Seeing Numbers 9 and 16

Question:
[husband name and birth date removed] My question: I have been seeing the number 9 & 16 often in the last 4 months roughly. Lately it's more 16. My husband and I met April 16 2010 and were married 6 months later on October 16 2010. At the moment we are not living together but I believe we just need time. I've been praying to my arc angel Rafael and to God and the universe to help me with my marriage and bring us back to a place where we are able to work at it together. I get messages all the time to be patient and that some things just take a little more time then others and stuff like that. Am I going crazy? Like why is the number appearing so often and it's a number that means a lot to me. Any suggestions on what is happening? Or how would I interpret this? I mean it's amazing, but I don't understand what to do with this? Is someone trying to tell me something?? Thank you for your time and patience. It is much appreciated. GOD BLESS YOU!

Some of the things you mention are outside the realm of numerology. But I can provide the numerological meanings for the number 9 and 16. And I can talk about why people repetitively see certain numbers.

Generally, when people start seeing a certain number again and again, the number has personal meaning or emotional significance. The number is noticed, the seeing has personal impact, and the seeing is remembered.

In your case, the number 16 is a number that means a lot to you. It's unsurprising that you remember the fact when you see the number.

I don't know where the number 9 comes from. It isn't a currently significant number in your numerology chart. I expect 9 is a number that also has meaning or signficance for you.

What tends to make people continue to see certain numbers all the time is if they wonder why — wonder if there's a personally signficant reason or message for seeing the number — then a mystery is created.

With a mystery, the mind makes extra effort to bring conscious attention to anything associated with the mystery. Which means that number. So the number is seen more often, day after day after day.

Often, there's no more message in seeing the number than the fact that the number already has personal meaning or emotional significance. That doesn't mean there can't be additional personal meaning or message, just that often there is not.

Perhaps the meanings of the numbers will help you decide. Click the links for an entire article about the meaning of the number:

The number 9, among other things, is a humanitarian number.

The number 16, among other things, is a number of introspection and inner wisdom.

Note that the number 9 will have a significant position in your numerology chart in a little more than a decade. And that's your power number.
