A time for PURGING yourself from the past, enabling the future to bring new experiences. The past comes alive through memories of both good and bad times. It is time to put them to rest and await the rebirth of the Number 1 year. If you were married during the 8 year, cycle or month, then the 9 year, cycle or month can be considered the "getting to know you" syndrome, where all of your programming from your single days can be changed very quickly into "we" and how we operate as a unit, instead of "me" as a single entity. Old habits and thoughts die hard and the mighty 9 sees to it that thoughts and attitudes that need to be changed so that you can function as a unit, die or are modified. This may very well prove to be a very "Frustrating" time for you as we hold on to the old and try to reject the new. The 9 also gives us the ability to put others before ourselves, to help your new partner feel comfortable in a different environment, especially if they are moving into your home and they may feel somewhat uncomfortable in your space.
                                            
 
This is an excellent time to clear out the "old" garbage from your life that is not working anymore and make changes, whether it is insurance companies who don't have your best interests at heart or people that provide a service to you that you can no longer tolerate. Any conditions or situations that don't work any more should be reevaluated or replaced at this time.
This is an auspicious time to gain favors from the government or people in authority. You can wind up in some sort of disagreements or experience harsh words with someone, so be careful in your speech. Competition with others will work out well now and some honors can come to you. You may be fortunate in unexpected financial gains, in lotteries or other source.

The nine brings with it a myriad of experiences. This is the last number and the closing of a cycle. It indicates that your life or lifestyle is now ready to experience something different. All things come to an end to allow the new to have its time. Activities come to a head in the 9 year. The 9 energy is very EMOTIONALLY charged and should you feel the need to have a good cry, let it all loose. A pet or a person can pass out of your life at this time leaving you very upset, especially if this was a friendship that you thought was worth the effort and you have a lot of personal time invested in. Friendships that have been going on for years can end as quickly as they started without even a word as to what happened to change things, or why the person suddenly won't speak to you anymore, or acknowledge your presence in the universe. This is the "killer" part of the number 9. Some friendships were just meant to pass from existence now especially if they had been getting kind of stale for some time.

A time of transition and letting go of unnecessary things in our lives has arrived. Should we be foolish enough to try to hang on to them, the universe and its wisdom will find ways for us to have them part from us. Changes in career, profession or job can occur along with changes  in  residence,  choosing  to relocate.  Charitable and humanitarian deeds are stressed bringing fulfillment with it. Try to work WITH others for a common goal that will benefit the masses of people. Sympathy, understanding of the plights of others, compassion and love should be extended to all people that you come in contact with now. Friendships from your past take on a greater meaning and wonderful new relationships can develop. Try to complete all of the goals and projects that you have been working on at this time. A career in medicine or the nursing profession can very well appeal to you now, or you may want to start medical school or nursing school.

Among other things that can disappear (enforced rather than given up) are automobiles that have outworn their usefulness either by breaking down beyond repair or through accidents that forcibly take them from our lives, no matter how much we care about them. In fact, the more we do care about them, the more abruptly they are taken and all "1's" following the "9" year, cycle or month, bring new beginnings and new driving experiences. I know it is weird to even consider, but you may see a "mode of transportation" sacrifice its life so that you can move on to something better.

You may suddenly realize you have psychic, intuitive or receptive powers you never knew you had, or acknowledged. Reply on those subtle or not so subtle impressions to guide and mold your life. The occult can also hold some interest for you as you delve into the mysteries of the universe. Since the 9 is so spiritual, you may begin to counsel others or begin psychic readings, or use your psychic ability to help others in distress.

Charities and humanitarian causes are excellent avenues of expression for you now. You can become somewhat impractical in your thought patterns and over emotional at the drop of a hat. Because of your very sensitive emotional state, you can be very easily hurt by the words or explosive deeds of others, whether they are your friends, family or spouse. The mighty 9 will force some kind of changes in the structure of your relationships and new love relationships can easily suffer a setback, changing the way you look at it, for better or worse, probably both at the same time. Perhaps the key here is that you were giving too much of yourself to another and the pain and hurt feelings is forcing you to "step back" and become more impersonal with it if you are to "survive" or coexist within it.

Take time to say good-bye to old ways and habits and embrace a new cycle which begins next year. Neptune is the ruler of the number 9 and Karmic tests may come to you during this year. Others prefer to place Mars or the Sun here as well. It is a time of tests. How well did you do during the year? What did you learn?  Was that information valid? The 9 is said to be the most humanitarian of all the numbers.

For you to work in a menial position would have you climbing the walls, or one where the job wasn't completed the way it should be done. This is another year where doing for others beyond the call of duty is both beneficial and stressed. Avoid being petty and small in reflection or actions with others. Fill your heart with love and then expand on that concept for the greatest reward and understanding. You can also make some changes in your career or take on a part time job. Neptune rules liquids, water, gases, music and chemicals. Perhaps bartending or working in a beverage store of some kind will be a source of additional income for you. On the other hand, you might start drinking more water to keep you body in harmony and balance.

You may take this time to get away from the hustle and bustle and take a trip to the ocean, or the woods. It is a year filled with letting go of all of your habits, conditions and people that have no meaning to you. Romance with people who are very different than yourself is likely and perhaps associated with the signs Aries or Scorpio. Accident potential is higher than normal so be careful of your driving, working with any sharp object or working around fire hazards. Perhaps you will take a long trip now. Fevers are a possibility at this time. Avoid rich and spicy foods which you will be drawn to now, as well as the use of alcohol and wine. Vulnerable months for health and overwork are April, May, October and November.

One danger of the 9 energy is learning that there is nothing wrong with selfless giving and lack of ambitions for personal gain. Ambitions may be very high and the need for material compensation high as well. In matters of love and friendship, stop looking for it and it will find you! Social abilities and opportunities increase. Romantic and passionate states are heightened and someone may come along to remind you that you are never too old to have your heart jump started. Creative and artistic abilities become much stronger, looking for expression. Learn to give, so that you can receive.

While studying the Hindu scriptures, I found that while in the number 9 personal year, you can find friendship with people born with the numbers 1, 2 or 3 as a birth number or with people in a 1, 2 or 3 personal year. You will not get along with people who have 5 or 4 as a destiny number or in a 5 or 4 year. People who are in a 6 or 8 year or have a 6 or 8 destiny number will be neither bad or good, but rather neutral.
