1. Number Symbolism in Tarot: Because there are nine months of pregnancy, nine symbolizes selfishness, compassion, universality, humanitarianism, and spirituality.
2. On the KabalisticTree of Life, nine is the number of Yesod, the third sephirah from the top on the central pillar. Astrologically, it is associated with the Moon. The Moon is the companion of Earth, so nine also represents the astral plane, the companion of the physical plane. It is the astral that is the underpinning of the physical senses.
