For numerologists
The number nine holds a special rank in some cultures. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative, according to numerologists.
-In Thailand, the government joined Thais nationwide in paying respect to His Majesty the King, the ninth monarch of the Chakri Dynasty, at 9.09am on the auspicious date of the ninth day of the ninth month of 2009.
-In China, nine is associated with long life due to its similarity in pronunciation to the local word for long-lasting.
-In Japan, the word for nine is a homophone of the word for suffering, so the number is considered highly unlucky.
