Just like determining the number of stairs according to Javanese astrology, Feng Shui also has its own special calculation method. This means that the number of stairs according to Feng Shui is not simply odd in number. According to Feng Shui, the number of stairs that is considered good is if when divided by the number 5, it produces a remainder of 1 or 2 (for example, 11, 12, 16, 17, and so on).
The belief is that a remainder of 1 can represent birth, while a remainder of 2 represents great luck.
On the other hand, a remainder of 3, 4, and 5 is considered to have negative meanings. A remainder of 3 is believed to represent illness, a remainder of 4 represents death, and a remainder of 5 represents a miserable life.
