Learning style: auditory learner

SoleNumber 9 processes information primarily through hearing, and you can hear both the spoken and unspoken word. As an auditory learner, you must be able to hear what is being said, with limited outside distractions. 

You need the opportunity to talk about it, and need to be encouraged not to just go within and have conversations with self, but to talk about things and engage with others.

Thinking style: whole thinker

In the process of learning, understanding and gaining knowledge, the thinking style for SoleNumber 9 is whole thinker, rather than linear thinker. You are perceptive and can think in multiple directions and are seen as very intelligent. 

You can make connections among apparently unrelated concepts and ideas, and really like open-ended instructions with options for possible outcomes.

Creative process:

SoleNumber 9’s concepts and ideas are free-flowing and based on forward-looking, original initiation. Rather than looking at what others have done, you use internal stimuli and insights to create. 

Fostering creativity within, includes giving you the independence you need to create what you want and without a definite outcome in mind.

Experiencing time:

SoleNumber 9 experiences time all at the same time, with good memory and self-awareness. Your subjective experience of time is that you are not always discerning about which event or memory came first. Sometimes you have little distinction between past and present events. Your time perception is often that “everything that has happened and everything that is happening” is happening now. 

For some of the other categories, time is experienced one step at a time, in a logical progression. Their subjective experience of time is that one event follows another in succession and when the event is over, it becomes a memory. Time has an order to it.


The rhythm of the Tao:

The Tao is the natural order of the universe and keeps the world balanced and flowing.  Tai Chi energy is the Tao energy that matches SoleNumber 9.

When light and expanding, Tai Chi energy is balanced, allowing and non-resistant.

When dark and collapsed, Tai Chi energy is unbalanced.

SoleNumber 9 embodies the natural energy of the Tai Chi.


Knowing this, contributes to understanding yourself at a deep level, and helps you to become the best version of yourself that you can be. Walk the path to purpose and a beautiful life. 

The day that you were born is a remarkable day and there is an energy that is carried forward into your life. Your SoleNumbers help guide you in life and contain remarkable insights into what drives you and what makes you great.
