• Number 0: Represents beginnings, completion, and fullness.
• Number 1: Symbolizes uniqueness, peak achievement, and success.
• Number 2: Signifies balance, harmony, and favorable circumstances.
• Number 3: Suggests stability, growth, and wealth.
• Number 4: Often avoided due to its similar pronunciation to the word “death” in Vietnamese.
• Number 5: Represents power, status, and longevity.
• Number 6: Brings luck, wealth, and prosperity.
• Number 7: Embodies strength, authority, and overcoming challenges.
• Number 8: Symbolizes prosperity, abundance, and wealth.
• Number 9: Represents longevity, eternity, and fulfillment.

Calculating a Feng Shui Compliant License Plate

There are various ways to calculate a feng shui license plate, the most common being adding all the digits together.

For example: With the license plate 30F – 123.45, the calculation would be: 3 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 18. Then, 1 + 8 = 9.

The final result (in this case, 9) is then interpreted:

• Number 1: Extremely lucky, everything goes as planned.
• Number 2: Duality, balance of yin and yang.
• Number 3: Wealth and luck.
• Number 4: Facing difficulties and challenges.
• Number 5: Growth and development.
• Number 6: Prosperity and wealth.
• Number 7: Bankruptcy and failure.
• Number 8: Prosperity and wealth.
• Number 9: Longevity and fulfillment.
