From ancient Indian Vedic philosophies to cultures across the globe, numerology has found its way into shaping the architecture and energies of homes. It is believed that the numbers and alphabets adorning certain houses are not mere coincidences but rather carefully selected to attract positive energy and prosperity for the residents. Let’s delve into the intriguing world of house numerology:
To understand the numerology of your home address, let’s consider an example. Suppose your name is Rohan Sharma and your residential address is 27/8 Patel Nagar, New Delhi. To calculate the numerological number of this address, we begin by examining the street number, which is 27. We then sum the digits: 2 + 7 = 9. Next, we consider the house number, which is 8. Finally, we combine the digit sum of the street number (9) and the house number (8) – 9 + 8 = 17. If the final sum is a two-digit number, we add those digits together – 1 + 7 = 8. Thus, the numerological number of the address 27/8 Patel Nagar is 8.
In numerology, each digit from 1 to 9 holds a special meaning and importance in the numerology chart. The number 8 is associated with wealth, business, money, and power. According to numerologists, the number 8 in an address can be auspicious, bringing wealth, success in careers/businesses, and financial progress for the family residing there.
The numerical values assigned to houses have been prevalent since ancient times in cultures like India, China, Greece, and Egypt. This practice is based on the assumption that the environments we inhabit influence our lives and health through the frequencies they produce. In the Indian context, the principles of house numerology are deeply rooted in Vaastu Shastra, the Vedic architectural science that emphasizes the construction of homes and buildings in geometric patterns and directions that facilitate the flow of positive universal energy or ‘praana’.
According to the ancient Indian knowledge system, various numbers are associated with ruling planets, elements, deities, and specific characteristics that can impact human life in different ways. For example, Number 1 is associated with the Sun, representing self, independence, and ambition. Number 2 is governed by the Moon, symbolizing emotions, intuition, and relationships. Number 3 is associated with Jupiter, representing growth, enthusiasm, and creativity. Practitioners believe that the number assigned to your home address can amplify or diminish certain energies and aspects of your life.
In Indian house numerology, there are various methods to arrive at the numerological number for your address. According to the Cardinal direction method, each direction, such as East, North, and so on, is assigned a number, which is then added to the numerical value of the address. Additionally, special numerical charts/codes such as the Kali Bhairavi numerology system can be used, where each alphabet name or street name is assigned a particular numeric value. Another approach involves examining compounds formed by consecutive numbers in the address, such as 27, 35, etc., which are given new cumulative meanings.
As per Vastu Shastra and beliefs, the North/East direction is considered more auspicious and preferable than other directions. Another aspect to consider is comparing the numerical value of the address with other personal numbers, such as Psychic/Life Path/Destiny numbers that can be obtained from the date of birth. Some individuals prefer certain ‘favorable’ ending numbers like 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 for their addresses.
If the numerological value of your home or office address is not particularly favorable, there are several Vaastu remedies and corrective measures you can consider. These may include placing specific objects, deities, symbols, or geometrical yantra patterns related to the ruling number at the main door or inside the house. Painting the door/entrance areas in colors corresponding to the desired number can also be beneficial. Another option is to use auspicious alphabets and numbers or fix number plates with the lucky number on them. In commercial spaces, selecting merchandise brand names or logos that include those numbers is recommended.
Rituals and pujas can be performed to invoke the ruling deities/cosmic forces of the number at your doorstep. In extreme situations, it may be necessary to change the street/house number entirely. Vastu practitioners often recommend an energy recharge or shanti puja ceremony to be conducted at least once a year to reinforce the numerical strength of the house.
The next time you encounter a house with a peculiar number, remember that it is probably not a mere coincidence. The number has likely been selected with care, considering its numerological significance and the cosmic calculations that have been a part of ancient Indian sciences for centuries.
