A friend wrote this and emailed it this morning. Interesting food for thought, no matter what you think of numerology, IMO:

Today is the Ninth day of the Ninth month in 2009, or 090909. It’s a big deal!

The Chinese use numerology to help understand the significance of particular events, and particularly honor endings as that is the stage for beginnings. This is especially exemplified by the number 9, because it is the last number in the natural series from 0 – 9, which means it is about completion. Over time, the number has become linked with fulfillment, endings, conclusions, completion and finishing up loose ends.

In the Western world, the field of numerology also attributes positive qualities to the number 9 – it means an evolutionary point at which you are poised to create something new as you finish what has been. The number nine is the ‘oldest’ in the series which means that, as in life, the elder has seen and learned the lessons of all the other phases of life and now innately understands how to respond to and care for others; the number nine is humanitarian in nature.


The shadow side of number nine is the awareness that there needs to be an end to many situations (relationships, careers, life choices, etc.) which may not be easy. There is potentially grief left in the wake of endings as you recognize what you are leaving behind as well as the emptiness that comes from making space through completions. It’s time to reconnect with and face the emotions that created what you need to let go of because you cannot move forward if you are holding on to the past. This is not about creating drama, or performing, but about authentic and complete release of what no longer serves you.

Nine can be about humanity and giving to others, but it can also be about cruelty as the emotional energy surrounding your endings pushes to the surface for awareness (and healing). Remember that nine is the most ‘advanced’ number, so you have the power of choice in the way you handle our transitions.

Also, the total of today’s number – 090909 – is 27. This is one of the most auspicious numbers for making change in Feng Shui, as many rituals last for 27 days. It is amazing how many changes you can make in just 27 days! One ritual for creating change in your life is to move or change one item in your home or office daily for 27 days in a row – by shifting your physical space, you are moving the energy in your life.

If you choose to honor what needs to end in your life and business today, you are creating the space for what is trying to come in; that is, you have cosmic timing on your side to help you complete the loose ends and get ready for the new.

Three Ways to Activate the Power of 090909:

1. Take action on letting go of what needs to end in your life. If you have tolerations, or things you are putting up with, that is a place to start. That might mean the squeaky door in your house, the friendship that feels draining, the business routine that seems pointless and isn’t getting you the results you want. What do you need to end, or complete, that will allow something new to come in? By the by, endings don’t have to be harsh… they just need to be authentic, honest and clear.

2. Call the infinite power of the Universe into your life through fire. Fire is a powerful symbol of transformation, and is used in many rituals to clear away energy that is no longer needed. You can light a candle and release in your mind’s eye what you don’t need any more into the candle to purify that energy and let it go from your energy space.

You can also write out what you want to release (regrets, fears, haunting memories) and burn that piece of paper as you request the Universe to take that energy from you and cleanse it. Or you can just enjoy the peace and serenity of a candle for a few moments as you recall the best parts of whatever it is that you are releasing. In any case, invite the Universe to support you in your transition.

3. Use the number 9 symbolically in your environment. You can get 9 tealight candles or a picture of 9 things or even draw the number 9 and hang it where you can see it comfortably from your desk. By placing the number 9 in your space, you are referencing and invoking the number of completion. It is especially powerful today… essentially, you are jump-starting your ability to tie up the loose ends in preparation for all the new that’s getting ready to enter your life.

One last tip: if you are out of alignment with any endings or completions that either need to happen or that need to be released, this is the most auspicious day to get that handled. What could be better than getting yourself harmonically aligned with your endings on the cosmically most auspicious day for completion?

In many traditions 9 is related to the moon, possibly the first means of mesuring time and planing rituals humans had in ancient time ( there is a theory that the "biblical" age of Methusalem and the likes mentioned in AT is referring rather to moon-years than to sun-years).

In Tarot the trump Nr 9 is the Hermit. As 9 is my personal number and for this the Hermit is my personal card I spent quite some time contemplating over it.(first I didn't like at all to be "bound" to be a hermit *gg*). It's a card of someone who's found his inner light, is aware of his strenght but also of his weeknesses and fears. 'Cause of this awareness he is able to deal with his fears, actually control them somewhat and isn't daunted by them. The Hermit is about being strong enough and having learned from experiences enough to live by his own - as long as he likes that is. He isn't depending on anyone or anything, knowing full well when it's time to leave someone or something behind (well, quite a task for someone to reach*gg*). So I found most of the things you wrote about the 9 there too.

Hugs and greets
