Number nine proves fatal for Benazir Bhutto

Bangalore, Dec 27 (UNI) Nine ultimately proved fatal for Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto with the number recurring in her troublesome life.

The number came back to haunt her today -- December 27, 2007 which adds up to nine. Ms Bhutto was assassinated during an election rally in Rawalpindi this evening in the run up to the January polls.

She was born on June 21, 1953. According to Numerology, the year 1953 adds to nine. Similarly, October 18, 2007, the date on which she returned to Pakistan, came to nine.

Her father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was hanged to death, became the Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1971 (again nine).

Her party's short form PPP adds upto 21, referring to her birth date.

Number nine kept repeating in her key political events like meeting President Parvez Musharraf in Abu Dhabi on July 27 this year, while she was kept under house arrest on November nine.

According to Mr Sainath, an astrologer, she was killed by a weapon following the strong combination of Saturn and Mars. Saturn indicated death by weapon, while Mars represented violence.

''Mars represents nine and in Indian Numerology, the number is the ultimate as it represents God. However, it has proved to be negative for Ms Bhutto,'' he said.

Eight is the other number that keeps repeating, though less often than nine. Death is indicated by Saturn which represents number eight -- Ms Bhutto remained in self-imposed exile for eight years.

Saturn, the symbol of fate, brings volatility in one's life and there is no middle path. It will take the person either to the highest level like when Ms Bhutto became the Prime Minister for the first time in 1988 or the lowest level like what happened today.
