Today, “The Operator” is sharing her thoughts on the numerology of street addresses. Having moved multiple times over many years, The Operator can anticipate the effect of address numerology on lives. Here’s her blog post:
Choosing real estate is tricky. It's easy to become overwhelmed with available options. You can simplify the process by knowing the characteristics of different street address numbers. When you know which numbers interest you, you can skip looking at all the other available homes.
I've moved more times than years I've been alive (which is 46), so I've had a lot of opportunities to collect data on different address numbers. I started by reading about the numbers in classic numerology, and then I modified my understanding by real-world experience.
First, to find the number of a house or other property, add together all the digits:
For example, if your house number is 10215, do this:
1 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 5 = 9
Your house has a Nine energy.
If the digits add up to a multi-digit number, add those digits together. Add together the digits of any number you have, until you end up with a single digit.
Sometimes, there are more than one number in your address.
For example, if your apartment building is 608, and your apartment is #232, do this:
6 + 0 + 8 = 14; 1 + 4 = 5 building number
2 + 3 + 2 = 7 apartment number
5 + 7 = 12; 1 + 2 = 3 building and apartment combined
Your building has a Five energy, so the basic feel of the community of the building is a Five.
Your apartment has a Seven energy, so it's easy for you to live in a Seven style in your apartment. The combination of the building and the apartment is a Three, so the overall experience of your life while you live in this apartment will be in the style of Three.
How the different numbers feel:
Nine is a great number for a primary residential house. Some systems say there tends to be arguing in a Nine house, so for a while I thought that maybe Nine wasn't so good, but I've changed my mind to thinking it's great. Here's why: Nine houses don't come up for sale very often, because they tend to be the house that's the solid, stable center of operations for a family for multiple generations. I realized that the reason there's arguing in a Nine house is that having arguments is part of being a family. That's fine. It's better than being isolated away from one another. A lot of awesome things happen in a Nine house, too. Expect a Nine house to be the reliable home of the family for many decades.
Currently, I'm renting a room in a Nine house. This house is home to the two longest-term residents of all the little houses crowded together on my little lot. Two of the four of us recently moved in, and already the home environment has a solid, stable family feeling. I think our house may have been the original one on the lot, before it was built out.
In general, 3-6-9 are the best houses to buy. Of these three, Nine is the longest-term, Six next, and Three the shortest.
Six is fairly stable and safe. The problem with Six homes is that communication is impaired. Sixes are safe, which is nice, but nobody wants to discuss anything uncomfortable. Maybe if your work life has a lot of negotiation and problem-solving in it, you might want to live alone in a Six house. Then, when you go home, nobody will bother you.
Three is exciting, surprising, and generally pleasant. The problem with Three is that projects aren't completed. Consequently, your life could be interesting and fun in Three home, but you might end up frustrated. It's important to consider how spicy you want your home life to feel and how much you care about accomplishing things, before choosing a Three.
Sevens are great if you want to rest, be quiet, and enjoy your surroundings. I owned a condominium in a Six complex, but my One unit number made my home a Seven. I enjoyed being a peaceful Seven/One wrapped in a safe Six.
Seven is the best for inner spiritual work and recovery from trauma. The most beautiful, peaceful times in my life have been in Seven homes, although I was very isolated from my peers every time. I have a hermit-like temperament, so Seven works for me. I imagine some people wouldn't enjoy the quietude of a Seven home.
I'll mention that at the Six condo complex, our home owners' association was completely dysfunctional, because nobody wanted to talk things through. It did feel very safe on the grounds, though.
Watch out for Fours and Eight properties. There are usually plenty of Fours on the market, I've noticed. When you ask a Four owner why they're selling, the answer is always that the house is too much work. Four is a place that's a lot of work, and you never get ahead. Work, work, work. If work is how you avoid relationships, a Four house may be good for you. Otherwise, I recommend you avoid the Four house. I would expect a Four apartment building to have ongoing maintenance problems.
Eights, on the other hand, are a lot of work, but you do get ahead. There was a year when I was isolated way out of town, completely alone but for my two infants. I had an insane amount of work to do all the time – it was very difficult -- but I did an amazing job. I did a really good job, and my children's well-being attests to this. My children's father was hired by a new company shortly after we moved there. His sudden change to long hours was part of the reason for my isolation. This new company operated on a grander scale than where he'd worked before. It was much more work than he was used to, but being with this company opened doors for him to move and to expand his region to multiple states.
This year of hard work for us happened in an Eight house owned by a real estate investment company with many rental properties in multiple states. The fact that a big, successful company owned the property is also a reflection of the Eight. Eight is a good address to buy if your plan is to make money with the property. Work hard and get results -- that's the Eight.
My most recent home was a Five, and the room I stay in now has a Five number on the door. I'm living in a Five room within a Nine house, which makes a Five life ( 5 + 9 = 14; 1 + 4 = 5). Five is a consistently joyful place, but, unfortunately, it's persistently disorganized. There's no way to get a stable system going in a Five home. You organize a part of the house one way, and then a few months later your life changes and you have to change your organization system. It's hard to find things. Some of your belongings maybe never even make it out of their boxes. It's best not to have many belongings when you live in a Five home, because they're too hard to keep track of.
Five is definitely fun, but I think it would be overly aggravating for someone who needs a lot of physical order in her environment. Flexibility is the key to a Five. People move in and out. It's basically happy and positive, but nothing lasts especially long.
My Five house turned out to be a good place for me to go through a lot of grieving, because the house itself was a sunny, happy place. I was able to grieve without getting depressed. I had many social gatherings at my Five home, with friends who didn't mind the disarray. When it felt like time to go, I found it fairly easy to pack up, sell the house, and move on with my life. Five is energizing.
Two I'm not sure about: Pleasant or not? I don't see people living in Two homes being very happy, but I do see some of them being quite successful in their work life. A friend of mine's apartment building is a Five, but his apartment number is a Six, so it's an Eleven in total. Eleven is an especially powerful version of Two. The best thing my friend ever has going is his professional life. There are many negotiations in his professional life, but when he goes home to his Six-feeling (safe but won't discuss anything) apartment, he turns off any difficult thoughts.
In traditional numerology, Two is the number of partnership. Consequently, you would expect that a Two home would be a good place to have a partnership. This is not what I've seen, however. I've only known lonely individuals with good professional success to live in them. It seems that Two is good for a split life, meaning that everything involving other people is outside your home. At home, you're in a different world. Residents of Two homes don't ever seem to have guests over.
One is a wildcard. Traditional numerology says that One is for new ventures. What I've seen in One homes is a huge variety of lifestyles, anything imaginable. Some people live in them for long periods, some for medium amounts of time, and some move on fast. Every type of experience can be found in a One home, including strong families, individual entrepreneurs, hermits, scholars, cults, party homes, intentional communities (of varying degrees of success), abusive relationships with lots of screaming, and peaceful healing retreats. My interpretation of this is that One is a blank slate on which you can draw whatever life you want. If you don't want to do any thinking or planning at home, then I don't recommend that you move into a One. It would feel like work to you. If you're someone with your own style, full of ideas about what you'd like to create in your life, then a One would suit you fine.
These numbers also apply to area codes and zip codes. You can guess the feel of a region by its zip code, after you use addition to reduce the zip code to a single digit. Telephone area codes tell you the feel of larger regions.
If you move around a lot and pay attention to the numbers, you can figure out your sweet spot for how you like to live. I notice that I tend to enjoy living in Nine zip codes, even though my personal life might be more surprising and changeable than the Nine energy. I suppose I enjoy playing out my variable life within a stable surrounding environment. Maybe people who enjoy being spectators would prefer a stable, somewhat boring life at home within a volatile community.
Real estate agents have found me confusing, but I've always ended up happy with my home purchases. I don't need to spend tons of time looking at properties that I know aren't going to be right. Even if a property looks excellent on paper, I won't touch it if it's a Four! I do the same with Two, because I love having guests over. Another reason I avoid Two is that I like for my work life and home life to be intertwined. Such intermingling wouldn't happen harmoniously in a Two home.
Reviewing the addresses of places you've lived in the past helps to clarify which numbers feel best to you. Different numbers could be appropriate at different times in your life, as your focus changes. While I can't claim there's a causative relationship between our life experiences and our address numbers, I've collected enough observational data to provide the above correlations with confidence.

Interesting, eh? I live in a 6 home and am very happy here.
