What Makes a Number Beautiful?
Here’s how different numbers are interpreted:
- 1 – Solid (certainty)
- 2 – Forever (eternity)
- 3 – Wealth
- 4 – Death (due to its similarity in pronunciation to the word for “death” in Cantonese)
- 5 – Five (or “sleep”)
- 6 – Prosperity
- 7 – Loss
- 8 – Wealth or Success
- 9 – Surplus or Completion
This often leads to interesting interpretations. For example, while many Vietnamese enthusiasts of betting numbers favor the phone number 78 (which represents “Land God”), it’s less liked by the Chinese due to its pronunciation being similar to “seven-eight,” which can imply “failure.”
Beautiful and Memorable Phone Numbers According to Feng Shui
- Numbers like 0, 1, and 9 only have significant meanings when paired with other numbers. The number 1 symbolizes beginnings and should be at the start, while 9 symbolizes endings and should be at the end.
For instance, a number like 040404 (which can be interpreted as “no death”) may be valued more than 141414 (which could imply “certain death”).
- 9: Considered beautiful as it represents the ultimate end of the eternal sequence of numbers 0-9.
- 8: Symbolizes wealth and success. However, those working in government or legal fields might find it slightly ominous as it resembles the number 8-shaped handcuffs.
- 6: Represents prosperity. It’s best avoided in combinations like 69 or 96, which are associated with LGBTQ+ symbolism.
- Combinations like 68 (prosperity and growth) or 86 (growth and prosperity) are considered good.
- 4: Disliked by the Chinese due to its similarity in pronunciation to the word for “death.” However, it has other meanings such as the word for “breast.” Nokia, a globally recognized mobile phone company, avoids using the number 4 in its model names due to superstition about bad luck.
- 39, 79: Associated with the God of Wealth. 39 represents the minor God of Wealth, while 79 represents the major God of Wealth.
- 38, 78: Associated with the Land God. Be cautious with 78 as it sounds like “failure” in Cantonese.
- 7: Represents loss or failure, while 8 stands for success. Together as 78, it might imply failure.
- 37, 77: Associated with the Heaven God.
- 40, 80: Related to the Kitchen God or Fire.
- 17, 57, 97: Associated with the Crane, symbolizing longevity.
- 0: Represents Yin, suitable for women. In contrast, 9 represents Yang, suitable for men. Combining them as 09 symbolizes harmony between Yin and Yang.
- 07: Associated with the piglet.
- 10, 50, 90: Represent the Water Dragon.
- 26, 66: Represent the Flying Dragon.
- 03, 43, 83: Considered less favorable. Similarly, 22, 62 are also less ideal.
- 35: Represents the Goat.
- 21: Represents a negative connotation (“prostitute”).
- 19, 59, 99: Associated with the Butterfly, representing beauty.
- 32, 72: Associated with gold or the “snake,” which can be dangerous.
- 33, 73: Associated with money, but also with the spider, which can create confusion or complications in life and love.
- 36, 76: Associated with monks or temple figures.
- 31: Often linked with impotence, as it symbolizes “the thing” and 1 is also associated with homosexuality.
- 2, 42, 82: Associated with the snail, symbolizing slowness.
- 12, 52, 92: Represent the horse, symbolizing speed.
There are many other examples, but their significance can depend on the context in which they are used. If you end up with an unfavorable number, it’s best to sell it rather than hold onto it regretfully. Thus, it’s important to research thoroughly before purchasing a phone number.
**For a phone number to be both aesthetically pleasing and Feng Shui compliant, remember that a beautiful number is not always the best fit for you. Some people spend a lot of money on a “beautiful” number without fully understanding its significance or suitability. Besides these general interpretations, harmony between Yin and Yang and the Five Elements should be considered, something only experienced Feng Shui experts can accurately assess. Additionally, while automatic phone number analysis software can help, its accuracy and reliability might not be high, so avoid blindly trusting these tools.
The Number Sequence 1368
The sequence 1368 is considered very special. In Feng Shui, 1 symbolizes birth, 3 symbolizes wealth, and 68 symbolizes prosperity, making 1368 a highly favorable sequence for business people. Moreover, 1368 has a unique characteristic: 123 + 456 + 789 = 1368. This represents three consecutive number groups adding up to 1368, which can be seen as a balanced representation of both good and bad numbers, reflecting the most selective part of the natural number sequence. Additionally, 1368 avoids negative numbers like 4 and 7, creating a harmonious balance (with 1 and 3 being Yin numbers and 6 and 8 being Yang numbers), and represents steady progress.
