People born on February 9 are independent and generous individuals with their own unique and at times non-conformist perspective on life. They are shrewd observers of human nature and capable of enormous understanding of others’ problems. Above all, though, they are fighters; life may have given them a few knocks but they have managed to bounce back with resilience, and this winning attitude can lead them to great achievements.
The remarkable ability of people born on this day to understand people and situations, even those they have not met themselves, makes them much sought after for advice and support. They make great teachers and leaders, and they influence and inspire not so much by technique but by example, showing others through their own actions how to rise above challenges with a winning attitude.
Yet when it comes to applying that same penetrating insight to their own lives and relationships they tend to be overly critical, measuring themselves by an impossibly high ideal. It is important for them to learn to be as tolerant and supportive of themselves as they are of others. Before the age of forty the needs and approval of others tend to be dominant but at the age of forty there is a turning point which places a greater emphasis on self-awareness and acceptance, as well as a need to take the initiative in all areas of their lives, possibly with a new relationship or venture.
The strong presence of people born on this day can sometimes make people think of them as aggressive, but behind this they possess a soft side that takes rejection and criticism to heart. They also have a tendency to act rashly; they need to remain calm under pressure and not allow their good will to be exploited. Once they are able to regard themselves more positively—and to be less harsh in their self-criticism—they will be able to achieve the high goals they set themselves, in the process becoming an inspirational model to everyone lucky enough to wander across their path.
☆ On the dark side：Inconsistent, long-suffering, anxious
☆ At your best：Powerful, generous, resilient
Those colorful individuals born on February 9 are attracted by exciting happenings and at the same time generate a good bit of energy themselves. They are most often highly spontaneous and somewhat unrestrained, so it is their task to develop the capacity to buckle down when necessary. By directing their energies, rather than scattering them, they can be far more productive. Also, by reining in some of their enthusiasm, they will be less likely to burn out prematurely or expose themselves to harmful influences.
As family members or friends, February7 9 people are often relied on to raise the spirits of those most troubled. Themselves no strangers to suffering, more highly evolved individuals born on this day are masters at taking profound, often painful experiences from their past and making them the basis for an uplifting attitude that can inspire others. They also have a way of turning potentially negative situations to their advantage.
Especially in later life, those born on this day are often known as people who have paid their dues, and having done so, are capable of understanding the difficulties that others face with wisdom and compassion. They can often say with confidence, "I've been there before, and I know what it's like." In a word, February 9 people are survivors, and therefore hold out hope to those who are experiencing misfortune or struggling with life's challenges. Not surprisingly, their sympathy and insight is a highly sought after commodity in their social circle.
Some February 9 people may appear beaten down by their experiences, as their body language speaks of emotional wear and tear. Yet they still struggle to remain positive and vibrant anyway. Such profound and interesting people are engaged in a constant battle between the dark and light sides of their personality. They are fighters—aggressive, explosive and unpredictable.
When they are in a great mood it is as if the sun is shining. When not, it is best for others to disappear quickly... if they can! It requires a tremendous personal effort on the part of this type of volatile February 9 person to bring the more upsetting elements of him/herself under control, assuming he/she has the inclination to do so. In fact, the willpower those born on this day demonstrate on specific occasions can be truly remarkable, but unfortunately constancy and consistency of purpose can be sorely lacking. Many February 9 people are prone to self-pity and thus should avoid alcohol and other depressants like the plague. Most everyone born on this day will need to strive for stability in their lives, and part of this process involves depending on an understanding mate and/or very close friends, and cultivating trust in general.
Power Thought：I will always seek the possible, not the obligatory，Fate itself is the ultimate Zen master
Those born on the 9th day of the month are ruled by the number 9 and by the planet Mars. The number 9 is powerful in its influence on other numbers (any number added to 9 yields that number: e.g.. 5+9=1-*. 4+1=5. and any number multiplied by 9 yields a 9: e.g.. 9x5= »5. 4+5=9), and February 9 people are similarly able to influence those around them. The planet Mars is forceful and aggressive, embodying male energy, and for February 9 people of both sexes such powerful energy is made all the more explosive by the influence of Uranus, ruler of Aquarius.
The 9th card of the Major Arcana is The Hermit, who is usually depicted walking with a lantern and a stick—he represents meditation, isolation and quietude. The Hermit also signifies crystallized wisdom and ultimate discipline. He is a taskmaster who motivates by conscience and guides others on their path. The positive indications of this card are stick-to-it-iveness. purpose, profundity and concentration: negative qualities include dogmatism, intolerance, mistrust and discouragement, underlining the tendency of certain February 9 people toward self-pity. However, the positive elements of this card should act as an inspirational model to all born on this day.

They don’t give up easily on a relationship if it starts to flounder, because they believe that with the right attitude almost any kind of problem can be ironed out.
People born on this day are often blessed with boundless energy so, unless they give in to cravings for comfort food or don’t take enough care of themselves, they are unlikely to have problems with their weight. If they do have weight problems it is because they have been neglecting themselves or have dipped into depression or anxiety. It is important for them to eat little and often, and to make sure they stay away from too much alcohol and mood-altering drugs. A regular exercise routine is also recommended to keep their metabolism high. They would also benefit from breathing exercises and meditation, and if they are feeling low or uptight a few drops of jasmine essential oil on a handkerchief to breathe in will help them see the sunnier side.
Those born on February 9 are prone in their darker moments to becoming depressed and aiminating on the problems of their lives. For this reason they must avoid daigs which reinforce this tendency (notably alcohol). They must also be wary of mood elevators, which can throw them into an overexcited state. They would do well to pay more attention to their diets which tend to lack sufficient planning and consideration of nutrients. Some born on this day don't eat regularly enough and may even go in an anorexic direction, another reason for avoiding drugs which raise their metabolism. Only mild physical exercise is here recommended, particularly regular daily walks, yoga (usually combined with meditation and breathing exercises) and or swimming.
These people are natural mentors and messengers and they make great teachers, advisors, counselors, consultants, therapists, and psychologists. Their multi-talented personality may, however, lead them into many different careers and in many cases they will have more than one career. Science and social reform will allow them freedom and growth but other possible career choices include the arts, theater, design, property development, and technology. They also thrive in careers that involve travel and change, and may be drawn toward careers in aviation, navigation, and international business.
The life path of people born on this day is to be less self-critical. When they can learn to be more positive about themselves, their destiny is to lead and inspire others with their positive attitude, devoting their energies to a worthy cause.
Keep your chin up. Don't let yourself be dragged down by the negativity of others Conserve your energies Consider carefully the effect you have on those around you, and the demands you make of them. It is not always easy to know you.
