This is a period in which you must identify with some larger project or goal that is bigger than you, ~first~. Your greatest satisfaction will be in providing for others, as well as for yourself. Those in business will draw much personal gratification in knowing that they are helping their employees support their families. Those involved in social activism -- a particularly appealing choice of careers during the 9 Pinnacle -- will feel themselves strengthened by the knowledge that they are advancing the safety and well-being of society. The 9 Pinnacle is a time in which you apply your energies to the good of the larger community. As a result, there is an element of self-sacrifice present. To some degree, you must subordinate your personal priorities to those of a larger cause. We are not suggesting martyrdom but making a conscious effort on your part to strike a balance between the good of your milieu and your own personal desires.

This is a good time for financial growth and progress in business affairs. It is a period in which you face a large challenge and must give yourself entirely to it.

The 9 Pinnacle also promises much reward in drama, writing and art. You have a heightened esthetic sense, and any latent artistic talent you already possess will be enhanced and brought to the surface. If you have been in business, you may suddenly be drawn to the arts as a benefactor or patron, supplying support for theater productions or artists.

You will feel an increased sense of social responsibility and compassion for the many. You will want to help those less fortunate than yourself and will likely apply yourself to some social cause or philanthropy. This is a period in which you feel a greater love for the good of your community, country, and the world. Interestingly, you are not restricted by prejudice or boundaries of class or country. You see humanity as a whole. Your love is not personal, however, but for the many.

Many under the 9 Pinnacle are drawn to religion or philosophy and have the capacity to spread some doctrine or teaching. In short, you are highly idealistic. You will likely travel extensively during this period and meet people from many walks of life.

No matter what your area of expertise, you have a chance not only for success but for fame.
