The Secret Meaning Of Birthdays

February 9th

THE DAY OF VIBRANCY

Those colorful individuals born on February 9 are attracted by exciting happenings and at the same time generate a good bit of energy themselves. They are most highly spontaneous and somewhat unrestrained, so it is their task to develop the capacity to buckle down when necessary. By directing their energies, rather than scattering them, they can be far more productive. Also, by reining in some of their enthusiasm, they will be less likely to burn out prematurely or expose themselves to harmful influences.
As family members or friends, February 9 people are often relied on to raise the spirits of those most troubled. Themselves no strangers to suffering, more highly evolved individuals born on this day are masters at taking profound, often painful experiences from their past and making them the basis for an uplifting attitude that can inspire others. They also have a way of turning potentially negative situations to their advantage.
Especially in later life, those born on this day are often known as people who have paid their dues, and having done so, are capable of understanding the difficulties that others face with wisdom and compassion. They can often say with confidence, ?I've been there before, and I know what it's like.? In a word, February 9 people are survivors, and therefore hold out hope to those who are experiencing misfortune or struggling with life's challenges. Not surprisingly, their sympathy and insight is a highly sought after commodity in their social circle.
Some February 9 people may appear beaten down by their experiences, as their body language speaks of emotional wear and tear. Yet they still struggle to remain positive and vibrant anyway. Such profound and interesting people are engaged in a constant battle between the dark and light sides of their personality. They are fighters ? aggressive, explosive and unpredictable. When they are in a great mood it is as if the sun is shining. When not, it is best for others to disappear quickly?if they can!

It requires a tremendous personal effort on the part of this type of volatile February 9 person to bring the more upsetting elements of him/herself under control, assuming he/she has the inclination to do so. In fact, the willpower those born on this day demonstrate on specific occasions can be truly remarkable, but unfortunately constancy and consistency of purpose can be other depressants like the plague. Most everyone born on this day will need to strive for stability in their lives, and part of this process involves depending on an understanding mat and/or very close friend, and cultivating trust in general.

NUMBERS AND PLANETS

Those born on the 9th of the month are ruled by the number 9 and by the planet Mars. The number 9 is powerful in its influence on other numbers (any number added to 9 yields that number: e.g., 5+9= 14, 4+1= 5, and any number multiplied by 9 yields a 9: e.g., 9x5= 45, 4+5= 9), and February 9 people are similarly able to influence those around them. The planet Mars is forceful and aggressive, embodying male energy, and for February 9 people of both sexes such powerful energy is made all the more explosive by the influence of Uranus, ruler of Aquarius.

TAROT

The 9th card of the Major Arcana is The Hermit, who is usually depicted walking with a lantern and a stick ? he represents meditation, isolation and quietude. The Hermit also signifies crystallized wisdom and ultimate discipline. He is a taskmaster who motivates by conscience and guides others on their path. The positive indications of this card are stick-to-it-iveness, purpose, profundity and concentration; negative qualities include dogmatism, intolerance, mistrust and discouragement, underlining the tendency of certain February 9 people toward self-pity. However, the positive elements of this card should act as an inspirational model to all born on this day.

HEALTH

Those born on February 9 are prone in their darker moments to becoming depressed and ruminating on the problems of their lives. For this reason they must avoid drugs which reinforce this tendency (notably alcohol). They must also be wary of mood elevators, which can throw them into an overexcited state. They would do well to pay more attention to their diets which tend to lack sufficient planning and consideration of nutrients. Some born on this day don't eat regularly enough and may even go into an anorexic direction, another reason for avoiding drugs which raise their metabolism. Only mild phys

Only mild physical exercise is here recommended, particularly regular daily walks, yoga (usually combined with meditation and breathing exercises) and/or swimming.

ADVICE

Keep your chin up. Don't let yourself be dragged down by the negativity of others. Conserve your energies. Consider carefully the effect you have on those around you, and the demand you make of them. It is not always easy to know you.

MEDITATION

Fate itself is the ultimate Zen master.
