How to Pick a Lucky Phone Number

The auspiciousness of a mobile phone number can be analyzed using the Bagua and the Five Elements as they relate to numbers. For most people, learning everything at once can be challenging because it requires some basic knowledge of the Eight Characters (BaZi). To make this easier, this article focuses only on the last four digits of the phone number. If the last four digits form a highly auspicious combination, it’s simple for anyone to check quickly. Here’s how:

First: Add the first two digits; when divided by eight, the remainder should be zero (i.e., it divides evenly). Add the last two digits; when divided by eight, the remainder should be one. Add all four digits; when divided by six, the remainder should be four, five, or six. For example, for 8801, the first two digits leave a remainder of zero (divides evenly), the last two leave a remainder of one, and the sum of all four digits is 17, which leaves a remainder of five when divided by six. Therefore, this number is considered favorable.

Note: In the examples below, the sums of the first two digits and the last two digits produce the same remainders when divided by eight.

Second: Add the first two digits and divide by eight; the remainder should be five. Do the same for the last two digits; the remainder should also be five. Add all four digits and divide by six; the remainder should not be one or four. For example, for 8585, the first two digits leave a remainder of five, the last two also leave a remainder of five, and the sum of all four digits leaves a remainder of two when divided by six. Thus, this combination is considered favorable.

Third: Add the first two digits and divide by eight; the remainder should be two. Do the same for the last two digits; the remainder should also be two. Add all four digits and divide by six; the remainder should not be one or four. For example, for 5555, the sum of all four digits leaves a remainder of two when divided by six.

Fourth: Add the first two digits and divide by eight; the remainder should be three. Do the same for the last two digits; the remainder should also be three. Add all four digits and divide by six; the remainder should not be one or four. For example, for 3038, the sum of all four digits leaves a remainder of two when divided by six.

Fifth: Add the first two digits and divide by eight; the remainder should be four. Do the same for the last two digits; the remainder should also be four. Add all four digits and divide by six; the remainder should be one, four, or six. Other combinations may not be as favorable.
