You already know your home has a story. Mine does too. I can literally see the history when I strip away 110 years of paint off the old stone structure. Our homes also have an innate personality and character, and there is a mystical connection between the events and the address.
Before I feng shui any space, home or office, I use numerology to discover the vibrational matrix by adding up the address numbers. This number becomes the home’s mission or personality. The house number is more influential than the name of your street due to the energy patterns of the home’s address. Keep in mind there are no good or bad numbers.
Numerology is an age-old practice dating back to ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, which is still used today. So if you are looking for a deeper meaningful connection to your home, this just might be it.
To calculate the numerology of your home, write down the full number of the property. Next, add all the numbers together and reduce a multi-digit number to a single-digit number. For example, if the house number is 3015, add 3+0+1+5=9. If the house number is 524 then add 5+2+4=11. Then reduce the number to a single digit by adding the numbers together 1+1=2. If you live in an apartment, then add those numbers too. So if you live at 120 Washington Court, Apt 2, add the address 1+2+0=3 and then add the apartment number to that number or 3+2=5.
