As I have been saying, I am getting ready to buy a house. I want to do the right thing when choosing a house. Here is a question: The house I am looking at right now is the correct gua number for me. My number is 8 and the house number is 1151, which equals 8. You helped me with how to do this in my previous question. My question is this: Is is more important to be in a house with the appropriate gua number or is it more important to have the house in one of the four good directions - if the two are different (i.e. -the gua is good, but the direction is not so good). With my gua as 8, the house number equalling 8, the direction is barely NE of the main door. I will find out exactly the degrees. But, is this ok? To have a good gua number, and not worry about the direction? Or vice versa? Thank you in advance.

In general, the auspicious house number has least influence over the house. It probably will affect the resale value of the house. For example houses with 4 will find it harder to sell simply because most buyers will avoid 4 (die in cantonese). Compared to a house number that is 8, most people will often choose this first, thus easier to sell.

So you should go for a more suitable facing as that will impact how much luck you can get from the house. The more suitable the house, your luck will generally be better and thus, things will go well for you. So always go for the better more suitable and better location houses as these will ultimately be more important than house number.

You should only look at house number when you have two units which are good and not sure which to go.

Hope that helps.
