Working out your ‘number’

Brisbane psychic, numerologist and palm reader Sarah Yip says to work out the numerological number of your house, add its numbers until you arrive at a single digit.

For example, if your house number is 66, then its numerological number is 3 (6+6=12; 1+2=3). If you live at 34/7 add 3+4+7=14; 1+4=5.

What your house number means

House number meanings are so varied and intriguing; having just a little insight into them could open you up to a whole new way of thinking. Number 19 for example is said to be good for new beginnings, while number one is known for its leadership qualities.

Some sources say it’s important to avoid interpreting the meaning of your house number directly as this could impact your decisions. Meanwhile other people will purely select their homes based on numerology and whether their address boasts a lucky house number.

Here, Sarah reveals the numerological meanings behind numbers one to nine.

#1

Pros: Promotes independence and great for people looking for a fresh start.

Cons: “You will be constantly busy. I often see number one houses up for rent as not everyone can cope with their fast pace, or in some cases, exposed location,” Sarah says.

#2

Pros: “Encourages intimacy, creativity and patience. Live here if you want peace and quiet.”

Cons: You’ll become too passive if you’re shy or indecisive, Sarah says.

#3

Pros: Ideal for gatherings, raising children and open communication. Three is a lucky number.

Cons: Not the cleanest house, or the best for discipline. Gossip can backfire in a number three house.

#4

Pros: Somewhere you can feel safe and secure; it encourages commitment.

Cons: Can make you more inflexible and conservative.

#5

Pros: Amazing for travellers, night owls, gypsies and forever-young types, Sarah says.

Cons: “I see these houses up for rent more than any other house number – they are better for extroverts.”

#8

Pros: This is the money number in China and associated with good returns over the long-term.

Cons: “You can’t cut corners in a number eight house. It is shaped like an infinity symbol showing what goes around comes around.” You must look after this house and not scrimp on insurance, Sarah warns.
