Counting a home number
Add every digit and letter in the flat or house number and reduce to a single digit. Letters use Chaldean values, so B is 2 and A is 1. Zeros are simply skipped. A tower or block name is normally ignored unless the address is commonly written with it.
What each home number is like
1 suits independent people and self-starters. 2 makes a peaceful home for couples. 3 is lively and social, good with children. 4 is stable but hardworking, and rewards being kept organised. 5 is busy, with movement and visitors. 6 is the classic warm family home. 7 is quiet and reflective, suiting study or spiritual practice. 8 can build wealth over time but asks for patience. 9 is energetic and generous, with a tendency towards arguments.
Fit matters more than the number
A 7 home is wonderful for a writer and lonely for a large family. Rather than asking whether a number is good, ask whether it matches how the household actually lives. Where the fit is poor, the traditional remedy is to shift the effective total with a plaque inside the door, which is cheaper than moving and no less plausible than the rest of the system.
Homes are also read by direction, which is where the Kua number comes in.
Questions people ask
How do I count a flat number with a letter?
Letters are converted with Chaldean values and added to the digits, so B-1203 becomes 2 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 3 = 8.
Should I use the flat number or the building number?
Use the number of the space you actually live in. The building number is read for the building as a whole.
What if my house number does not suit me?
The usual remedy is a small plaque inside the main door carrying an extra digit, so the total shifts to a friendlier number.
