In numerology, you would add the numbers up, thus:

6+6=12 1+2=3+6=9

Since 9 is the last of the core numbers in numerology, it is one of rather higher ideals, as in reaching some completion, to once again start a new cycle at zero. Some 9 attributes might include the following Humanitarian, compassionate, romantic, selfless, generous, philanthropic, loving, wisdom, idealist, artistic, spiritual healer, all allowing, other worldly, blending.

Whereas 9+9=18 1+8=9+9=18 1+8=9 So, hmmm...not sure if they are like a horseshoe or not, but it is interesting that 3 nines comes out to 9 and 3 sixes also come out to 9!**bg**
