September has always felt like a great time for a fresh start. And that’s no accident: apart from the astrology of the month, which is heavily influenced by earthy Virgo, the numerology of the month is also very potent — even more so this year.
The 999 Gateway that opens on Tuesday, September 9, is a great example of how our lives can change in September.
The power of 9 in numerology
Nines in numerology have great mystical power.
As the last single digit, 9 represents the closing of a circle and the beginning of a new one, like the Universe letting out a deep breath before being able to begin anew. The number 9 is also considered the pinnacle of completion and perfection, because it’s created from three threes and because all of its multiples contain it: 18, for instance, which is nine multiplied by two, becomes 1+8 = 9.
So on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year, the timing is always ideal for us to shed our old skin and let go of things and people in our life who no longer serve our highest good.
2025 is a triple 9 year
But this year, the mystical energies of the nines are more potent than ever. See, 2025 is also a 9 year in numerology: if you add its digits one by one, 2+0+2+5, you get 9. You may have noticed that 2025 feels like a year of endings and of closing karmic circles, and while this may not have always felt comfortable, it’s important so that we’re able to have a brand new beginning in 2026.
How to use the 999 Gateway to transform your life
On Tuesday, September 9, step into the next phase of your life by doing the following:
Step 1: Wash your hands with salt early in the day
As the water runs through your hands, concentrate on all the things you’re letting go of.
Step 2: Write 3 (or 9) things you’re letting go of, on 3 (or 9) bay leaves
Write one on each leaf. Thank them, and acknowledge that they have served their purpose. You are ready to let them go.
Step 3: Burn the bay leaves
Disperse the ashes to the wind. You’ll feel lighter, as a new stage in your life is about to begin!
