Walking With the 9: A Soul’s Journey Through Time and Truth

When he sat down in front of me and gave me his birthdate, he chuckled and said, “I know, I’m a dinosaur.” I laughed and said something light in return—but I didn’t know just how much truth was hidden in that little joke.

Thirty minutes later, we’re still deep in conversation, and my eyes keep going back to the way his 9 shows up. It wasn’t a regular 9—there was an overhang, like a little piece hanging off the back of it. It caught my attention.

And then it hit me: His 9 looks like a dinosaur. But not just any dinosaur—one of those with the little piece off the back of their head, walking upright on two legs.

Immediately, the phrase “Then and Now” dropped in. It came through clearly, like a soft whisper from the guides.

You see, 9s are mediators. They stand at the gates—not just between people, but between timelines, between the physical and the spiritual, between chaos and clarity. They’re not here to uphold the kind of personal moral compass a 5 might have—they move according to a higher, spiritual law. Something older. Wiser. Universal.

In his case, that 9 was part of a 29, which gives us a powerful goal: emotional mediation. And suddenly it all made sense—he's someone with one foot in the “then” and one foot in the “now.”

He carries ancient emotional wisdom but is fully present in the modern emotional landscape. That’s exactly the kind of person who can guide others in learning how to process and mediate their own emotional world. It was fascinating to witness.

Curious (and a little amused by the synchronicity), I googled the dinosaur he reminded me of. The first one that popped up?

Parasaurolophus.

And here’s what I found:

“The Parasaurolophus symbolizes intelligence, wisdom, and adaptability due to its complex social structure. Its unique crest suggests it was highly intelligent and well-adapted to its environment. It communicated through its crest, showing strong social behavior and cooperation. It wasn’t aggressive; it lived in groups and used non-violent communication to coexist peacefully. This symbolizes the importance of teamwork and collaboration in nature.”

I sat there in awe. The whole thing lined up perfectly. His number. His personality. Even his joke.

So no, he’s not just a dinosaur—he’s a walking bridge between eras, a carrier of wisdom, and a gentle teacher of emotional harmony. And that, to me, is the magic of Ninth Key Numerology. When the numbers start to speak, and the symbols align, they reveal a truth that the soul has always known.
