What are the best feng shui numbers for a house or apartment? And why?
Lucky numbers for your home or office: 1, 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9.
Number 1 means a new beginning, birth, always a favorable event. The number 2 represents balance, as in Yin and Yang.
The number 3 in Feng Shui, as in Western culture, has mystical powers: three wishes in fairy tales, the Holy Trinity in Christianity and three angles in a triangle. The numbers 6 and 9, as multiples of 3, also bring good luck. Nine also represents the climax of the cycle, things reaching their peak. In Chinese, the number 9 would be “chou”, just like the word for “longevity”. If you live in a house or apartment with number nine, you can safely stay there for a while.
The number 8, similar to the number 3, also carries positive energy. In Cantonese, the word "eight" and "prosperity" sound the same. In addition, Bagua has eight trigrams.

House numbers to avoid
In Feng Shui, number four is considered unlucky. In Chinese it is very similar to the word that means “death”. In Chinese architecture, the number four is often avoided. Chinese architects sometimes "cut" the corners of buildings to create an eight-sided structure. And buildings in China sometimes lack a fourth floor, just as in the US some architects remove the 13th floor for superstitious reasons.
Unlike Western culture, the number 7 is also considered unlucky in Feng Shui. Chinese memorial services are traditionally held every 7 days for 7 weeks.
Five is considered a neutral number in Feng Shui.
How to choose a floor of a house according to Feng Shui
1st, 6th, 11th floor.
Space is water. Time is earth. The Earth controls water, so on the 1st, 6th, 11th floors Space is under the control of Time. Such a floor can create a large number of problems that the homeowner will need to overcome. However, this floor is excellent for sports and education. Its energy will have a particularly beneficial effect on students or people who have recently completed their studies and started working. After all, if the course of life of these people is too smooth, they will lose all their skills and abilities, they will not enter the future as individuals capable of solving problems. Floors 1, 6, 11 are perfect for those whose line of work involves solving other people’s problems (lawyer, doctor, psychologist, etc.). Such people will have a large flow of clients.
2, 7, 12 Floor.
Space is fire. Time is earth. Fire creates Earth, so Space creates Time. Individuals living on this floor must create new opportunities, and with their own hands. These floors are good for active individuals with a bustling life. They are also suitable for people looking for ways to sell, who need advertising and fame. Residents on such floors usually create everything for personal advancement themselves. Regarding professions, this floor will be perfect for people working in the field of advertising, PR, design, public relations, and public speaking.
Apartment floor according to Feng Shui
3, 8, 13 floor.
Space is a tree. Time is earth. The Earth is under the control of the Tree and on this floor Time is under the control of Space. This means that for those living on such a floor there are a large number of ways to earn money. This floor is perfect for those who are extremely absorbed in their career, work hard and earn good money. As a rule, such individuals are engaged in business, they find new and new opportunities for running their business and earning money. That is why, according to Feng Shui, floors 3, 8, 13 are the best for doing business.
4th, 9th, 14th floor.
Space is metal. Time is earth. Earth always gives birth to Metal, from which it follows that Time gives birth to Space. This indicates that in the lives of people living on these floors, everything is always smooth and calm. They get pleasure from everything that was previously laid down by them. Floors 4, 9, 14 are perfect for older people, those who have a stable career, who have earned a name for themselves. All of them can now enjoy the results of their own labors. These floors are also perfect for people of retirement age who have earned their living.
5th, 10th, 15th floor.
Space is earth. Time is earth. Both Time and Space belong to a single element. Both have equal importance, do not argue, but are friends with each other. It follows from this that the energy of these floors will have a beneficial effect on people who have a large circle of friends or who need it, in a team. The energy of the floor is also favorable for families where everyone is equal to everyone, where everyone has similar interests and often brings friends and guests to the house.
How to calculate your house number
If you already have a specific house or apartment number, it will be easy to determine whether it will be favorable or not for living. If the house number has a 2, 3 or 4 digit number, you can decipher each number separately or add all the numbers together until you get a single digit number between 1 and 9. This number will tell you whether the house will bring good luck to its inhabitants .
Luckily, with 6 positive numbers and only two numbers believed to bring bad luck, it is quite easy to find a house that will be considered lucky. Pay attention to the building's numerology if you are a fan of feng shui, taking into account the rules.

Feng Shui apartments
Feng Shui apartments
We spend a significant part of our lives at home. Our well-being depends on the area in which your apartment is located according to Feng Shui, on the shape of the house and apartment, on the view from the window, on the interior and lighting.
Apartments and offices designed by highly qualified designers are not immune from flaws from the point of view of Feng Shui. And only a professional can find and eliminate the resulting flaws.
We can say with confidence that the interior of the apartment and the premises in which we live and work affects our general condition no less than the mountains, rivers, roads and other things that surround us. It turns out that our habits and behavior also depend on how our home and office are arranged according to Feng Shui. It turns out that after examining the Feng Shui of an apartment , a Feng Shui master will easily identify not only irregular shapes, flaws in construction and repairs, incorrect placement of furniture and much more, and will help with elimination, but will also know our character no worse than an astrologer or palmist.
We are a reflection of our environment. The places where we spend significant time working and relaxing are not just empty stone boxes. These rooms radiate energy and have their own symbolic meaning. Naturally, we react to all this both consciously and subconsciously. Our habits, principles, mood are determined by the location of rooms inside buildings and how these rooms are equipped.
Professionals look at an apartment or office as something endowed with a soul. After all, apartment design is the main step towards harmony.
According to Feng Shui, an apartment has a “mouth” and “eyes” of the apartment - these are doors and windows, and through them chi energy penetrates into the apartment. The quality and quantity of penetrating energy depends on the size and appearance of the “mouth” and “eyes” of the apartment.
The “arteries” and “veins” of an apartment are the corridors and passages through which energy flows throughout the apartment.
The “cells” of the apartment’s body – furniture, flowers, mirrors, chandeliers and others – affect the distribution of energy in the room.
The Chinese do not welcome rooms of non-standard shapes. During construction, when choosing an apartment, office or house, they prefer standard square, rectangular or round shapes. This is the correct method in Feng Shui of an apartment , home, office.
Europeans often use room shapes that resemble the shape of a shoe or knife, which is unfavorable from a Feng Shui point of view.
Remember that the location of a sleeping place, table or stove at the “toe of a boot” or on the “blade of a knife” is not the most favorable. But this can be corrected by hanging a mirror on the opposite wall, so that the front door is reflected in it, thus breaking the “wrong” shape of the room into two correct ones.
Feng Shui professionals easily eliminate errors in the interior, hide unsuccessful room layouts and transform unsuccessful kitchens, and correctly arrange furniture both in bedrooms and in offices.
When arranging furniture, Feng Shui experts primarily care about creating harmony in the room and balancing qi energy. All this for the sake of changing the fate of residents for the better.
An unfortunate situation is created when the emergency entrance or window is located opposite the main entrance. In such a situation, the qi energy entering the door leaves the house without passing through all the rooms. Such an apartment is not favorable according to Feng Shui. This situation can lead to disease of the organs that are located along the center line of the body.
This can be corrected by placing house plants on the windowsill or hanging a crystal in the path of the flow of qi energy, thus dispersing the energy throughout the apartment.
The placement of windows opposite each other will be unsuccessful. This location inspires anxiety, instability and a feeling of discomfort, since here the qi energy passes through the windows and does not have time to have a beneficial effect on the residents. This can be corrected if one of the windows is tightly covered with a curtain. But the worst option is when there are no windows. It is better to refrain from such rooms or arrange a storage room, dressing room or library there.
Strange and unexpected turns in life are caused by all deviations from simple geometric shapes: sloping ceilings, walls located at an acute angle to each other, inclined doors or windows, slanting beams. But by painting the ceiling a dark color or stretching a red thread horizontally along the wall from the lowest point of the ceiling, we will protect ourselves from troubles.
Recently, it has become fashionable to embed wooden beams in a “rustic style” into the interior of an apartment. If we consider these beams from the point of view of Feng Shui in an apartment, then such a “trick” prevents the smooth flow of energy. By attaching wind chimes or making slits in beams, we “revive” energy flows.
Another fashionable trend is to add attic floors. The architecture of such additions includes sloped ceilings and sloping walls that compress energy. To visually “raise” the ceiling and improve the movement of energy, you should direct bright light to sloping areas of the ceiling and place tall plants.
Chi energy gets trapped if adjacent walls are located at an acute angle to each other. If you have such a corner in your apartment, then you should place a living plant in it or light it abundantly. This will stimulate the circulation of energy. You can also hang a mirror in such a corner, it will visually compensate for the missing part, or “hide” the corner behind the curtain.
Non-standard shapes of inward-facing corners not only look like knives, which act as irritants on residents, but such a shape is considered incomplete, which exposes residents to hardship. Hang a crystal or place a tall plant in a corner to hide the “knife” effect and place a mirror so that it complements the corner to the correct geometric shape.
Indians, Zulus and some peoples of the North build round houses. From a Feng Shui point of view, this is a wise tradition. It is not for nothing that in our culture there is a belief that it is better not to sit on the corner of the table - “there will be no luck.” By following Feng Shui tips, you can improve the Feng Shui of your apartment and activate the energy of good luck throughout your home.
