of the sun symbolizes happiness, optimism, and enlightenment. Orange combines the energy of yellow with red, signifying abundance, positivity, and joy.
How About 2024?
If you’re in the market for a new car in 2024, consider choosing a license plate with numbers that contain 9, 8, 1, 3, or 5. Avoid numbers containing the metal element, as wood and metal clash in feng shui, and numbers with the number 2, as 2 is a negative number for the dragon.
The year 2024 is the Chinese Year of the Wooden Dragon, which comes once every 60 years. The dragon is the most auspicious animal in Chinese culture and represents strength, power, and good fortune. The combination of the dragon’s energy with the year’s numerological significance (8 is the number of 2024) will likely bring success and prosperity, or at minimum safe journeys and travels.
Final Notes
Sure, there’s no guarantee these numbers will radically change your life, but choosing a number with positive associations that resonates with you can help shift your mindset and outlook in a good way. And in today’s busy world, even small positive changes are welcome!
