According to feng shui, the number 4 is not necessary bad. Some people lucky number is 4 according to the "Zi Wei Duo Su".
According to Chinese & Jews numerology, No. 4 is an auspicous number.
For example, the " powerful " Flying Star theory analyses number 1 to 9 either on it's own or a combination of these numbers and no. 4 by itself is always considered an auspcious number or even in combination with other good numbers like 1, 8 or 6.
The number that are not auspicious are instead no. 3, 5 or 2 and if it is not the period 7, then no. 7.
Therefore, it is indeed a blessing in disguise that your number 4 or 4444 are not what it seems. This is the comment from feng shui master in the forum below.
