Today is the ninth day of the ninth month, and that means wish-fulfilling magic is in the air! In Feng Shui, the number nine represents happy and prosperous conclusions that can bring completion to certain cycles of your life. This happens before you embark on a brand new path represented by the number one. The reason that this number nine holds the highest mantle is that it is the last of the single digit numbers before the double digits. Consequently, on something called the Feng Shui ‘Magic Square’ (or Lo Shui) the number nine is always associated with transformation, recognition and rewards. But mystery surrounds this number too. The ancients buried their dead only on the ninth day. The Romans held a feast honoring their dead every ninth year and it was at the ninth hour that Jesus was said to have died. In Hebrew teachings it is said that God has descended to earth nine times. There are nine planets in the solar system and the number that symbolizes all of mankind itself is nine! It is also 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 exercises in order to gain the most magic you can from the mystical 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 in order to attract fortune and luck. 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!
