feeling too scattered from living in a 3-House, then moving to a
4-House may be just what the doctor ordered. The number 4 has the
energy of being stable, reliable, sturdy, grounded, organized, and productive. A 4-House will often be shaped like a sturdy box, similar to a four-square house. It is a great home or office space to start a new business or relationship. It provides a solid foundation on which to build.
A 4-House will also have the energy of Mother Earth and be very
grounding for its occupants. It is therefore a great space for someone
who tends to be ungrounded, flighty, or has a hard time working on the
physical plane. It can help with manifesting ideas into reality.
The biggest challenge with a 4-House is that it can be all work and
no play. It is important for the occupants to be conscious to build in
playtime and avoid overworking themselves. You can see how numbers
3 and 4 are virtually opposites of one another. This shows up through-
out numerology. Numbers one and two are mirrors for one another as
are three and four, five and six, seven and eight, and the number 9 being the grandmaster number. Each is the yin or yang for the other.
Number 5
A 5-House will embody the energy of activity, change, travel, adven-
ture, and energy. It is a yang number that will always involve lots of
movement and activity. In fact, the number 5 is the most energetic of
all numbers and is most akin to the energy of change. When I see the
numbers 555 together, for example, on a digital clock, it is an indication to me that change is coming into my life and/or globally on the planet.
Both of the houses I grew up in were 5-Houses (113 and 131). It
is not surprising, since my mother, who set the tone for the family,
has lots of energy. Growing up, there was constant activity and lots of travel. This is the tell-tale sign of a 5-space. It can be like Grand Central Station with people coming and going. The number 5 also holds the energy of knowledge, communication, and writing, particularly regarding
travel, other cultures, or new and interesting ideas.
The high energy of a 5-space can be challenging to feel settled or
grounded. It can create the tendency to move through life too quickly

and be challenging to enjoy the present moment in a 5-House. A
5-space can be very good for a storefront as it will attract lots of foot traffic and stay busy.
Number 6
The number six holds the vibration of love, service, compassion, cre-
ativity, and artistry. A 6-House is truly a home with heart. This energy will be apparent in everything its inhabitants do from the arts to social responsibility. A 6-Home is often recognizable by its exterior with an inviting front porch, a birdhouse in the tree for the animals, and perhaps some creative art in the front yard. It will often be the most artistic and cozy house on the block.
A 6-House is a great home in which to raise a family as you will
often see a 6-House filled with children. On the social scene, while wild raucous parties take place in the 5-House, the 6-House will host the
intimate dinner party with friends while sharing stories of traveling to orphanages in Africa. Artfully prepared food and wine from a visited
winery will accompany the meal.
Inhabitants of a 6-House love their home so much that their big-
gest challenge is to not become reclusive. Another challenge is that the home can be so heart-oriented that it can be a challenging home for
material success. It would not be complimentary to someone whose
objective was to make lots of money. However, it would be perfect for
someone who wants to be more in touch with their heart and passions
in life, which of course can lead to much success. It is a great home in which to have a service-based business, particularly one that is heart-based. With regard to a business, it is best for office space with healing-based practitioners, such as psychotherapists, chiropractors, or
