Nine - The Challenge of
The challenge contained in the 9 energy is what you need to overcome in order to create the destiny of your choice. Failing to learn these lessons acts as a barrier to your happiness and success. In other words, this can be your downfall, if you allow it to be. What makes the challenge so difficult to overcome is that you will tend to deny that it exists. And the more you deny it, the more it will stand between you and your marvelous potential.
9 is the number of GIVING and, as your challenge number, it can make you extremely generous --or -- very selfish indeed. Sometimes you can give of yourself without any thought of what you may receive in return. But at other times, you give because you want something. Sometimes, those involved may not be in a position to return the favor. You tend to give people the impression that you can solve their problems. Then, they become dependent on you to do so. Inevitably, you become overwhelmed by problems that were never yours to begin with. That is when resentment sets in and you abruptly withdraw your support, leaving the other person hurt and confused. You do not intend to offend others but, unfortunately, you often do.
In order to meet this challenge and turn it into a talent, you must admit that you become afraid when your own needs are not being met. You must admit that you tend to rush in to “save” people, without considering the responsibility involved in being a philanthropist. And you must admit that you NEED to feel needed. You must understand that the welfare of others does not fall solely on your shoulders and you must give to others only in a way that is comfortable and manageable for you. You must give because you truly WANT to and not because guilt or fear are telling you to over-exert yourself on someone else’s behalf.
An understanding of this challenge will enable you to find a secure balance which allows you the freedom to be and do what you really want in life while also satisfying your giving nature. This is a difficult challenge because 9 and 0 contain a little of all the other challenges. This is the challenge of an “old soul” who has lived many many lifetimes. When you accept that you are such an evolved human being, you will “remember” that you cannot love someone else if you do not love yourself first. You will remember that you cannot fulfill the needs of others if your own needs are not being fulfilled. Reconnect with these memories, and then see how this tough challenge balances itself.
