The Numerology of Your Home
I love working with this as an additional tool for alignment. Much like we want to honor our Human Design Environment and what our Natal chart calls for, when we understand the energy of our home (and our land) and work WITH it… we automatically step into greater flow. And like we do with profections and working in alignment with our cosmic weather for the year we can do similarly with the energy of our home. We can LEAN IN to the energetic promise we made when we moved to this land (and were most likely called to in the first place for the energy it offers and light we bring to it). It is not just where you live, but a relationship, that can help you step more fully into your purpose and highest timeline. Think about creating an altar, aligned Feng Shui activations and intentional outlets for the energy.
You calculate the numerology of your home by adding all of the individual numbers of your physical street address together until you reach a single number. So if for example you live at 1032 Live Oak then 1 + 0 + 3 + 2 = 6. If you live at 1932 Live Oak then 1 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 15 and 1 + 5 = 6 so you live in a 6 home.

in closing
Set the intention for your home to vibrate in alignment with its energetic number. If you are in a home that you do not feel aligned with the energy you can invite it to shift by adding a letter to your address (even if not legally registered) - be mindful each has its own numerical correspondence (A=1, B=2, and so on). Or add a small number on your door to shift the vibes. Choose a number that fits the vibe you’d like to call in (based on the above descriptions) or that will balance the one you currently have and place it on the inside of your door. For example if you are craving more abundance, you might place a small 8 on the inside of your door. If you are an artist and want to connect the home to more creative and joyful energy, you would place a 3. You may also find you want to change the energy if it’s not aligned with your personal numerology or the season you’re in… if say you are craving stability but living in a 5 home or building a business but living in a 9 - in these cases you will want to fine tune.
You might also work with numeric codes (more on this soon). For example to align with abundance and flow you can write 1172314 on a small piece of paper and place under your door mat or under a clear quartz stone you place next to your front door, or written on a sticky note in your office, etc…
Contemplate ways you might support this energy with Feng Shui and how it might work with your Human Design Environment?
