House Number Numerology
Apartment or house number numerology: the digits are added up, reduced to one and read as the character of the home. Unlike feng shui, you need neither a compass nor a floor plan.
How to calculate
Add up the digits of the apartment number. If the address includes a building number or letter, schools disagree: some count it, others don't. For number 74: 7+4 = 11 → 2.
Master numbers 11 and 22 are usually reduced in addresses: a home is thought to be described by the simple numbers.
Values
| Number | What kind of home it is considered |
|---|---|
| 1 | For a single person or someone starting their own business |
| 2 | For a couple, calm and peaceful |
| 3 | Lively, welcoming, often full of company |
| 4 | Hardworking and stable, good for those who are saving |
| 5 | Transitional: residents and plans change often |
| 6 | Family-oriented, cozy and caring |
| 7 | Quiet, for solitude and working from home |
| 8 | Prestigious, with money flowing through it |
| 9 | An open house with lots of different people |
What to do with this
It only has practical meaning at the stage of choosing: if you're weighing two equally good apartments, the number can serve as an optional tiebreaker.
The tradition doesn't advise moving because of a number, and the schools that do usually sell consultations. Far more important are the floor, the noise, the neighbors and the light — things that verifiably affect your life.
