Compassionate, idealistic, and selfless. Number 9 represents universal love, completion, and humanitarianism. You are driven to make the world a better place.

What the vowels want: someone to be responsible for. Care is how you say everything you cannot say directly, and the house is never quite done because you are never quite done giving.
