Opportunities: The number 6 is wise and conscientious. It lives from the precepts and guidance of the heart. It has deeply ingrained principles and strong convictions, even from childhood, concerning religion, right and wrong, truth and justice – demanding fairness in all things and for all people. It will fight for ways according to its own beliefs and ideals. The number 6 prefers to act in a conventional manner and according to established standards and seeks the harmonious way of adjustment rather than discord; it is deeply disturbed and confused by the unlovely and sordid in relationships or situations. It seeks to right wrong at all times and in a kindly, generous way, thus giving it its place as the humanitarian. Responsibility follows the 6 all the days of its life and in all its undertakings, but it is capable of taking this, for it is motivated by a high sense of duty. It finds pleasure in doing good and worthwhile things for friends, family, and community. It can give to the point of exhaustion and act without reason. On the other hand, to fail to give is to fail to receive the rewards given the number 6 for its service and helpfulness. Responsibility becomes a pleasure and privilege when the 6 understands the beauty of service and gives of its abundance in reverence and wisdom. Four opportunities await the 6. It may choose one or all of them: 1.the standard bearer 2.the humanitarian 3.the provider 4.the entertainer The number 6 has only to choose which pathway of service it will follow for it has a real attraction for wealth, luxury, and the good things of life and has the ability to make these good things possible for others as well as for itself. It may choose to teach, minister to others, and to guide and protect mankind chains evil and wrongdoing. It may choose to heal, to be the welfare worker and to find a better and happier way for those in distress. It may go into business and provide the means and sustenance which make life worthwhile. It may choose to ring sweet songs, write music, plays, opera, illustrate, paint, decorate and colour the activities of every day with beauty and music of the Spheres. The number 6 is called the cosmic mother or the cosmic father. It gives its devotion to God, its fellow man and to its country.

Vocations & Talents: When gainfully and usefully employee, the number 6 loves to work, and it likes to be well paid. It generally insists on full value for its efforts. It is not a laborer or a drudge. It is physically strong and can, if it desires, do the hardest of day labour, but generally works into positions of authority due to its intelligence and ability to learn. If the 6 finds itself continuing in hard physical work, it is not making use of its talents or has not discovered them. The number 6 is always a teacher and sometime during its experience finds itself teaching and instructing others. Its love of truth and justice places it as the minister, the educator, the philosopher, the historian, the theorist, the professor, the scientist in theory apart from practice. Its strong principles give it interest in reform ideals and movements. It may be the religionist, writer of books (often for children), philosopher, teacher, and instructor along all lines of interest based upon the emotions and spiritual longings of man’s soul. All lines of welfare work such as nurses, physicians, hospitals, institutions, health and healing methods are generally part of the life of the 6 to some degree. Being born the humanitarian, if not doing humanitarian work, the number 6, quietly or secretly, does generous and helpful acts. The 6 likes to help others and finds business opportunity as a result. The 6 has excellent business ability. Many lines of endeavour call for its talents: providing products for the home, its comfort and ease, and to beautify the surroundings; manufacturing and marketing of commodities – wearing apparel, cosmetics, accessories, perfumes, and articles of personal adornment The 6 likes good food and abundance of everything – is often the chef, succeeding through restaurants, high-class night clubs and luxurious apartment houses and inns. All methods of service through healing – health stores, rest homes, and care of the weak and helpless – give financial reward. The number 6 is interested in nature and is found as the mining engineer, the horticulturist, geologist, zoologist, bacteriologist; and the 6 is interested in boats, shipping, irrigation, ranching on a large scale. Art, beauty, cultural interests are part of the makeup of the number 6. The 6 often gains through marriage and family inheritance. The care and education of children, where love and understanding are needed, give wide opportunity for 6

Human Relationships: 6 is the lover. To love and be loved is a deep desire in the heart and mind of the 6. It’s happiness, its sorrows, from childhood to old age, swing around this need, and, without love, the 6 does not reach the heights of success or the soul satisfaction it is capable of attaining. In human relationships – to those who do not understand this – it may appear as a desire for approbation, or as egotism, even a weakness, but it is the nature of the 6, for it is the number of the heart. Home, family, children necessarily form the background of the 6, and its ideals give it loyalty and generosity to those it loves. A natural love of luxury and the good things of life make it indulgent to its own needs and to family and friends, so it is capable of being completely blind to the faults of others where its heart and affections are given. The desire to protect its loved ones, and its overflowing generosity, can at times bring about weakness, even frustration, rather than helpfulness; and, as a father, mother, or sweetheart, it can “smother” rather than help, bringing about a desire to escape on the part of the child, husband, or wife. It is capable of sacrificing itself in giving and loving and yet failing to realize its own lack of understanding. The 6 may surprisingly remain unmarried because of the high ideals it holds regarding love and marriage, or because a fear of not being equal to the generosity and support it would love to give. This can be a mistake, for growth and development come to the 6 through companionship and home life. The 6 may fail to marry because of an early disappointment in love affairs or its loyalty to a father, mother, or family, born of its fine sense of duty and responsibility. Now and then true love comes late in life as a reward for a life of service and sacrifice. The firm convictions, religious principles, and sense of truth and justice (when the 6 has led a sheltered life) may bring many problems into the life of the 6 and its family. It can be hard, unrelenting, dominant and unforgiving, very stubborn and unresponsive to reason. Even though naturally sympathetic and kind, it can be very set in its ways and methods, and demands for discipline. Feeling itself the head of the family, it does not like to be crossed or contradicted. It is slow and deliberate in thought and action and retreats into a shell when crowded or hurried into action or promises. Always anxious to do worth-while work in the world and having deep pride, the 6 can be influenced by others through approval and praise and give foolishly or be taken in the wrong direction, which may cause it to fail in giving where it is really needed, even at home and to loved ones. This strange contradiction of character may bring difficulties, and the 6, not understanding itself, may speak of “lack of appreciation” on the part of others. (The 6 should learn to strike a balance between giving and receiving.) Not receiving the appreciation it feels it deserves, it may seek companionship or work elsewhere. The honest, straightforward 6 can speak “the truth” very bluntly when disturbed by what it thinks is a wrong done to others or to itself. It can be narrow in beliefs and difficult in association at times. Dishonesty for money’s sake means eventual failure for the 6. The 6 is a wonderful person. It was born to be good, to comfort, and to provide for humanity. The world is its child.

Number 7 Watchword: Understanding. An Introvert Number. Positive: Investigation Research Calculation Analysis Observation Specialist Technician Science Intention Discovery Detection Skill with hands Discrimination Thinker Meditation, Occult Dignity, Pride Perfectionist Charm of manner and personality Intelligence Love of solitude Negative: Shrewdness Hidden motives Too much pride Reservedness Misunderstanding Silence or sarcasm Suspicion Repression Unreasonableness Lack of powers of self-expression Over-positiveness Over-analysis Argumentation Cynic Temper Independence Hidden thoughts The best Lack of generosity Colours: Old Rose, Purple, Magenta, Brick, Pearl

Cosmic Pattern: “And God blessed the 7th day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” The number 7 had been born to have the rewards of the number 6, but commanded to discover the inner knowledge and the Laws of Divine Creation. It had already gained the abundance of its past labours. Now calm, serene in meditation and contemplation, it looks out upon established facts and beholds in visions and dreams the realities of unseen power, thus becoming the possessor of the wisdom of the ages. Having the blessings of the most High, it may reach out for greater vistas of learning and discover that which has not before been perceived. Standing in the midst of material things, the number 7 finds something of the soul in all things. Not of a religious nature, it still makes holy the facts of mankind’s existence.

Opportunities: The number 7 is primarily a law unto itself. It does not find its success in ordinarily established situations or conditions. It seeks to appraise, evaluate, and to test the worth of all activities on all planes of life. It does not accept any idea, plan, information, or even accepted fact at its surface value. At all times it asks the “reason why,” ultimately leading to discovery beyond the scope of average mind. The number 7 is the thinker, the student to life’s finer relationships, and is never satisfied until it links the known with the unknown. It is constantly urged on by its analytical mind to discover hidden facts. Thus it beamer the discoverer, the scientist, even the occultist, the inventor, and ultimately finds its success along a specialized and outstanding kind of work or undertaking. Knowledge is power for the 7 and its quick, keen, and observing mind adds to its ability to gain position and success. The 7 does not always find life simple, as it is naturally reserved, quiet, reticent, finding it difficult to express its thoughts and ideas, sometimes confused by its inability to be part of the activities of the everyday life. However, when the 7 trains and finds its place in the world, it is never inarticulate or alone as it sometimes feels itself to be. It is called from the background to the foreground. Mankind beats a pathway to its door to partake of its wisdom and understanding. The 7 has little interest in frivolous or foolish waste of time or extravagant imagination. It seeks knowledge above all else. But underneath its seemingly cool, dignified manner there is another side to its nature. A mystical quality kids underneath its reserved and dominant manner. It has need to be alone to seek the quiet places: for intuition guides it more than it may wish to acknowledge. It feels and responds to the occult and metaphysical, dreams of beauty, romance and heavenly things, and senses the wonder of its own soul and its relationship to the Creator of heaven and earth. The number 7 is a lucky number; the law of attraction governs its accomplishments, giving it an inner force which draws unexpected help and assistance in surprising ways. In spite of its cautious and calculating mind it likes to take a chance. To gamble is a dangerous game for the 7, (especially when formed by the number 16 – a karmic number demanding guidance to lead it to knowledge and skill, the 7 always wins life’s reward. Training, education and wise use of its excellent mental powers lead to true and lasting success.

Vocations & Talents: The number 7 should always endeavour to become the skilled worker. With application to the task, it generally gains this distinction. Education and training should always be the goal. A number 7, claiming lack of opportunity and education, has not made use of the public libraries of the country or dared to be true to its longing for knowledge and to know the reasons of things. To drift – due to restlessness or the feeling the grass is greener on the other side of the fence – brings delay and unhappiness. The 7 normally loves to read and study and should surround itself with books and scientific periodicals. Even if placed in the most ordinary circumstance, feeling deeply the lack of education, it can always find broader opportunities if it applies its mind and hands to the present task, even if seemingly beneath it, until its natural ability eventually leads it to better positions and a higher level of activity. The ovcational field is wide and unlimited. The number 7 finds success through research, calculation, observation, and analysis. It should endeavour to excel and to be expert in what it is doing. The 7 is the “specialist” with the ability of synthesis as well as analysis. When it gains skill, its intuition and soul power add colour to its endeavours. The 7 can enter the fields of science, investigation, technical research, and finds opportunity through laboratory and statistical work. Chemistry, invention, history, old and ancient subjects often avenues of interest and business success. The 7 can succeed through insurance and mathematical lines of business – is generally quick at figures, charts, and graphs. Law is a splendid field for the 7, often the criminal law and the technical rather than the general practice. Medicine, medical research, the surgeon, often the brain specialist, or some outstanding line of specialization in the field of healing and health can be the 7‘s career. The 7 deals successfully with books, literature, and all lines of education, for, even with all its talents, it is fundamentally the educator. Professors of universities and schools give wide interest and success. The 7, due to its powers of observation and hunches, makes a good detective, criminologist, secret service man; and the ability to be silent and self-controlled helps in these fields. The 7 is artistic and is often the connoisseur of literature, sometimes of food – giving opportunity through high-class restaurants. Having skill with its hands, it can develop skill in carving, etching, and the use of finer tools and instruments. The 7, living in its mystical side, finds interest and opportunity through occult teaching and secret societies and religion, not in blind faith, but as a seeker after the truth. It is not uncommon to find the 7 a reformer at some time during its lifetime, endeavouring to present an idea or principle it has discovered to change the world. The 7 likes to have a plan well in mind before it undertakes its accomplishment and sometimes hesitates or wastes time because it cannot find the perfect and exact method it senses and wants to bring forth. The 7 should not fear to take a step at a time, gaining perfection as it goes along. Fame and fortune can follow when the 7 has gained knowledge and found itself and its purpose. It can be an engaging and compelling speaker.

Human Relationships: The well-adjusted 7 is a most charming “gentleman” or “lady,” poised, dignified, gracious, proud, a good companion, quick of wit and repartee, somewhat exclusive and reserved, normally kind and helpful, and greatly admired for its talents and accomplishments. However, there is something of the “lone wolf” in its nature, giving the impression of being distant and hard to meet and talk to. Being a perfectionist and selective in all things, the 7 does not mix well and always waits to know better or to find real interest in those with whom it comes in contact. The need of the 7 to retain its poise and dignity is always present and, if forced to live in uncertainty or confusion in work or human association, it loses its power of attration so important to its success. The 7 often builds a protective wall of silence and reserve around itself until it is sure it is on familiar ground. As to friends and environment it is selective, but when well-acquainted it reveals all the charm of its inner nature. The 7 is not an adaptable person generally. It is rarely changed or reformed, and attempts to influence it cause withdrawal into a shell of silence and untouchable manner. It is, however, more sensitive in feeling and emotion than it cares to acknowledge and, like all other people, it needs love, sympathy, understanding and is responsive to approval and appreciation. The 7 is extremely averse to being asked questions, especially point-blank, and will seldom answer or may express its irritation through sarcasm or contradictory speech. Even bursts of temper may mar the moment, out of tune with qualities of the “gentleman.” It is always best to wait until the 7 is ready to tell or answer on its own accord – then the full story will come out. This is true for children as well as the adult 7. The 7, nevertheless, does not hesitate to ask questions and can be very disturbed by an evasive answer. It sometimes shows itself as the doubter or skeptic and demands proof and, while this is the keynote of its success in business or reserch, in domestic relationships this can be a source of difficulty and unhappiness. It may be surprisingly suspicious and secretive, leading to negative habits and repression. It should give the same confidence to others that it demands for itself and take time to talk things over. Understanding is the watchword for the 7 and, being hard to understand and realizing it, the 7 gains much by trying to understand others and endeavouring to make itself, its feelings, and its actions clear to others. The 7 likes and needs a good environment. It always wants the best. A good home, well-furnished, elegant and well appointed is what it will strive for, especially the feminine 7, with all details correct. The 7 does not like to have the house filled with many people, only those who have a common and intellectual interest. It is the head of the house, and, in marriage, which is not always an easy adjustment for the 7, it should select one of the opposite sex who also seeks knowledge, books, and the finer things of life. If, by chance, the 7 marries into a large family, its lack of true domesticity is revealed and it may express many strange moods or likes and dislikes. The number 7 needs to be alone from time to time and should be allowed to have its moments of quiet, rest, and time to read, think, and study. The emotional and sex nature of the 7 is strong, but the fine qualities of self-control and the tendencies of the stoic enable the 7 to live alone or even to retire into the priesthood or ministry. Many strange expressions of character may be demonstrated because of the repression of the feelings or again as an unbridled play of emotional nature. A marriage based on the deeper attractions of the soul and mind brings the happiest and most rewarding experiences of the 7 life. Being selective and fussy about food is charcteristic of the 7. The 7 should always follow rules of diet and corrective eating. Rest combined with directed exercise are very fine rules for the 7. The spine, glands, and spleen are sensitive parts of the body. The number 7, careful inregard to money, is often considered close in many ways. It is extravagant regarding its own wants but sometimes thoughtless or careless about the needs of others. The 7 is not destined to be the world’s caretaker, but is instead its educator. However, if thoroughly convinced, it will give abundantly to a worthy cause or real philanthropic need. The 7 should find something of the soul and divine in all things and keep a warm heart as well as a keen mind.

Number 8 Watchword: Judgment. An Extrovert Number. Positive: Authority Efficiency Supervision Executive ability Direction of business activity Recognition gained Character analysis Judgment Organization World affairs Strenuous action Strength Capability Demanding of others Seeking power Working for a cause Negative: Straining to attain Too much energy Overaction Tension Ambition Love of display Repressing others Demanding recognition Lacking true humanitarian feelings Money difficulties Impatience with others Few illusions Colours: Tan, Canary, Bronze, Buff, Opal, Ivory

Cosmic Pattern: “And the Lord said, If I find Sodom fifty righteous people within the city, I will spare all the place for their sakes.” To bring the infinite and the finite into harmonious relationship is the purpose and divine inheritance of the number 8. “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Armed with divine awareness, learned through many part lifetimes, the number 8 plunges into depths of experience; touched by the knowledge of the great mysteries of Being and the secrets of occult art and science, it presents to the people of the earth the reality of the divine dream of creation. The number 8 is a double number. It is the masculine and the feminine – the masculine, strong, demanding, active; the feminine, passive and capable of being molded. Together they express the celestial in material form. Separated, they bring sorrow and destruction – heaven and hell. The number 8 represents authority and can guide and direct mankind – not as the humanitarian but as the arbitrator, controller, the judge who weighs and balances with wisdom and without prejudice. The number 8 must not allow the 7 days of creation. It provides the order, the knowledge, the supervision and the stability to cement the dreams and visions of all the other numbers, that growth and progress may be even greater than before. Its task is great; it has many burdens. As its righteousness remains true to divine command, it becomes the noble and greatly respected judge and is rewarded from on high. It is the Solomon of numbers. “Judge not, the ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”

Opportunities: When awakened and developed, the number 8 becomes the Master Mind working for the cause of humanity and finds its perfect reward in the great accomplishment. Often it does not understand itself or the great power within, awaiting birth, to bring forth fine deeds and broad attainment. Personal ambition may throb within; love of money and power may colour its plans and dreams, only to result in loss and long periods of frustration, because it has failed to listen to the higher command: “on earth as it is in heaven.” When a backboce through moral integrity, spiritual feeling and material gain has been found, unusual opportunity and worthwhile authority is given, bringing success in any undertaking with the power, influence, recognition, and financial reward so deeply desired. The rewards of life are not easily attained, however, for it is the destiny of the 8 to give “its all” to whatever it undertakes. Repeated effort is often necessary to get results, accompanied by mental strain and long periods of frustration. At the same time, repeated effort and patience, until the work or dream is accomplished, are part of the strength and character of the number 8. The number 8 finds its greatest opportunity through a real purpose or goal: something to plan for that has usefulness, beauty, and wide service to the community or nation. It is always called upon to plan, supervise, lead, and to take up the plans and dreams of others in order to bring them to lasting and permanent accomplishment, not as the humanitarian, but as the one who loves the work and the thrill of the successful attainment of a worthwhile goal. Money comes to the 8 through its efficiency, excellent mental powers and good judgment – which is impartial and for the good of all concerned. It does not have the natural and easy attraction for money like the 3, 6, and 9. Success is the result of work well done, outstanding ability, its own unceasing effort, mental attainment, combined with fine character and sigh action. There is a philosophical trend to the nature of the number 8. It likes to theorize, to discover the motives and feelings behind human action. It is clever in relating feeling and facts, due to the feminine side of its masculine nature. Often it is the wise counselor, guiding and directing without prejudice or illusions, an ability gained only after many experiences and a few hard knocks by life itself. When the energies are spent striving for wealth and grandeur, the will may be broken by strong outside forces and a new start must be made. Through these struggles, an inner awareness of higher purpose is finally gained; and a calm unprejudiced management of affairs and fine powers of leadership enable the number 8 to rise to emergencies, to become the outstanding character and the “Master Mind,” the reward granted from the beginning.

Vocations & Talents: Industry, commerce and organization on a large scale give the 8 broad opportunity to make use of its natural talents. The 8 is the supervisor, director, controller, one who has charge of the business affairs of others. It is successful in building up run-down business activity of firms, corporations, and organizations; able to spot or uncover the weakness and to guide those in association to the goal to be accomplished. A natural efficiency expert, it impartially places facts, both as to cause and effect, in proper relationship. Governmental affairs, civics, and political management interest the 8, giving opportunity to direct affairs of State. Statistical departments and all lines of research are fields of success, as the 8 likes to gather facts and to relate them to the goal or undertaking to be developed. Civil engineering or building on a large scale, world-wide contracts and agreements are possible, linked with general improvement for many people and combined with education and instruction. Real estate is a broad opportunity, or loans and trusts dealing with the buying, selling and management of property and estates. Even in a small way, the 8, at some time during its life, is concerned with the management and maintenance of property, land, buildings, or homes. The literary field attracts the 8, and success can be gained through printing, publishing, newspapers, magazines, correspondence, more in the nature of the reporter, educator or traveler than along lines of drama and romance. Business having to do with transportation, travel by land, sea, or air are fields of endeavour. The 8 enjoys having more than one iron in the fire and likes to know what is going on in the world; it is always seeking, digesting, and adjusting information. The intelligence service is a natural field, as the keen mind, powers of observation, courage, and strong self-control make the 8 adaptable to many situations. As the two loops of the number 8 give it a desire to be fair and to see both sides of a question, it makes a fine judge and counselor and when trained, takes its place amone those holding high positions. Recognition for dependability and trust generally crowns the work of the 9. Even in a small way, the 8 has a way of being known in its locality for its outstanding character and good works. The number 8 does not like subordinate positions and generally seeks important contacts. When the command from its spiritual nature for righteousness is carried out, it gains power and influence. The number 8 should always train and educate its hands and mind. It should never trust to luck. As nurses, physicians, heads of institutions of health, the 8 find opportunity to manage and direct. The 8 has an outstanding ability to control others, even the insane. This ability to direct and lead is sometimes only discovered when an emergency arises, forcing the 8 to make use of its inner strength, will, courage, and executive skill. Sports, games give pleasure and success. Hotels and summer resorts, especially in the country can lead to desirable business success. The philosophical side of its nature, as natural to its character as its executive ability, gives the 8 interest in secret societies where there is form, organization and mystical training. It is often found reading, studying or teaching all lines of the mental sciences and ancient philosophies and is interested in studies of character and vocational analysis. This is brought about because of its desire to know about life and its relationship to divine purposes. The 8 has the ability to be a public speaker and is more direct than flowery. The 8 has musical talent, not always trained. It is attracted to musical instruments, finds interest and success through antiques, museums, art galleries. The 8 makes money-making activities, but others may often receive more than the 8 that has given the effort, the brains, and the “know-how.” However, as the 8 continues to make use of its mental powers and its wise judgment, it never lacks for right compensation. It is a mental worker, not a physical laborer

Human Relationships: The number 8 is always busy. Its strenuous driving force may make it try to be all things to all people, to take part in a variety of activities, wearing out its health and overwhelming its more plodding associates. Its intensity of action now and then defeats the very purpose for which it is working. It should learn to take time to rest and relax and to find an inner peace which will take away the sense of strife, strain, and frustration which accompanies “too much” effort. Being a strong character it is naturally a doer and others depend upon it; but it is part of the 8‘s lesson in life to strike a balance between doing and resting for lasting results. The 8 has a strong personality and is a good companion because of its many interests and varied activities. It gets on well with others, likes important people but associates with persons in all walks of life. It enjoys big houses, good clothes, and to make a good appearance with a touch of showmanship. It is a number of honesty and frankness and may, at times, speak out bluntly and severely, for it is annoyed and may even show temper over repeated blunders and inefficiencey on the part of others. Its anger is soon over and it is more likely to feel condemnation for itself than for others. The 8 has a tendency to indulge in repeated self-analysis and self recrimiation. It should not carry this too far, especially in times of seeming difficulties and problems. In love, marriage, and romance it is loyal and true, but with so many plans and ambitions it can be too busy for sentiment or love-making even though it may be deeply in love. It needs love and admiration to soften its nature, and should find time to express love, beauty, and sweetness to those it loves. Life becomes happier when the 8 learns to deal more patiently with others and to realize its own sometimes overwhilming driving force. There is a contradiction in the character of the 8. Filled with purpose and capable of seeing great possibilities in a plan, business activity or worth-while endeavour – supervising with great skill, and generally correct in its prophecy of final success – still the 8 may hesitate to take its rightful position and surprisingly stand aside to allow others to gain the reward and recognition. A little more self-confidence at the right moment would give the 8 its rightful reward and the great satisfaction in accomplishment which it has desired about all else.

Note: Experience and research have proved that the number 8 is greatly misunderstood by Numerologists and students. It is a power number which gives success, recognition, and leadership qualities. Fine character, ability to weigh and balance, and seeing both sides of the question give it position and authority. Howver it has more than its share of disappointments. But its success is earned by repeated effort, well-directed purpose, and giving its all to maintain and hold on to what it has rightfully earned. Just at the last moment others may receive the reward and the wealth when the goal was just at the fingertips of the number 8. The word Karma digits to the total 8. A philosophical turn of mind helps the 8 understand itself and others, so that it takes its place as the counselor, having learned the problems of others through its own long, slightly defeating experiences.

Number 9 Watchword: Forgiveness. An Introvert Number. Positive: Perfection Love, Compassion Ideality Impressionability Charitable ways Brotherhood of mankind Impersonality Forgiveness Leaders in philanthropic endeavour Artists, Writers Religionists Having big opportunity in life Capacity for living by Divine Standards Money attraction Leaders in art or good works Dramatic talent Negative: Too much love of self Jack of all trades Personal interests Impulsive action, Taking no blame Changeableness in love affairs Possessiveness Demanding approval and appreciation Moods and depression Failure to use talents for good of world Dissipation of higher forces Carelessness in financial affairs Seeking an easy time and approval Wrong habits Wanting to hale fellow Colours: Red, Carmine, Lavender, Olive, Straw, Smoke

Cosmic Pattern: The number 9 represents the Beginning and the End of all human experience. It is the Force of the outgoing number 1, the Light and the Peace of the number 2, the Imagination of the number 3, the Form and Order of the number 4, the Life and Progress of the number 5, the Responsibility of the number 6, the Intelligence and Perfection of the number 7, the Judgment of the number 8, the Compassion and Benevolence of the number 9. The number 9 represents mankind’s last earthly lesson: “Forgiveness.” “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” The number 9 is the heart and harmony of God’s Plan; it is also the Law and the Principle of Love that maintains, supports, and fulfills the promise of Eternal Life. “Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” Many disappointments may colour the experiences of the number 9. However, awakened to the “Music of the Spheres” and to the great Harmony of Being, it is finally redeemed out of all peoples, all religions, all breeds into the One Self which is in all and through all. Then life becomes a glorious experience to the number 9. All who touch its life are warned by the Divine force of compassion radiating from its heart.

Opportunities: The opportunities of the number 9 may span the whole world, raging from the center of local activity to foreign contacts and foreign businesses. The affairs of the number 9 naturally move in wide circles and great achievements. When the desire is awakened to promote civilization, to educate, comfort, and protect mankind, its possibilities are unlimited. So all-embracing is its scope of service, life’s gifts seem to be handed it on a silver platter, placing it in command of the greatests good life has to offer, as it keeps the Law of higher purposes as its goal. Only in this way does it keep and gold its reward – love, money, and philanthropy. The number 9 is a number of imagination, intuition, sympathy, and generosity of such power and high voltage, that it can warm the heart of all mankind when this is poured forth without personal motive and desire. It must be bigger than all others in all situations and in all motives. It must grow in compassion, tolerance, forgiveness, and the understanding of true service to reap the fullness of its promise of greatness and to gain its goal. Early in life it is hard for the number 9 to undertame many hurtful experiences of loss, sorrow, and disappointment which may occur until the great love which pervades its soul is turned from the personal to the impersonal. To plan its goal or achievement as a means to personal gain alone, to desire love, money, and power for personal satisfaction only, is to wreck its life, destroy its power to accomplish, and to suffer personal pain and crucifixion. The number 9 is divinely protected. It has every power within itself to succeed nobly. When it finally learns to love life, success, and people in unison with the great universal “good” rather than for personal progodna or favour, it receives greater love, personally impersonally, than it may have ever dreamed of. The number 9 attracts: money (46557) = (27)9 and fortune (6692355) = (36)9 It may make a fortune and just as easily lord it more than once during a lifetime. “Easy come, easy go,” for it is generous, impressionable, and idealistic. It can be influenced and imposed upon because of its generosity, giving where it should not or without reserve, until, eventually, it learns to serve, to promote, and to help without personal loss and without taking from others the responsibility of their own growth and development.
