All numbers in Feng Shui are significant, and perhaps none more than our house number. Numbers can enhance the inherent characteristics of a space. Because feng shui reduces everything to single digits, the best way to find your house number is to simply add its numbers together.
For instance, if you live at 1257 Elm Street, simply add all of your number’s digits to get 15, then add the 1 and 5 from 15 to get 6. Then find “6″ in the numbers below to undertand your house “number meaning.”
Or you can take this one step further and assign a number value to each letter in your street name, and add that as well. This is an even better indicator. Here the cipher for that:
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=1, K=2, L=3, M=4, N=5, O=6, P=7, Q=8, R=9, S=1, T=2, U=3, W=4, X=5, Y=6, Z=7.
Finishing the example above, the math would look like: 1+2+5 + 7 = 15, 1+5 = 6, then E (first letter of Elm) =5, L=3, and M=4. Add 6 (the number already derived) to your house name numbers: 6+5+3+4 = 18, 1+8 = 9. In this case your feng shui house number would be 9.
