One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...Oooh, nine. Nine is a big whup-ass magickal number, mostly due to that 3 x 3 thing. It's THE MOMENT SQUARED, I suppose.

Anyway, nine is also a big completeness number, largely because of the nine-month human gestation period, and also because nine is the last "new" number among all numbers--after nine you're just repeating old numbers again.

Nine, numerologically, is a number of great achievment, both mentally and spiritually. Nine is literally the "highest" number and denotes all the highest qualities. Yes, yes, I know, three had all the best shit too, but threes were a bit self-serving and ambitious. Nines are lucky and talented and all that jazz like threes, but with more humility. Nines are also amorous and possibly egotistical (because 9 always returns to itself--since everything you get by multiplying by 9 always adds up to 9).
