Numerology of the Single Digit 9
How is the Number 9 Defined?
The 9 is the number of completion. It is the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one.
The number 9 is a number of observation. It stands apart from all the other numbers as what else is there to do at the end but begin again? The 9 shares a lot of similarities with the 6. It often has a humanitarian drive and a deep sense of compassion. The difference is that while the 6 offers love and care to individual communities, the 9 aims to affect the world at large.
It is characterized by a complete acceptance of the world. They do not judge, they observe, and they act with wisdom and understanding. They act for the greater good of all.
The Traits of the Number 9
Where the Number 9 appears in your Numerology charts shows where it brings its energies into your life. When we understand the meaning of the numbers we can play to their strengths where they appear.
Enlightened Wisdom
The 9 is a number that has awakened to their inner wisdom. Through their own life experiences, they are able to lead by example and be a model of behavior. They are able to inspire others to the same universal understanding, love, and respect that the 9 has for the world.
Accepting
There is a fine difference between tolerating something, and accepting it wholly. The 9 sees all the merits and faults of others but they do not discriminate. In the eyes of the 9, there is no difference in culture, race, or religious beliefs. We are all human with the same biology, the same desires, the same needs and the 9 treats everyone as such.
Selfless
The 9 has a calling to help humanity. To those going through hardship or have fallen through the cracks, the 9 offers their support regardless of what they are going through themselves. They do not seek any credit for the aid they offer as they are aware of the workings of society. They are not after fame or recognition and are genuinely compassionate.
Weary
The burden that the 9 carries is a heavy one. They have endured a great deal of hardship themselves, which is why they empathize with those in need. That burden on the 9’s figurative shoulders must be eased. Like all of the more “giving” numbers, the 9 should remember that they need the same love and compassion that they show others. Otherwise, being in service to others while surrounded by suffering just saps away at their energy. They can end up vindictive, unforgiving, or turn apathetic as they question their purpose.
Unfulfilled
It is ironic that despite all that the 9 does, one of the traps that they can easily fall into is being unfulfilled. As they interact with those in need of support, they surround themselves with people who are struggling. It’s all too easy then to despair and see life as suffering. It is therefore important for the 9 to celebrate the successes of those whom they have supported and realize the impact that they have made in the world.
The Life Path 9
If you add up the numbers of your day, month, and year of birth, then reduce it to a single number you get your life path. If that number reduces down to a single digit 9, then you are a Life Path 9.
The Life Path 9 is seen as an old soul. Wise, kind, and safe to confide in. Those with the Life Path 9 find themselves commonly offering advice to others as they have valuable insight from their own experiences to share with the world.
While the 9 is worldly, they are also deeply spiritual. It is common for those with a Life Path 9 to turn to religion for comfort and to seek courage from the divine. They place a great value on their intuition as it gives them confidence to stand up and hold their head tall through hardship.
The lesson for the Life Path 9 is to ask for help for themselves. They are kind hearted by nature but often put aside their own needs in favor of serving others. They need to recognize that they may need to help themselves as well. Karma is about cycles after all. And when they have given, they need to learn to receive.
Relationships with a Life Path 9 tend to be generous and loving. They are very easy going and accepting of others. However, they aren’t particularly romantic. The 9 are distant and tend to ignore their own feelings in their efforts to attend to the feelings of others. They are loyal but their love is for humanity as a whole. Anyone who is in a relationship with a Life Path 9 should not expect passion but depth and wisdom instead.

Tarot and the Number 9
In the Tarot, the number 9 is represented by The Hermit.
The Hermit is a Major Arcana card and is represented by the Roman numeral IX. This card is often depicted as a wizened old man. His beard is white, and he wears a grey robe while standing in snow. In his hand he carries a staff, the same one that The Fool carried. In his other hand he carries a lantern with a six-pointed star. It is bright in stark contrast to the grey around him, as it is meant as a compass to guide The Hermit.
The Hermit is withdrawing from society to reflect upon his actions and to gain a deeper understanding of life. He withdraws into his subconscious in order to develop spiritually. The aim of The Hermit is to listen to his inner voice.
When The Hermit appears, it means that it is time for withdrawing from society. It is time to take a break and reflect on things. You should try to connect with your spiritual self as it would light the way for you.
