The number 9 is the number of power in Feng Shui for very good reasons. It means active power in thoughts, emotions and actions.
Yin and Yang Have Numbers
The “yin and yang” symbol, is made up of two equal but opposite shapes/forces, one which represents the sunny side of the hill (yang) and the other one which represents the shady side of the hill (yin).
The sunny side of the hill (yang) is hotter, drier, and lighter. This is active power.
The shady side of the hill (yin) is colder, more humid, and darker. This is yielding power.
Yang active power is represented by the number 3 – indivisible. The triangle, the geometrical figure with three sides, cannot be deformed. It’s strong!
Yin, yielding power, is represented by the number 2, which is easily split down the middle.
Three Levels of Reality
There are 3 levels of reality (also known as three levels of existence) – Heaven, Humankind and Earth. These represent, respectively, the world of ideas, the world of emotions, and the world of physical action).
Heaven – Ideas
Humanking – Emotions
Earth – Actions
9 is the Number of Power
The number 9 is the number of maximum power, because it represents Yang active power (3) in all 3 Levels of Reality.
The number 9 means that you have strength in your ideas, your emotions and your actions. You get inspired ideas from Heaven, then you get motivated to action by strong emotions. That’s how you create Heaven on Earth!
I knew all this when I created the Nine Steps to Feng Shui® System. However, there was a detail I didn’t know at the time.
The Temple of Heaven
The Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China, was built with sets of 9 steps to connect the lower area with the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
The emperor of China did a ritual, twice per year, to pray for good harvests in this site.
When I created the Nine Steps to Feng Shui System, I didn’t know that there were literally flights of stairs with 9 steps in a site of sacred ancient Chinese architecture!

TRANSCRIPT:
In ancient Chinese culture, the number nine is the number of the Emperor, because it is the number that represents power.
The Emperor was considered the leader of the people, in the sense that he is responsible for the people, and he is accountable both to the people and to Heaven.
The Emperor ruled based on the Mandate of Heaven, which meant that Heaven was blessing his rule – as long as he took good care of the people.
This is an image of the Temple of Heaven in the Forbidden City in Beijing. This particular building is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
The Emperor came here twice a year to pray for good harvests, in a ceremony that involved nine steps and three stages.
The three stages represented the three levels of reality – Heaven, Earth, and Humankind – and the nine steps represented the Nine Principles of Natural Order.
