Nine

The number Nine is a triple of Three, and therefore, close to creation.

It is also the planet Mars. Nine-people are fighters and don’t avoitl conflicts. Willpower, assertiveness, and the desire for independence is the key to their life. On the negative side. Nine-people have a tendency to be domineering, have a violent temper, are often careless, and—in a subordinate position—easily discouraged. Their impulsiveness and thoughdess, sharp words often inflict emotional pain on sensitive people. They have enormous strength—and are passionate and impulsive. Many exceptional traits could be developed, if concentration and a strong will would work together.

In general, the number Nine is a symbol for the end of a certain developmental and growing phase in your life. Nine is the end of the numbers—after that come numbers on a higher plane.

For instance, a pregnancy is completed after the ninth month.

See Mars.

Nine-people have birthdays on the 9th, 18di, and 27th day of the month.

As it is the last sign digit, nine can suggest reconciliation, completion and the accomplishment of a creative task. As three times three, it has a sacred wholeness as the number of total perfection and balance. In the West, nine is considered to be the number of eternity; in India, it is the number of God and Yogi who will leave the wheel of birth and death. In dreams, the number nine suggests the end of one cycle and the beginning of another but it can also suggest lack of concentration. Pregnancy is usually of nine-months’ duration, so your dreaming mind may be suggesting a preoccupation with birth and babies. Nine is the number of the Hermit card in the Tarot pack and as such can suggest solitude and introspection.
