Soul Urge number
9
Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
About this number
I carries 9, the largest value a vowel can have, so a name whose only vowel is I lands here at once. Cora Stone takes the slower road: O and A make 7, O and E make 11, and 7 plus 11 comes to 18, then 9.
Cheasley in 1916 gives a striking list for 9: intuition, sympathy, unorthodox thought and the extremist. Walton in 1914 holds that 9 stands for universal and personal love. Sepharial's 1911 list, on the other hand, prints grief and anxiety, and the three accounts cannot all describe the same thing.
Modern popular books read a Soul Urge of 9 as a private wish to serve something larger than one's own circle. Cheasley's note on disregard of possessions is the older detail most in keeping with that. Taylor in 1926 gives the vowel I a field of expression as wide as the world.
