Number 9

In numerology, the number 9 symbolizes fulfillment, the end of a cycle and openness to others. The last of the single digits, it is associated with altruism, idealism, compassion and a broad view of the world. Its supposed pitfalls are scattered energy, difficulty letting go or self-neglect. In a cycle of personal years, it marks a time of taking stock and detachment that prepares the fresh start of a 1 year.
