Dear Cecil:
I'd love you to give me some answers on a topic that's bothering me quite a lot.I know that #5 is bad , but my address number is 5551.Is there anything i can do to remedy this? thanks

Dear Carlos,
1. Numerology can be highly subjective.
2. And it should preferably not be used in most instances. This is because even in Chinese Numeroloy, the interpretation can be pretty diverse.
3. To give you an example:
Although, one constantly hear of #5 as bad or `evil' under Flying Star Feng Shui; it is specific to this domain only.
4. For example, #5 also represents the harmony of the Five elements or the Five elements concept: Water, Wood, Fire, Metal and Earth element.
4. Thus, if one asks only a person skilled in Flying Star, he/she may concur and say that anything to do with 5 or double or triple 5's are no good.
5. But on the other hand, another practitioner who users Five Elements or may not be aware of Flying Star will say that 5 is indeed good.
6. In fact, some Feng Shui practitioners favour 5 and make recommendations like:-
"It is good to have a 5 bulb lighting at a specific location". Where the practitioner considers number 5 as representing all the 5 elements in harmony. And light is considered good qi."
"Some Feng Shui practitioners also recommend, a plate of 5 elements e.g. red, blue, green, yellow and white or gold in specific locations" And this represents " Five " (five elements).
7. Therefore, on one hand, 5 can be considered as `bad' while on the other hand 5 can be considered as bad.
The best recourse is to ignore, numerology altogether. As it is of secondary importance.
8. The main important consdieration of a house is: if there is a problem " fix the leak ". This is the first priority. Thus even if we try to enhance the house, but if there is a leak, no matter what is done, the leak may lead to a serious crack...
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
