Encyclopedia of Freemasonry: On the topic of the "Number Nine" #mason #masonic #freemason

Number Seven

Number Three

Twenty Seven and Other Suspicions

Twelve: Just as 7 is composed of the Sun's 4 and Moon's 3, so too is the number 12. And just as 7 is predominantly Solar, so too is the number 12. 5 elements 7 archetypes

MAGIC SQUARES Likewise we can see the numerics behind all the planetary forces through their magic squares. In which the Sun square of 36 (6by6) had a Magic sum of 111=3 and a total sum of 666=9. The Moons square of 81 (9by9) gives a magic sum of 369=9 and total sum 3321=9.

Digitized Sums: The total Sum of Magic squares will be either 1 or 9, while the magic Sums will be unique to each Planet: Mars 2 & 1 (5by5) Sun 3 & 9 (6by6) Venus 4 & 1 (7by7) Saturn 6 & 9 (3by3) Jupiter 7 & 1 (4by4) Mercury 8 & 1 (8by8) Moon 9 & 9 (9by9) 1 and 5 are absent.

Magic square Dimensions: You can easily see that the dimensions follow the Descending order: Saturn 3by3 Jupiter 4by4 Mars 5by5 Sun 6by6 Venus 7by7 Mercury 8by8 Moon 9by9

2 groups of planets Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury having total magic square digitized summations of 1. These set up 2 pairs of opposites (Ven-Mars & Jup-Mer) This creates the Square of 4 & Saturn, Sun, Moon having total digitized summations of 9. (Su-Mo opp Sat). Triangle of 3

In the system of 7: 1 and 5 are absent as these are the two odd numbers which are secondary numbers in creation, whereas 7 and 9 are primary creators. Su-Mo opposite Saturn give the 3,6,9 triangle. 2-4 Mars-Venus opposition & 7-8 Jup-Mer opposition give the Square of 2,4,7,8

In the system of 9 the odd numbers are: Sun, Rahu, Ketu, Saturn, Mars (1,3,5,7,9 respectively) Evens are: Mercury, Jupiter, Moon, Venus (2,4,6,8 respecitvely) (Symmetric vs. Asymmetric)

In the end astrology is just simple math of even and odd vibrations and repeating patterns of mathematical symmetry

All the best

Comments: 9 is the number of the moon's completion being composed of a triangle whose points are 3 (3x3x3). Again this triangular cycle of 3 sets of 9 nakshatras gives the 27 day lunar cycle. 9 also gives birth to the svbc & moons magic square of 9x9=81.
