What can you say about my street number 124.Is it good or bad?

Dear Arlene,
1. Whether a street number or house number is considered auspicious, inauspicious or `neutral' can be a very subjective question.
2. For the Chinese dialect group i.e. Cantonese, 444 suggest die, die, die. Thus some people take the literal or phonetic sound of the word and feel that because of this, a number may be bad.
3. On the other hand, some Feng Shui Flying Star practitioners may feel that no. 2 which implies Sickness and no. 5 misfortune as bad.
4. While another Feng Shui practitioner may consider 5 auspicious because it represents the Five Elements i.e. Metal, Water, Wood, Earth and Fire elements.
5. Thus, one man's meat may be another man's poison.
6. In my country and region, it is `interesting' to find some house owners `re-letter' their house numbers.
Take an example of the attached file (will not be shown for those who subscribe thru mailing list). In this attachment, you will find that for example, a house no. is 444.
The owner, has re-lettered the number e.g. on his main entrance pillar to:
4
4
4
Here, it symbolically implies (reading from left to right; the 4 is gradually rising and this implies upwards or up/up or raise.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Further to what I mentioned earlier, there are many ways of looking at the nos:
1. If we add up 1 + 2 + 4 = 7. Since we are in Period 7 (1983 to 2004), the combined nos 1, 2 & 4 which is 7 can be seen as good or auspicious for this period.
However, the argument by others is that no. 7 should be one of the nos instead of adding it up. Thus perhaps a house no. 127 is better?
2. We can look at your house no. based on Yin and Yang concept:
2.1 Where Yin nos are considered even numbers while odd nos are considered Yang.
Thus your house number is made up of:
1, 2, 4 which is
1 = Yang
2 = Yin
4 = Yin
Where 1 is considered a starting number or symboically the beginning. Where 0 is not considered a no. because it is considered " zero" or non existing.
Two (YIN) is considered auspicious such as the double happiness symbol and Twos are considered a pair.
Four is another YIN number and is considered auspicious as it imples a square or rectangle and is the common shape of good sites and buildings.
Thus, based on the symbolic view of the numbers as mentioned above, this is another way of looking at the numbers 1, 2 & 4.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
