What does "year 9" mean?

On September 9, social media users can easily see posts about "year 9" or "year of purification". For many people, this period has a special meaning, an opportunity for them to look back, let go, and "purify" toxic relationships and things that are not suitable for them.

The origin of this trend comes from numerology. Accordingly, "year number 9" or " world year number 9" is the last year in a 9-year cycle, carrying the energy of completion, ending, and preparing for a new beginning.

According to numerology, the "year number 9" or "world year number 9" carries the energy of completion, endings, and preparation for new beginnings.

In addition, there is information that September 9 marks the end of the "world year number 9". However, according to numerology researchers, this is not correct. In fact, numerology is calculated according to the solar calendar, "world year number 9" will end on December 31, 2025 and "world year number 1" officially begins on January 1, 2026.

September 9, 2025 is considered a special time in the 9-year cycle, when September 9 coincides with the "world year number 9". This is the resonance of the number 9 energy, bringing strong inspiration in thinking, creativity, urging to let go of old things and affirm new goals.

This is a good opportunity for everyone to look back and write down the things they want to give up as well as their wishes and goals for the future. September 9 is considered an “energy gate”, helping to close the old journey and start a new one.

On social media platforms such as Threads, TikTok, and Facebook, the topic of "year number 9" attracted a lot of discussion, with a series of posts sharing lessons learned, who left and who stayed...

In addition, this trend has been fueled by a series of events in the entertainment industry and social networks since the beginning of the year. Whenever a major scandal breaks out, many commentators will use the concept of year number 9 to explain it.

Artists responded

On September 9, many Vietnamese artists shared on their personal pages statuses looking back on the past journey, while also expressing their hopes for the new journey.

“9/9/2025, people say today ends the year number 9. All karma that needs to be paid has been paid, tomorrow will enter the period of sowing new seeds. Thinking about it, it is true... 'Life does not force us to suffer, it just wants us to awaken'”, MC Mai Ngoc wrote.

May the universe knock gently and always protect us. May those who are fortunate enough to see this, close your eyes, take a deep breath and pray for peace for yourself and everyone.”

Actress Quach Thu Phuong also chose September 9 to share her life experiences: “Whatever! People can praise you, criticize you, love you, hate you, be sincere with you, or lie to you.

It can be said that using numerology to explain the instability in life can bring a sense of comfort, but also has the potential to make people have a one-sided view, ignoring the real cause. On the other hand, some people take advantage of this trend to spread positive messages such as training themselves, improving knowledge or giving up bad habits.

Choosing a symbolic milestone to summarize, set a goal, or open a new chapter is considered a form of self-care. Small rituals such as cleaning, journaling, or naming a stage can help people feel in control of their lives and reduce anxiety about change.
