Decoding 'year number 9'

The trend of "year number 9" or "world year number 9" exploded on September 9. Not only did many young people respond, sharing their own lessons and experiences, but many Vietnamese artists also responded.

MC Mai Ngọc, singer Hồ Ngọc Hà, and many other artists shared posts and personal photos, conveying messages about letting go of the past and wishing for the future.

What does "Year of the Nine" mean?

On September 9th, social media users easily see posts about the "year of the 9" or the "year of purification." For many, this period holds special significance, as an opportunity to reflect, let go, and "purify" themselves from toxic relationships and things that are incompatible with their lives.

The origin of this trend comes from numerology. Accordingly, "year number 9" or " world year number 9" is the last year in a 9-year cycle, carrying the energy of completion, ending, and preparing for a new beginning.

According to numerology, the "year of the number 9" or "world year number 9" carries the energy of completion, endings, and preparation for new beginnings.

In addition, there is information that September 9 marks the end of the "world year number 9". However, according to numerology researchers, this is not correct. In fact, numerology is calculated according to the solar calendar, "world year number 9" will end on December 31, 2025 and "world year number 1" officially begins on January 1, 2026.

September 9, 2025 is considered a special date in the nine-year cycle, coinciding with the "Year of the Number 9." This is a convergence of the energy of the number 9, bringing powerful inspiration for thinking and creativity, urging us to let go of the old and affirm new goals.

This is a fitting occasion for everyone to reflect, write down things they want to let go of, and express their wishes and goals for the future. September 9th is likened to an "energy gateway," helping to close the old chapter and begin a new one.

On social media platforms like Threads, TikTok, and Facebook, the topic of "the year of the 9" has attracted much discussion, with a series of posts sharing lessons learned, who left and who stayed...

Furthermore, this trend has been fueled by a series of events in the entertainment industry and on social media since the beginning of the year. Whenever a major scandal erupts, many commentators use the concept of the number 9 in a year to explain it.

The artists responded

On September 9, many Vietnamese artists shared on their personal pages statuses looking back on the past journey, while also expressing their hopes for the new journey.

MC Mai Ngọc said she has been reflecting a lot on the meaning of ending the "number 9 year". She agrees with the viewpoint: "Whatever karma needed to be repaid has been repaid, and tomorrow we will enter a new period of sowing seeds."

“On September 9, 2025, people say today marks the end of the year number 9. All karmic debts that needed to be paid have been settled, and tomorrow we will enter a new period of sowing seeds. Reflecting on it, it seems true… 'Life doesn't force us to suffer, it only wants us to awaken,'” MC Mai Ngọc wrote.

MC Mai Ngoc ponders a lot about the meaning of ending "year number 9".

Singer Ho Ngoc Ha posted a prayer image on the special day with the message: “Sending love to everyone, wishing our new journey to be complete and peaceful. May the universe knock gently and always protect us. May those who are fortunate enough to see this, close your eyes, take a deep breath and pray for peace for yourself and everyone.”

Actress Quách Thu Phương also chose September 9th to share her life reflections: “It doesn't matter! People can praise you, criticize you, love you, hate you, be sincere with you, or be deceitful to you. Because life is full of variety, and whatever happens to you has some meaning. It's the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one, filled with the best things.”

Actress Quách Thu Phương posted photos and her reflections on September 9, 2025.

It can be said that using numerology to explain the instability in life can bring a sense of comfort, but also has the potential to make people have a one-sided view, ignoring the real cause. On the other hand, some people take advantage of this trend to spread positive messages such as training themselves, improving knowledge or giving up bad habits.

Choosing a symbolic milestone to summarize, set a goal, or open a new chapter is considered a form of self-care. Small rituals such as cleaning, journaling, or naming a stage can help people feel in control of their lives and reduce anxiety about change.
