"Today is the ninth day of the ninth month in the year 2009,
which means there's magic in the ethers all around you! In Feng
Shui, the number nine represents happy and prosperous conclusions
that bring completion to certain cycles of our lives before
embarking on a new path. The reason that this number holds this
mantle is because it's the last of the single digit integers
before you get to double digits that can then be reduced back down
to a single (10 = 1+0). So, on the Feng Shui Magic Square called Lo
Shui, the number nine is associated with transformation,
recognition and rewards. It's also the only number in
calculation that will always reproduce itself. For instance, 9 x 2
= 18 with 1 + 8 hearkening back to the magic nine. There's all
sorts of mystery surrounding this number: on the ninth day the
ancients buried their dead. The Romans honored their dead every
ninth year and it was at the ninth hour that Jesus was said to have
died. Hebrew teachings state the God has descended to earth nine
times. There are nine planets in the solar system and the nine is
associated with mankind itself. It's the number of force and
energy and its purest form denotes ambition and domination over
all. On this day try to do one or all three of these next things in
order to gain the most magic you can from the energies swirling all
around. Knock on your front door nine times, visualizing
opportunities and advantages coming through that same space. Put
nine yellow roses in the center of your home, and then light nine
red candles in the 'Fame' area of your main floor. Any one
of these adjustments will put you in touch with the miracles
surrounding this number, but enacting all three will put you in
position of strength, power and fulfillment. Here's to a day
dedicated to the number nine, it's a total 10 in my
book!"
