Is it important to get an favorable Feng Shui house number? Does
the number affect the Feng Shui of the house? A lot of people have
asked me these two questions and the answer is no, at least not
from my perspective. If you recall the definition of Feng Shui, it
is a study of the effect of the environment on the occupant of a
house. The surrounding mountains, rivers and roads maybe but
certainly not the house number! (Some masters believe that the
favorable numbers from the Lou Shu such as 1, 6 and 8 are
auspicious while others like 2 and 5 are highly inauspicious! I am
not going to disagree with this line of thoughts as I have not done
enough statistical study but from a cursory observation, I would
tend not to agree.) feng shui house numberThe number of a house or
street may however affect you from a different angle
To the Chinese the number 8 is considered auspicious because it
sounds like ‘getting rich’. The number 4 however sounds
like ‘dead’. As you would expect, most Chinese would
not buy a house with the number 4. But what if he accidentally ends
up with such a number? It may affect him from a psychological
angle! The house number may also affect him from a numerological
perspective. Believers in the study of numerology will want the
house number to harmonize with the house owner’s date of
birth. There are well documented formulas to check if there are in
harmony. It is does not harmonize then it is deem inauspicious. In
Malaysia, a country with a significant Chinese minority, getting an
auspicious Feng Shui house number can boost the resale value of
your house. I have many friends in the real estate market and they
tell me that houses with good numbers consistently out price and
our sell those with an ‘inauspicious’ house number. The
numbers would have different meaning in different cultures. For
example in the West, the number 13 is considered unlucky. However
to the Chinese the number 13 is acceptable as it sounds like
‘sure live’ implying a long life! So, does an
auspicious Feng Shui house number help? I believe not from a from a
Feng Shui perspective but there are very good reasons to get one
that is considered ‘auspicious’ in your area.
