Eclipses are eclipsing, a full moon is on the wane and we are in the midst of a double portal, folks.
As we stand in the potent space between the lunar eclipse on September 7 and the solar eclipse on September 21 — we also welcome the 9/9/9 portal on September 9.
This week’s portal is considered a triple nine, as it marks the ninth day of the ninth month of a year that adds up to the number 9 (2+0+2+5).
In numerology, the number 9 is the number of completion.
It represents transformation and transition, the end of a karmic cycle, and the onset of another: closure and conclusion.
While the lunar eclipse on the 7th was hell bent and blood-bound to remove dead weight and clear old patterns from our paths — the portal sets the stage for the new you to come through.
As the last single digit, nine is a threshold number that allows us to look back at what has been and forward toward what lies ahead.
As such, nine is something of a sage digit — absorbing answers from spiritual sources and transmuting them into practical application.
“Number 9 nudges us to let go of the past and seize new opportunities for personal evolution and enlightenment,” Hong Kong-based certified counselor and award-winning astrologist Letao Wang told The Post.
The 9/9/9 portal opens three days before and closes three days after — but reaches its peak this Tuesday, September 9.
“The number nine symbolizes completion, spiritual rebirth, and universal love,” shared Maya of @hz. quantumhealing.
She noted that when nine appears thrice as it will this Tuesday, “it magnifies these energies into a powerful gateway for rebirth and ascension.”
Bless up and beam up, babies.
While the 9/9 portal opens every year, we will not have another 9/9/9 power point until September 2034.
Get it while you can.
Ritual for the 9/9/9 portal
Maya also shared a simple ritual to tap into the potent power of this portal:
- Write down what you’re ready to release: any fears, habits, or beliefs
- Gently burn the paper or tear it into nine pieces to symbolise letting go
- Place your hand on your heart and ask ‘How can I serve the highest good?’
- Sit in stillness for a few minutes and receive guidance
“This portal is an invitation to close all cycles and step into spiritual clarity, surrender, listen, and let transformation begin,” said Maya.
Whatever you surrender on the 9th will be reinforced on the following day, September 10, as it carries the energy of the number 1. This number correlates to a clean slate and a fresh start, effectively sweeping away the bad vibes and the stale stories to ready the way for leveling up.
Zodiac signs affected by the 9/9/9 portal
While all zodiac signs will be affected by this portal and offered the same opportunity to maximize their power, two stand apart.
In traditional numerology, the number 9 is associated with the planet Mars — our luminary of drive and desire. Mars is the ancient ruler of Scorpio and the modern ruler of Aries, meaning those with significant placements (rising sign or personal planets) stand to gain and glean the most from this moment.
