Feng Shui and Your Street Number

Feng Shui and Your Street Number

Feng Shui translates as "wind and water", and is the ancient Chinese practice considering the environment to be a metaphor for everything that occurs in your life. Chinese numerology is based on homophonic principles. If a number sounds like a similar word which means something good, it is considered to be a good number. Numbers are either yin (even) or yang (odd). Yang numbers are considered more fortunate. A favourable address combines yin and yang, otherwise they seem to coincide with lifestyles that are heavily weighted toward one function eg. possibly all work and no play. Zero represents nothing, perfection, completion and harmony.

ONE:	In Chinese it sounds like the word for "honour" and is considered lucky.
TWO:	Sounds similar to "sure". Two stands for "doubling up" (as in "double your happiness") and for symmetry. It is considered a good number.
THREE:	Sounds like "growth" or "alive" and is therefore lucky.
FOUR:	Sounds like "death", very unlucky unless combined with a favourable number.
FIVE:	Popular because it signifies balance and when combined with 2, 4, 6, or 8 it’s extremely auspicious because each pair of numbers is balanced.
SIX:	Similar to "wealth" , extremely popular.
SEVEN:	Sounds like Cantonese for "sure" - a very fortunate or lucky number.
EIGHT:	Sounds like "multiply" and represents good luck - a fertile number too, so if you desire many sons, live in a house with eight in the address.
NINE:	One of the luckiest as it sounds like the word for "longevity" and "long life".
TEN:	It implies completeness. It’s not however particularly auspicious because it is a yin number.
