The Numerology of 99: Its Meaning and Significance
The number 99/9 is about completing one's life lessons, goals, dreams, and actions, whatever the price. Sometimes completion becomes the goal in itself. 99 is the end of a cycle and represents the completion of the ultimate goal. 99/9 resonates with "doomsday" – the end of the world. Called "Ragnarok" in the nordic traditions, or "Maha Pralaya" in the Hindu tradition.It is self-discipline in its utmost consequence. It represents ultimate strength and courage from the triple 9 energy (9 + 9 = 18, an aspect of 9).
We find the double 9 combinations in the charts of people who have an extreme self-discipline in any field, whether it, for example, is the famous saxophonist John Coltrane who practiced for 12 hours per day (born in a 9 month in a 9 year), or the cyclist Lance Armstrong who won Tour de France 7 times (born on a 9 day, in a 9 month in a 9 year) or a person with an intense daily spiritual practice – for example, Hildegaard of Bingen, (born in a 9 month in a 9 year). We also have Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (born on a 9 day, in a 9 month, in a 9 year), of who it is said that he was turned down 1009 times before he heard his first yes. 99/9 stands for finalizing, and in this sense, it is also interesting that the last apartheid president of South Africa, F.W. de Klerk, who "finalized" apartheid, was born on a 9 day and has a 9 life path number.
In imbalance, 99/9 can be misunderstood by other numbers who cannot keep up with one's actions, which can seem principled, lofty, and maybe even "tough." There can also be a tendency to shut out emotion or discount it with the number 99. Emotion is sacrificed on the pyre of principle and reaching the end goal.
99/9 can be a number of great karmic and spiritual tests, because it signifies that we are on the very last part of the journey, the part with the most obstacles and trials, and 99/9 has to be strong to push through the very last leg.
Because of the perceived or actual difficulties, 99/9 can be tempted to resort to unethical methods to reach the final destination (for example, the aforementioned Lance Armstrong, who resorted to drugs to win Tour de France). The tired 99/9 so much wants to reach the end goal that the goal justifies the means. 99/9 can also resort to making everything in its life automated. Rules and schedules take care of everything, and everything becomes soul-less. It can feel so tired deep in its bones that it is waiting for its own death because the goal, though right around the corner, feels so far away that there is nothing left to live for. And that's the irony with 99/9. Sometimes it walks 99 miles of the 100 miles but gives up at the 99-mile point, not knowing that it was that close. And here we have a valuable lesson with the number 99/9 - sometimes in life, we feel that there is no hope left and that we are at the end of our tether, when in fact, the light is just around the corner. So next time you feel that you can not go on a single step, perhaps you should give it one last shot.
In balance, the number gives power, strength, drive, and the ability to complete any task.
