2025🕘✨: The ‘9’ Year And What To Expect🐍💫

Ahh, 2024 is nearing an end and it’s time to start focusing on the 9 year (2025) just ahead if you haven’t already!

Today, we’ll briefly go over the number 9 in numerology and lay out what it means for the collective (click here to learn more numerology). What does it matter? What will it look like? How will it feel, and how will it affect my everyday life? Let’s answer these questions and more!

What We Need To Know About The Number 9🧐

The number 9 in numerology represents many things having to do with The Mind and Releasing. Clear and Inspired Visions, Humanitarianism–where the mind and heart meet, and the mental pursuit of happiness! The end of an era so to speak!

This digit is associated with the zodiac signs of Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Virgo. In Tarot, 9 is associated with The Hermit card (also Virgo). Finally, in Astrology 9 is connected to the planet of Mars–representing action and that powerful energy you get when you are powering through something. But also The Moon–representing the emotional and intuitive parts of us, concisely or subconsciously, that come up when change is afoot!

In Chinese Astrology, the number 9 year is the Year Of The Wood Snake! The most recent years of The Snake were 2013 and 2001. Here, the snake year is associated with divination, spiritual ability, mystery, cattiness, and even malevolence (TravelChinaGuide). It is also associated with elegance, charm/persuasion, and very strategic and intelligent insight. Similar to The Hermit in Astrology, the Wood Snake tells us to stay intuitive and only come out when we have done the proper inner work. Now is the time for shedding skin, rejuvenating ourselves so we show up and show out better than before!

How 2024 Moves Us Into 2025⏭️

2024, the year number 8, was an intense year of karmic lessons, shocking and hard truths, revelations of the occult, or deeply secretive information. No matter what, our materials distracted us, our moral judgments felt off, there were constant power struggles, and more experiences heavily associated with heavy number 8.

As I described earlier, if 9 is the mental pursuit of happiness, 8 would have been that life-altering moment or experience that moves us into wanting more for ourselves–and in general. We are no longer enduring karmic experiences; now, we’re learning lessons, opening our eyes to others, and changing our perspectives of ourselves and the people we spend time with! We’ve endured such intense energy that now, we want peace, so we’re about to tie up all those loose ends!

Moving from this into number 9, we could begin to feel things such as:

• Denial
• courageous/ambitious
• Fear
• Grief
• Independent/Overly independent
• Emotional Avoidance
• Depression
• Anger
• Numbness/Escapism
• Nostalgic/Reminiscent
• Deja-Vu/Same experience over again
• Ready for Rehabilitation
• Battle between love and loss
• Ready to learn from others/Teach others

Generally, the best way to describe this is we will find ourselves leaning into one planet or the other energetically(Mars or The Moon).

For example, those more negatively associated feelings could come up because it’s simply time to release them or because you are refusing to acknowledge and release them. You may find yourself clinging to fear, doubt, and grief instead of appreciating how those emotions work for you and letting them be using your knowledge of experience. This is why emotional avoidance can arise because well, let’s be honest, it’s hard to deal with the emotions you’ve kept suppressed or inside for a reason!

On the positive associations side, you ought find yourself invigorated with independence and a ‘ready for better’ attitude. You may encounter many more people who are out of karmic situations, moving past and healing from old lives and versions of themselves they no longer associate with. Don’t be surprised if your bestie is stuck inside, this year, it’s likely progressive isolation and not ‘OMG what is going on, why is this happening to me’ isolation. People are ready to look inward, rehabilitate themselves, and encourage others to do the same.

Key Things To Note For The 9 Year🔑

Don’t forget these things, especially as you go on to the next year!

• History can and will repeat itself for (up to) another 9-year cycle if you refuse to learn those big or emotionally prevalent lessons!
• Let things run their course(s)!
• Spiritual and Psychic Abilities will be heightened. So people who have not yet had spiritual experiences will, and those who are deeply involved will be leveling up (slowly but surely)!
• One ending makes space for one beginning, do not be upset to see anything go!
• Change is necessary, especially after we’ve realized that things are wrong (like in the karmic 8 year).
• Denial is NO LONGER an option!
• Go over the film that is your life in your mind. Visualize it. What are the highlights? What are you cutting? Narrowed focus improves goal achievement!
• Your pursuit of happiness and growth-ful knowledge will bring your true soul satisfaction!
• This year is about facing the music, do you like what you hear? If not, change the station!
• Focusing on the future will help you progress throughout the year, but don’t let your entire past tag along.
