~first~ and ~second~, this combination often creates a partnership that goes well beyond romance. Both idealists, you are sufficiently focused and have enough clarity of purpose to devote your life to a single goal, paying little or no attention to the monetary aspects. Contrary to what one might expect, this often results in financial prosperity, although not usually until somewhat later in life.

Most likely, the recognition of your similar outlooks was responsible for the initial attraction between you. Mutually inspiring endless conversations likely helped you feel your dreams were attainable and something you could pursue together. Your bond is strong and should not weaken over time since you thrive on sharing each other's experiences. Your compatibility is powerful and strengthens each of you as individuals. You may find yourselves choosing almost identical careers, perhaps even within the same organization or institution. Each of these similarities makes others see you as an unbreakable couple.

However, some pitfalls may exist, even in this extremely compatible combination. ~first~ and ~second~, in extreme cases, the number 9 shows a tendency to believe in concepts and ideals to such an extent that it becomes an obsession. Self-righteousness, narrow-minded thinking, and religious fanaticism are common, nor are arrogance, pride, and a superficial confidence. This helps explain the fact that the number 9 is often found among political and religious extremists. Excessive belief in your ideals could also cause problems in your relationship, especially if your concepts differ or you devote 'too much time' to an organization or study your partner does not support. It is important for both of you to remain open to the ideas of others, to respect differing opinions, and to remain humble. 

~first~ and ~second~, the only real danger in a relationship between 9's found in this part of the chart appears when one or both of you loses the ability for honest self-criticism and self-examination. It is essential to keep in mind that even with idealism, moderation is required - in fact, it is the keyword to safeguarding this otherwise excellent number combination.
