Roger Lancelyn Green, I think, in an essay in C.S. Lewis at the Breakfast Table (later Remember C.S. Lewis), said that Lewis had told him he planned on either "three or seven or nine--those are the magic numbers." Do you think that's probably the source? That would make sense to me.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

Nine could have been the nine muses ("descend to earth, descend, celestial Nine"), but if you buy the planetary scheme (and I do, of course), nine would have to have been the seven planets plus the Stellatum (the Fixed Stars) and the Primum Mobile, I guess. Not sure what exactly he would have done with the latter two, though; they don't strike me as exactly having "personality" like the planets.
