Nine represents the Cardinal Directions because nine is shorthand for one of the four 90 degree positions on the 360 degree horizon, ie 36 is shorthand for 360, 4.5 is shorthand for 45, etc. The Cardinal Directions of North, East, West, and South are quintessential to time keeping, because the Meridian, or imaginary line running from the beginning of the horizon at Due South all the way to the beginning of the horizon at Due North, is the culmination mark for any given day's one degree of the 360 degrees of the Ecliptic and the Equinox of the year is marked by a sunrise and sunset at Due East and Due West; Therefore, the cardinal 90 degree positions on the horizon are the bearers of the heavens or time. Four cardinal points on the Ecliptic mark the time of a particular day, because the rising and setting stars of that day are 90 degree counterparts to stars at culmination points when the rising and setting stars are on the eastern and western horizons. When the day's rising and setting stars culminate at Noon and Midnight on opposite sides of the Earth, the stars that started out as that day's counterpart 90 degree culmination points on opposite sides of the Earth will be on the eastern and western horizon, ie time is marked by four 90 degree points on the Ecliptic that change positions every six hours in a clockwise direction with the Earth's rotation. Because the Pleiades are key to time keeping, they are associated with being the bearers of the Cardinal Directions that ...
