Nine of Pentacles
A woman walks amid nine pentacles that are blossoming like flowers, with a bird perched on her palm. Instead of thinking about the needs of others, you may now focus on your own practical requirements, spend money on yourself, and think about what you desire.
The Nine of Pentacles denotes substantial riches and financial gain, but only as a result of your hard work and smart preparation; a fair recompense for wise deeds. It may also mean that a period of suffering is coming to an end for you and that a period of joyous living is approaching. It may also be a sign of a desire for appreciation or charity. On a less positive side, it also symbolizes a lone wolf, implying that you are still looking for company and a group of individuals with whom to share your riches.
It may be scary to stand on your own. It's part of what makes growing up so difficult: we have to learn a new way of doing things and eventually let go of our parents' control over our choices and life. It may be frightening but also rewarding when we eventually walk out the door of our parent's house and into the world of our adulthood. This could also be about starting your own business and standing on your own in that regard.
A lovely woman stands in the middle of a verdant garden in the Nine of Pentacles. She is dressed to the nines in a beautiful, flowing yellow gown and a magnificent cap. The garden itself is plentiful, with green foliage, scarlet fruits, and gleaming coins overflowing. The woman even lays one hand on the highest coin, which is, of course, the crest of a mountain of coins. The woman carries a hawk or falcon in her other hand, probably for hunting... a favorite pastime among aristocratic women. The lady is unusual in that she is alone; she has no guard, no male counterpart, and no other female companions.
This woman was able to stand on her own for the first time — no aid or other assistance was required. She can survive on her own in her succulent garden since the growing fruits and the bird of prey provide her with all of the food she needs. This card invites you to set your own terms and figure out how to stand up on your own.
Financial Independance is Near
The woman in the garden, along with her hunting bird, exemplifies a degree of physical stability that can only be attained on one's own. Occasionally we need a group to assist us to reach where we need to go, and other times we need guiding mentors to aid us along the way... but sometimes we can accomplish our objectives on our own. Celebrating with friends is fun, but this kind of celebration of personal achievements is a special kind of sweet that should be experienced.
Finally, the Nine of Pentacles refers to personal prosperity. Some of the objectives you establish for yourself may be difficult for others to comprehend. You want to break a world record, start a new profession, or just reach a particular level of internal, personal development. All that counts is that you desire to achieve your objective; don't let people convince you otherwise! This card indicates that if you persevere, you will achieve your objective.
When you encounter this card in your readings, here are some questions to ask yourself. What steps do you need to take to become your own person? Is there anybody on whom you place an excessive amount of trust? Is it you or someone else who makes your decisions? What steps must you do to be able to stand on your own two feet? What steps can you take to achieve and maintain stability?
