How To Find Your House Number In Numerology + What It Says About Your Home

In the ancient system of numerology, it's believed that numbers, letters, and their vibrations can impact our own lives, purposes, and paths. You may already know your life path or destiny number, for instance, but in numerology, your house number matters too. Here's why, how to find yours, plus what it means.

"This number helps us understand the personality of our home and the themes that may arise during our time there," she explains, adding, "Knowing this number can help guide you in choosing the appropriate home for your needs and even shift the vibration of your current residence."

If you live in a house, you use the actual number of your street address, using the same process to reduce to a single digit. If you live at 744 Rose Boulevard, for instance, then you live in a home with the energy of a 6 (7 + 4 + 4 = 15, and 1 + 5 = 6).

They're excellent for entrepreneurs and those who are single, she notes, adding that this is a home where you will "be more focused on the self, as opposed to others—so if you are looking to partner up, this may not be the home for you."

"[It's] perfect for having people over and gathering with loved ones," she says, and thanks to this home's balanced energy, she adds, conflict doesn't typically occur often here.

"Socializing, entertaining, parties, and eccentric people will be present here," according to Kaerhart, who notes to be careful you don't get too caught up in the fast-paced energy of the 3, lest you become ungrounded or scattered.

One caveat, however, is feeling boxed in or restricted in this home, she says. If that happens, Kaerhart recommends incorporating some feng shui practices, plants, and anything that allows energy to flow.

However, if you want action, variety, exploration, freedom, and a bit of risk, you might just thrive here. But be warned, Kaerhart cautions, "Sometimes the 5 can be a bit of a hedonist, so make sure you find balance within your life instead of going to extremes."

While a balance of nurturing and your job is possible here, she does note that you may feel overwhelmed by your sense of duty and responsibilities to your loved ones. "Be careful not to drain yourself by overgiving and to nurture yourself before others," she says, adding, "This is also a home you may want to hermit in."

If you're more introverted, or focused on something like writing a book or going back to school, Kaerhart tells mindbodygreen that this would be the perfect house number for you. "This is a home to answer your sacred calling and dive deep into the depths of what truly matters to you on a soul level," she adds.

That said, if you're really focused on your job, this could be a very conducive environment for you. "This is a home to prosper and grow in, specifically when it comes to the material realm," Kaerhart says, adding, "The downside of this energy is that you can be prone to being a workaholic, or not know when enough is enough, especially when it comes to financial matters."

However, it's also a very warm and nurturing home where everyone will feel welcome. "As the 9 is the humanitarian's number, selflessness, forgiveness, compassion, and dedicating yourself to a cause (i.e., perhaps your home is a place where you foster animals) are very much supported here," Kaerhart explains.

Numerology can clue us in to everything from our life path to who we're most compatible with. And in the case of your house number, it can reveal the energy of your home and the themes you'll encounter while living there.
