THE NUMBERS GO TREKKING!
A lighthearted peek at understanding numbers
Let’s understand numbers through your desire to go trekking! Number
1 is that part of you which gets the idea! And goes ah lets do it! And
leaps off the bed in enthusiasm, getting things together immediately!
Not listening to any advice, and very clear (passionately so) that no
matter how daring it seems-it can be done! And then, comes 2! Choices
must be made, which trail to select, should I go alone or with friends
(two will always choose the friend!) and umm do I really want to go?
Part of me yearns to do so, for deep within me the mountains are calling
out to me, and it’s almost an emotional thing! And even as I make the
choice do I become number 3. One and two together am I, and as its
offspring and unity of purpose, I quickly start the climb… up, up, up!
The trek unravels beautifully, and all is growing and lush and profuse
around me. And then as 4 I have reached somewhere; and in that I rest. I
even build a tent, and feel safe and secure. But just as this comfort
zone is about to lull the four into complacency, instead of further
striving up the hill, there comes along number 5! The desire for more,
but not quite sure what that more is! And thus its inner (and outer)
conflicts and challenges! The trail is suddenly not so smooth or easy,
and yet as five you must move on past this to reach the success of 6!
For here, as six, you have arrived! Indeed reached a peak and all is
just as beautiful as you had hoped. There are streams, and flowers and
other trekkers to mingle with and love is in the air! But now is the
journey back home, and down hill seems tougher than uphill and this is
the task of 7! Deeper challenges than 5, yet more strength to handle it!
A certain sense of bravado also, an urge to take the risky shortcut,
but some inner wisdom keeps you on track. And at 8 you are almost back
to terra firma (and the goal of the trek being achieved) - and as you
review the tent you had built at 4 you realize through the experience
you have gained, that you can indeed make it a more solid cabin. You are
ready to work hard, for you know this will be a permanent thing! And
once that is done, at nine you enjoy the rewards of the trek- crystals
you had collected, the rare herbs you have amassed, the stunning
photographs and in this you feel deeply fulfilled! Its all come to pass,
and you now know it was successful. And so comes ten, an ending as you
go home, and yet within it a new beginning, a new cycle, a new peak to
explore and enjoy from this vantage position, for you know you won’t
start from scratch-next time!
THE MAGIC OF NUMBER 1
The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create." Leonard I. Sweet One is symbolized by the sun!
And has within it the power and force to make nothing into something.
Its success lays in its will to be; in its boldness of purpose, and most
of all in its individuality and single mindedness of being. For at
deeper levels, at 1, there is no other.
Conjure in your minds eye, what it is like when everything is one.
There are no others to consider or align with, no differences, and that
is why number 1 people are self willed. And yet it is because of this,
unfettered as they are by any such dissipation of its energies, that the
1, geometrically symbolized as a point (of pure brilliance), can burst
into becoming everything –and this is the raw energy number 1 people
have, including the tendency to be bold, original and dynamic. Action
and impetus, another characteristic of number 1 people, arises from this
clarity- for clearness of purpose, automatically leads to confident
action. Which but naturally leads to success and thus can number 1
people be easily successful if they utilize their strengths!
Each
number has its strengths and challenges and your role is to move into
its balanced energy in personal ways, befitting your unique station in
life. Thus the above mentioned dynamic energy of 1, in
imbalance can be its flipside: dictatorial impatient, intolerant, and
selfish- with and an arrogant and almost aggressive me first attitude!
Other influences: As the first zodiac sign, all Aries have
a touch of 1 in them- and all 1’s have a touch of Aries! It is
masculine number and can be aggressive and assertive and yet inspiring,
enterprising and endowed with leadership qualities. In tarot the magician, wheel of fortune and sun card
hold the 1’s energies – guiding all 1’s to tap into their potential and
manifest smoothly like the magicians they can be; to ride the wheel of
momentum without losing their centre point of balance, and shine like
the sun that symbolizes them! Sun-like 1’s can be
generous indeed. The risk they run is that 1 energy, in spite of its
potency is pure potential, and like sperm it needs to be earthed into
proper channels to produce tangibly rather than get frittered away! As
the first number, 1 is about new beginnings, either of a
cycle, or a stage in life. It can be a new birthing, and yet like the
seed inherently has the tree within, this beginning if well utilized has
both the goal and its achievement intact within it.
You are a number 1 person if you are born on the 1st, 10th, 19th
of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day,
month and year) adds to a 1. Its energies also play out in your life if
your name totals 1 numerologically.
THE PARADOX OF NUMBER 2
The
Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named
is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and
earth. The named is the mother of ten thousand things. - Lao Tzu Two’s are the moody blues, symbolized by the waning and waxing moon!
Yet like the moon can light up the night sky, 2’s have intuitive wisdom
about matters unknown and unseen. And as the absolute unqualified 1
becomes ‘another’ in 2, to see, seek and know itself better, 2’s very
purpose to exist is this yearning to know self ; and to seek this
through another, in relationship! Divinity, for them is indeed mirrored
in the face of a beloved- be it the significant other or friend, family
or god!
Come conjure with me the paradox of being number 2
- as an extension of number 1, twos’ inherently long to unite and yet
this seeming separation and duality is its reason to be! In this
polarization, 2’s need to explore both currents- explore opposites and
choices and yet come together in unified action and integration rather
than weaken self through conflict, confusion and opposition! This
balance when arrived at can become one of their biggest strengths! A
clue: Practice lightness and interplay rather than ‘this or that’ for 2
extends the original impulse of 1, and thus tends to be very intense!
Tap into the deep reservoir of unconscious wisdom, but don’t get lost in
the illusion, hidden depths and secrets which are part of number 2 as
the foray indeed into duality and Maya!
Each number has its strengths and challenges and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways,
befitting your unique station in life. A balanced 2 energy is
harmonious, cooperative, sensitive, flexible, wise and receptive. They
have a great passive (feminine) power, indeed far more resilient and
durable than the more overt power of 1! They work very well behind the
scenes, and often bring alive the adage “the hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world.” In imbalance 2’s can instead be scheming, overly
sensitive, resentfully resisting, faultfinding, disapproving, interfering and forever vacillating undecided and indeed inactive!
Other influences: Taurus the second zodiac sign bestows on 2’s their love for beautiful and fine things; the Moon imparts its deep emotions and tug to their past. Tarot’s High Priestess
is especially symbolic, describing 2’s deeply hidden and penetrating
powers, wisdom and patience; yet when she is ‘reversed’ she warns that
moods and manipulation can be part of 2. The Judgment card
promises 2’s a constant awakening to higher states of being, fulfilling
their infinite potential as High Priestess; but it is the Justice card
that stands in between as the bridge- guiding them to use its balance
equilibrium and objectivity towards making all that is possible and
probable- real!
You are number 2 if you are born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th
of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day,
month and year) adds to a 2. Its energies also play out in your life if
your name totals 2 numerologically THE AMALGAMTION/SYNTHESIS OF NUMBER 3
As long as men have existed, man has enjoyed himself too little; that alone is our original sin- Friedrich Nietzsch Three arising from the merger of 1 and 2 is a number of syntheses -
harmoniously coming together, blending and creating anew! For when any
two forces come together a unique third is created – and like any new
born it must grow in individual ways! Thus does 3 vibrate to Jupiter the
planet of growth, expansion and movement which bestows on them their
love for travel and freedom of thought speech & action. Indeed 3 is
known as the number of first perfection, because it is here that the
impulse of 1, explored by 2, first takes tangible form (geometrically
the triangle) making 3’s innovative and enterprising! Many ancient
cultures only had names for numbers 1 & 2 with 3 onwards just being
labeled ‘more’- and this plays out in their life as their love for
success and the good things in life!
Come conjure with me the climax of number 3
as the tension of 1 & 2 is released in their union and actual
birthing of what was only potential. Thus is 3 a number of passion and
manifestation- the number of creation indeed- with 3’s usually being
optimistic and cheerful and known to benefit from (and easily attract)
the opposite sex! Yet deep within them they have the ambition and drive
of 1 and the innate wisdom of 2 making them straddle both worlds: the
material and spiritual!
Each number has its strengths and challenges
and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways. A
balanced 3 energy is creative, imaginative, expressive; joyful,
harmonious and tolerant; truthful, enterprising and growth oriented and
yet in imbalance it can swing to being jealous, aggressive, egoistic,
impractical, scattered, exaggerating, volatile and spendthrift!
Other influences: Gemini the third zodiac sign bestows on 3’s their wit and quick mind and Venus imbues them with its magnetism and love of form and beauty! Tarot’s empress
symbolizes their connection to nature and ability to create and enjoy
abundance; yet ‘reversed’ she warns that excess can be part of 3. The hangman
promises 3’s higher states of being if they tap within, and reversed it
shows you the flip side of the altered world through artificial means;
with the world card whispering to them that they can
indeed have it all and create heaven on earth if they choose; yet it is
by remaining connected within and detached externally that they will
truly enjoy their success and not get trapped instead!
You are number 3 if you are born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th
of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day,
month and year) adds to a 3. Its energies also play out in your life if
your name totals 3 numerologically THE MATERIAL POWER OF 4
The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours! Ayn Ryand Four is the number of actualization where the power and potential of 1, actually materializes into physical form!
It is indeed 1 made visible! Representing the inherent order present in
the universe by its 4 directions and seasons, it is number 4 that gives
structure, order and organization to the free flowing 3; and in that it
helps establish the material plane or your dreams in tangible ways!
For it is 4 which adds the cubic depth allowing the corporeal human
experience to come into being; it is the blend of 4 elements at the root
of all physical life; and our 4 limbs that enable the practical labor
involved!
So come conjure with me the solidity of 4,
because for the first time after the burst of 1, exploration of 2 and
creative endeavor of 3 it comes to ‘rest’; the foundations are laid,
concrete grounding is done and there is a feeling of safety, security
and stability in this initial achievement. And in the comfort zone of
these 4 ‘walls’ is the beginning of ‘identity’ - of that which you have
established; that you are; and in deeper terms the introduction of the
human ego or id. And here lies the innate tussle within number 4’s! They
excel in giving structure and definition; or become rigid and limiting
instead! They swing from creating healthy levels of security and
stability to stagnating within it! They wonder incessantly whether to
rest in the accomplishment of who and what they are, or make further
breakthroughs!
Each number has its strengths and challenges and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways.
A balanced 4 energy is persevering, loyal, practical, organized, and
efficient in putting ideas into form, creating foundations that last and
managing material and financial interests with great foresight. In
imbalance it can swing to numbing its emotions and becoming dull,
dreary, thrifty, cautious, uncompromising, narrow minded and lost in
detail.
Other influences: Cancer the fourth zodiac represents the 4s need for comfort zones and hints at their softer underbelly! Tarot’s Emperor reflects the empires 4’s can establish and their inborn regality and larger foresight toward this; the Death
card hints at the need to keep moving on- indeed telling them that it
is through constant change that they can paradoxically best ensure the
stability of their empires-within or external! Uranus makes sure 4’s don’t stagnate, by brushing onto them its erratic touch and the setting Sun
which also symbolizes 4 (as different from the rising sun symbolizing
1) tells them that the sun and its power is finally closer to earth in
actualization... and rest. For the new day that must then begin at 5.
You are number 4 if you are born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st
of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day,
month and year) adds to a 4. Its energies also play out in your life if
your name totals 4 numerologically THE TRANSFORMATION OF FIVE
“When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.” Tuli Kupferburg Five
is the number that wants something ‘more’ but isn’t quite sure what
that more is; only that it’s beyond all that is known and tangible!
And this is only natural, for 5 represents that quintessence which is
literally the fifth indefinable ‘essence’ beyond the 4 known elements of
material life. And thus inherent in number 5 people is their lifelong
yearning; making them the seekers and travelers, always on the go,
looking for constant stimulation - or change! As 5 also symbolizes the
head or human consciousness, it bestows on the simpler 4 limbed man
(with his clear-cut focus on the material world), the abstract mind! And
all it entails- from worry and unpredictability to which 5’s are prone,
to versatility and the higher thought process which 5’s easily display.
So come conjure with me the complexity of number 5
as it begins to move once again after the rest of 4. Conjure the
disruption it entails in breaking free of all that is tried and tested;
conjure the changes it must encompass to prevent the risk of stagnating
in comfort zones; whether it is perceived as unsettling or challenging ;
destruction or release…5’s destiny is in this moving forth. Also
conjure the coming together of these many new forces that make up number
five and in this understand why it’s known as a number of groups! Thus
do fives have the knack to mix easily with various kinds of people and
thus are they empowered with distinct communication skills -to better
enable this interaction!
Each number has its strengths and challenges and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways.
A balanced 5 energy is versatile, multifaceted, freedom loving,
independent, adventurous, adaptable, diplomatic, non-judgmental and
forward thinking! In imbalance it can swing to rebellious, mercurial,
over-indulgent, insatiable, restless thrill seeking, and indeed ending
relationships or commitments erratically and impatiently!
Other influences: Numerologically yin 2 and yang 3 come together in five and in this mating is found their personal chemistry and magnetism! Mercury lends fives its mental acuity, quick thinking and wit; and its quick silver changeability! Leo the fifth zodiac reflects their flair to live life king size! Tarots Hierophant depicts
their love for learning and constant up gradation; their intuitive
knowing and connection with their higher mind. But it is the Temperance card that
portrays fives at their authentic best – for in having found that
quintessence and being transformed through its alchemy, they move into a
finely blended inner balance and its highest potentials of outer
expression! This is symbolized by the 5 pointed star called the pentacle;
with its head in ‘spirit’ and its 4 limbs expressing on the material
plane- the pentacle symbolizes the highest human expression!
You are number 5 if you are born on the 5th; 14th or 23rd
of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day,
month and year) adds to a 5. Its energies also play out in your life if
your name totals 5 numerologically. THE EXALTATION, EXULTATION AND EQUILIBRIUM OF SIX
"What is art? It is a response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real" Rabrindranath Tagore Six can be best described as heaven on earth!
Symbolized by the six pointed star with two inverted triangles
depicting the ancient hermetic truth ‘as above so below’, number six is
at its purest spirit mirroring itself in matter. It is Divinity’s
creative endeavour and expression on the material plane and the beauty
and harmony of form that consciousness chooses to adopt in tangible
ways. 1+2+3=6 and this mating of sprit and matter; this harmonious
blending of spirit, soul and body makes it a number of lasting unity,
marriage and loyalty! It is Pythagoreans second "perfect number", as ‘3’
the first number of form and perfection evolves to its higher symmetry,
balance and beauty only at 6! Perfect also as creation was complete on
the sixth day! Thus are number six people all about love, harmony,
creativity and abundance - they enjoy luxury, revel in love, prioritize
family, beautify hearth and home and maintain in all areas of life a
personal balance and equipoise. As the number of divine expression sixes
are inherently creative with their communication stemming from the
heart, and wisdom (not intellect) being the font of all expression.
So come conjure with me the emergence of 6’s purified consciousness
as it re-stabilizes and restores the equilibrium disrupted at 5; view
its gift of finding solutions and skillful issue resolution; feel its
sense of relief in moving forward; experience its exaltation at
arriving into all things bright and beautiful! Understand why six is
considered lucky and yet know this state of perfection is an oasis;
beautiful and bountiful yes; heaven indeed but a divine appetizer only
to the cosmic order of 8 that consciousness further establish and
experiences on the tangible plane! Thus is six warned not to be self
indulgent; thus do they run the risk of stagnating at having it all; for
if six can be experienced as a wondrous bridge they can paradoxically
have more than everything!
Each number has its strengths and challenges
and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways. A
balanced 6 energy is loving, kind, generous, harmonious, peace-making,
devoted and protective; it is also creative, expressive, wise, balanced
and responsible. In imbalance it can swing into its moody blue shades
of misplaced idealism, self indulgence, stubbornness and possessiveness!
Other influences: Numerologically 2 (unity) into 3 (father mother and child) equals six, making it the ideal number for harmonious relationships of all kinds; Venus imbues sixes with its magnetism, loving softness and spirit of abundance with Virgo lending them its inner beauty, selflessness and sense of service - an ideal combination with significant others! Tarot’s Lovers card
goes a step further and deepens the message that self-love is the
basis, and relationship with divine self the foundation of all outer
interactions; and its badly maligned Devil card is only
a parody of the Lovers image- depicting that once its self indulgent
chains and fears are released the devil card becomes and exalted Lovers
indeed! Its secret message is that every action stems from love, or its
flip side fear; and it asks sixes to become aware that only love works!
You are number 6 if you are born on the 6th; 15th or 24th
of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day,
month and year) adds to a 6. Its energies also play out in your life if
your name totals 6 numerologically.
SEVEN –THE DRIVE FOR INNER AND OUTER PERFECTION!
To exist is to change; to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly-Henri Bergso Seven is a number of perfection! 7
colors make a rainbow, 7 musical notes make a song, 7 days make up a
week, 7 major planets make up the solar system and 7 chakras symbolize
the perfect human! And yes God rests on the 7th day as he
beholds the utter perfection of his creation! He also steps back at this
point, leaving the reins of furthering this perfection into mankind’s
able hands… and thus in our story of numbers it is 7 that symbolizes
the true autonomous self - endowing on 7’s their distinctive and
individualistic streak! Mans destiny is now his own and separate from
‘Gods’ and thus are 7’s independent thinking, self-sufficient and
somewhat the loners they can be! Also it is at 7 that man realizes the
need to go beyond already reached ideals- even the ‘heaven on earth’ he
has experienced as a 6 - and this confers on 7’s their spiritual seeking
, mystical yearnings and love for the unknown (including travel!) Like
5’s they seek that elusive something ‘more’ … but this time the search
is deep within because all the wonders of the outside (already
experienced at 6) have to be transcended . Thus sevens who seek
fulfillment only from the outside will always wonder at their discontent
unless they also tap into it within! And it is towards that they are
bestowed with an inbuilt ability to look inwards in all ways- be it
through deep study, reflection, analysis or investigation. The deeper
they go for answers and guidance, the more enhanced will be their outer
life!
So come conjure with me the challenge of being a 7!
View the resolve required to go back to the drawing board and start
from scratch towards more permanent solutions; view their valor to risk
all towards unknown higher ideals; understand their fascination with the
deeper truths of creation; and appreciate not only their skills to
delve deep within but also their drive to practice the paradox they
discover- that perfection is not a static state of rest but one that
demands constant growth, experimentation and reinvention.
Each number has its strengths and challenges and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways.
A balanced 7 energy is distinctive, courageous, self-sufficient, deep,
wise, and inward looking in many ways- be it imagination, reflection,
intuition ,spirituality or intellectual analysis and the exactness of
science! In imbalance they veer towards being self-serving, rebellious,
aloof, taciturn, snobbish, critical, fussy, stressed, secretive,
eccentric and reckless… dreamers!
Other influences: Numerologically too 7 is a complex number, and cannot be reached by any multiplication! Neptune the planet of the unconscious confers on them its mysterious powers of imagination or illusion; intuition or confusion! Tarots Chariot card
depicts their strong inner sense of self and capacity to over come all
odds through sheer grit, determination and strength of mind; yet at
deeper levels the Charioteer symbolizes their endowment towards
understanding and thus overcoming the (odds presented by) dual plane and
thereby mastering human experience itself! The Tower card
represents the constant changes they undergo towards this, even back to
zero if required, for they more than any other number know the
all-potential of a zero…and how it can only lead to a perfection ever
enhanced...for an egg when burst from inside (rather than outside) means
new life! You are number 7 if you are born on the 7th; 16th or 25th
of any month. Its energies intensify if your entire birth date (day,
month and year) adds to a 7. Its energies also play out in your life if
your name totals 7 numerologically.
EIGHT –AUTHENTIC POWER TAKES TIME TO GROW INTO!
“There is no authority superior to each person's essential self” -Unknown Eight is a number of consolidation, authority and power!
The material order and experience of 4 is doubled at 8 - raised by the
infusion of spirit into matter. This is why number 8 is connected to
material prosperity and financial rewards. Indeed the figure 8 is made
up of a higher circle representing the perfection of the celestial order
operating through the physical plane of the lower circle! Together, the
circles show polarities integrated, and become the sign of balance and
infinity - as above so below! This is also symbolized by the octave that
‘8’ is - coming back full circle, but to a higher frequency as all
things are integrated sagaciously! Thus does 8 depict law, order and
justice on earth and number 8 people are known for their administrative
prowess, commanding presence equipoise and honorable actions. However,
as 8 is nearing the end of the numerical cycle, it has taken hard work ,
persistence and sound judgment to reach here- qualities that are
visible in number 8 people along with the independent streak that they
thus display ! And yet, due to being so close to the end of the cycle,
8’s unconsciously work for lasting results - making them diligent,
prudent and disciplined. They instinctively know the chain of cause and
effect that has got them here and thus diligent are they about what they
further put into effect! So come conjure with me the tasks of number 8!
A large part of your journey is done and you have the ensuing sense of
command, confidence, power and stamina; yet now you need to adapt, be
flexible and tread carefully! You are close to the end yet patience and
nitty gritty work is required! You are ready to go through to nine and
beyond- but all that you have learnt and encompassed in self is being
tested! And how- with Saturn task master as your ruling planet! Each number has its strengths and challenges and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways.
A balanced 8 energy is high on energy, ambitious, enterprising,
persevering, disciplined, organized, responsible, discerning,
clear-headed, just and effective. In imbalance it can either not tap
into its strengths or go the other way and turn egoistical, power
hungry, cold, confrontational, manipulative, obstinate, controlling,
materialistic and prone to corruption. Other influences: Numerologically
8 is a feminine number- and thus 8’s real power is inner strength – not
domineering in nature but a strong compassionate force which comes
about through an inner alchemy and balance. This is depicted beautifully
by the tarot card Strength symbolizing authentic
authority as gentle yet firm- showing us how a chain of roses can be
stronger than a chain of iron links! The strength card is also known as
Tantra- the rise of your own power (kundalini) conferring on you the
sovereignty to be true to who and what you really are! The looped figure
eight actually represents the coiled kundalini rising infinitely! Tarot’s Star card,
representing the ‘future’ depicts the rewards 8’s can look forward to
if they accomplish their purpose of being born a 8- long lasting
tranquility ,grandeur, abundance and deep fulfillment of the physical
plane! And who confers this? Saturn of course- the
much maligned tough taskmaster and ruling planet! For yes Saturn known
as the planet of delays and obstacles- rewards you many times over once
you fulfill the reasons to be born under its guidance!
You are
number 8 if you are born on the 8th; 17th or 26th of any month. Its
energies intensify if your entire birth date (day, month and year) adds
to an 8. Its energies also play out in your life if your name totals 8
numerologically.
NINE- ENDINGS & BEGGININGS!
“The
only way to keep from going backward is to keep going forward. Eternal
vigilance is the price of success. There are three steps, and each one
is absolutely essential. You must first have the knowledge of your
power; second, the courage to dare; third, the faith to do” - the Master
Key System At 9 the numerical sequence reaches its peak and breaks into a new cycle thereafter.
As the last single digit number it holds a special significance
symbolizing completion and pinnacles yes, but also the last chance to
deal with unfinished work of the cycle you are on, for it represents the
cumulative effects of all that you have experienced since you spun this
cycle forward as a 1! Thus is it a number of maturity and strength-
indeed 9 is the grit, passion and drive that powers the desire and
potential of 1 to reach actualization- making it a number of harvest,
rewards and even glory! At the same time, as a threshold to a new phase,
it demands more than a glance inwards- and deep reflection on what you
will put into effect as your next phase is mandatory for you to make
full use of its energy! 9 is also a number of self reliance because by
this point in the larger sojourn your personal identity has been
established –conferring on you a personal autonomy, confidence and
independence; but this fulfillment itself becomes a catalyst propelling
number 9 people to seek that which is beyond personal self- making them
the humanitarians they are known to be- idealistic, mystic, visionaries
seeking to impact their world. So come conjure with me the mystery of number 9-
you are at a pinnacle but also at a new beginning- and it is indeed
easier to move forward from stagnation and fears but to move beyond
pinnacles is what truly allows you higher and vaster experiences! You
have come into your own, yet this ‘self’ is becoming redundant as your
focus shifts to ‘others’ - and service is what must be encompassed! At
nine there are no limits or boundaries - yet the unknown must be entered
into and embraced! 9 as the end of the numerical cycle is about
fulfillment and endings! Finalities and starting points! Known to
unknown! It is in giving that they receive, in service that they get to
lead, in being unconditional and pure of external motive that get to
touch glory! Each number has its strengths and challenges and your role is to move into its balanced energy in personal ways.
A balanced 9 energy is independent, confident, self reliant,
passionately driven, resilient, spiritual, mystic, compassionate,
humanitarian, and charitable; in imbalance you don’t tap into its
strengths or tend towards being prejudiced, zealous, overly idealistic,
over emotional, dramatic, crisis oriented, self centered, hedonistic,
resentful, vindictive, lonely or even melancholic! Other influences: Numerologically
9 multiplied by any number always returns to self depicting number 9
peoples self-sufficiency and ability to do things on their own. Mars as
ruling planet bestows on them passion, grit and drive yes, but also its
fire- dollops of magnetic charm and sparks of tempera mentality! 9 is
easily understood through Pregnancy –something has come to full term, and yet must begin a new phase of existence! Geometrically 9 is the 3 cubed form, known as the perfect form, having within it the essence of 3 and beauty of 6! Celtic tradition often sewed 999 patches on marriage quilts in honor of this! The Tarot card Hermit
and its imagery may appear a strange symbolism of the number 9 - a
stark hermit with a lantern- but this is because the Rider Waite card
emphasizes the guidance that will optimize the 9 experience- the need to
go deep within and find this perfected higher self at every nine of
every cycle! The Moon card in contrast shows the
emotional aspects of 9- that which must be delved into; that which must
be let go of; the narrow line between illumination and illusion; and
going beyond the final chimera of all- Maya! You
are number 9 if you are born on the 9th; 18th or 27th of any month. Its
energies intensify if your entire birth date (day, month and year) adds
to a 9. Its energies also play out in your life if your name totals 9
numerologically. |
