09092009

I know it has been more than a month since my last entry, I should be more disciplined specially since this is something that I truly enjoy.

I've been receiving a lot of comments via twitter and facebook regarding the meaning of today's date the ninth day of the ninth month in 2009. The last of the single digits for quite a while. 1001 years to be precise. For some of my friends and colleagues, it seems like a good day to celebrate and look forward to.

Nine | Astrology

Some sources indicate that according to "spiritual numerology". Nine was considered to be a sacred number by the ancients and was consequently not assigned a numerical equivalent to any letter in the Chaldean alphabet. It represents change, invention and growth which springs forth from inspiration. Nine is the humanitarian. Nine has traditionally held esoteric significance which is evidenced by the fact that it takes nine calendar months to bring a baby into the world from its initial conception.

2009| Chinese Numerology and Astrology

According to Sri Janarrdhana Guptha, the Chinese Lunar Year of 2009 which runs from 01/26/2009 through 02/13 2010 is called Ji Chou - the Year of the Yin Brown Earth Ox or Bull or Buffalo. In a sense, as Yin implies Female, some Chinese Astrologers prefer to call it as the Year of the Female Brown Earth Cow. It is also the Sixth Year in the New Fengshui Land Luck Cyclic Age of 8.

The Year of Ji Chou is an extremely strong Yin Earth Year as both Ji as well as Chou are of Yin Earth. Thus the analysis of the Five Elements reveals 2009 as Yin Earth sitting over Yin Earth. It means the elemental relationship of the year is productive and not destructive, but it could also be fiercely competitive.

Dr. Guptha also predicts 2009 will be a demanding year that will extract extra hard work and large commitments but without proportional rewards. Transformations, policy changes, conviction politics will mark the year distinctly. He continues by adding that "the hyperinflation will continue haunting the world and the economic tsunami will continue to ravage most of the countries. Public anger will lead to strikes and demonstrations. Unrest, general discontentment and social violence will be visible strongly. 2009 will carry over the torch of instability but will show signs of recovery dawn by the year end. Prices of valuables, properties and stocks will fall heavily but will try to limp back in the second half of the year".

However it is not all doom and gloom for everybody. Wealth will be made like any other year but it will be extremely tricky to retain it. More and more people will resort to unethical tactics and illegal short-cuts to gain quick money. Aggressive competition will add fuel to fire, leading to open confrontations, fraud exposures and legal mess. Business people will indulge in staff poaching, unethical acquisitions and forced mergers. Impulsive buying sprees and unplanned budgets will be common, resulting in financial chaos. Controlling the expenses will be a tough challenge for one and all. Armed robbery and religious conflicts will reach new high levels.

09/09/2009 What it means to me

Definitely and without a doubt 2009 has been a year of change and challenge for me, like the Ox I remain strong and resilient and at the same time cognitive of change.
