House number numerology: Are you living at the right address?
One of my buyers recently mentioned this to me while we were shopping for homes….and I couldn’t stop thinking about it!
Many homeowners try to improve their personal well-being by addressing the atmosphere INSIDE their home. While balancing the energy in your home with feng shui and hygge is great, one method for making positive changes in your living space – can be through understanding house number numerology and how it fits into your life!
What’s numerology?
Numerology is the study of the numbers in your life through the universal language of numbers. The core concept of numerology is that everything is made up of numbers and, if we can break things down to their core numbers, we can better understand them.
At the core of numerology is your life path number. This is calculated as the sum of your birthdate. Supposedly, this speaks to your traits, talents and difficulties, in the same way as your astrological sign.
To calculate your life path number, you add up the numerals in your birthday until you get down to a single digit.
For example, if your birthday was April 1, 1985, your life number would be 4 (April) + 1 (the first) + 1+9+8+5 = 28. Then, take 2+8 = 10, then 1+0 = 1. Your life path number is one.
FUN FACT – Just found out my life path number is 7 – which I will tell you – has always been my favorite number! ODD coincidence!
Each life path number has a set of character traits and personality tendencies that typically go with it. If you believe in numerology, then understanding your own life path number can help you understand yourself better…fun to figure out – Google it or ask ChatGPT!
But we are talking about HOUSE numerology!
The idea of house numerology – is that your home’s street address – affects the feeling and tone of the home.
Finding your home’s number is very simple and is done the same way as your life path number. Simply add all the digits until you have a single digit number. If your address has a letter in it (for example, apartment 3B), assign that letter the number of the alphabet it is. So, A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on.
For example, if you live at 1569 Apple Street, you will do 1+5+6+9 = 21; 2+1 = 3. Your home number is 3.
Each home number represents a different set of influences your home might have on your life. Here are each of the home numbers and what they represent.
