Initial R: the meaning
Eighteenth letter, R is worth 9: drive and the strength to accomplish are put here at the service of an ideal.
You have a sense of commitment: you defend what matters to you with a conviction that carries people along. It closes the second series of the alphabet, as I closes the first. Worn as an initial, it points to a temperament that commits. When the neighborhood school threatens to close a class, you propose writing to the town hall; in a debate among friends, you defend with fire the absent person who is being mocked.
It is an emotional consonant, and its rolled or guttural sound, depending on the region, gives relief to the voice: people hear you. The impression passes through the intensity of your convictions, which is felt from the first sentences.
Apart from R, only I gives 9, and it lives it by sympathizing, by feeling before acting. R lives the 9 by fighting: it moves to action and rallies people. People recognize ardor and generosity in you. They may also assume your opinion is formed too quickly, as if the debate were settled before it began.
A tip
In your next heated exchange, restate the other person’s argument before giving yours: your conviction will carry further and the exchange will stay open.
