She notes that sometimes, what you’re doing or thinking the moment you see the number is most significant, “like thinking you should expand your business and then looking up right as the clock in your office turns to 1:11 or going to start your first day of a gym membership and being assigned locker number 222.” Depending on the number you’re seeing, the meanings will vary, and just as the number one (aka the first single digit) often represents a beginning, seeing 999 (the last single digit) often relates to endings. She notes that the number nine reminds us that when we let go, we create space for something new, “and through surrender we tap into a higher and more truthful expression of self.” The emotional nature of this number, she adds, encourages us to look at what we can release, whether it be a relationship, an old habit or pattern, or even limiting beliefs. In the case of life path numbers, someone with a life path nine is known as the humanitarian, with this number relating to humanitarian efforts, hope, faith, and the wise old soul. “If we picture numerology as a journey, we began at one and have now moved from one through nine, arriving at a culmination of all the wisdom gained throughout the journey,” Maree explains. “[Nine] is a reminder to step back, look at the bigger picture and entire journey and all the wisdom gained throughout,” she adds. It’s also worth noting that, according to Richardson, the more you see a number repeating, the more that energy is trying to get your attention. “As the number nine is also very connected to the heart and emotion, it asks us to take a moment to look at what our emotions have been saying to us. Have there been themes coming up that have held a lot of emotion, or is there a new desire emerging?” she adds. Maree explains that often, a twin flame relationship is about assisting with a divine mission, or a soul’s path, which is also a theme present under the number nine. “999 can connect us to the essence of soul searching and the unquenchable desire to understand the greater mysteries of life. If you intuitively feel that a relationship in your life is connected to the greater path of your soul that the number nine is speaking to, it’s reminding you to not doubt that intuitive knowing,” she says. In other words, if you just met someone you feel a deep connection with and you keep seeing 999, take it as a good sign!
