Nine of pentacles Tarot Card Meanings

Upright Card Meaning

The joy and grace contained within the Nine of Pentacles are palpable almost as soon as you reveal this beautiful card. Here is a card of fulfillment, of security. The Nine of Pentacles does not work anymore, the card luxuriates in the material rewards of labor.
Nor does the card need to work or strive anymore. This is a card of security and protection. The Nine of Pentacles is free to enjoy its comforts without worrying about the perils of the world, almost like a blooming garden protected from thieves by a high stone wall.
You are entering a period of satiation. Your toils might still be fresh in your memory, but they only serve to deepen your gratitude for all that you have now. Be at ease and luxuriate in your own successes, let your wants rather than your responsibilities dictate your choices for you have that luxury now.

Reversed Card Meaning

On the surface, the Nine of Pentacles reversed may seem as if it enjoys the same material success as the card when it is upright, but below the surface there is the ripple of something sinister. The Nine of Pentacles reversed may represent someone who manifests some of the same symbols of luxury and security as the card upright, but cannot actually afford it. They are either living beyond their means or deceiving others about their status.
The Nine of Pentacles reversed is a signal that you have invested too much of your self-worth in the outward manifestations of wealth, at the expense of your other needs (and your savings). If you are catching yourself spending twelve hours at work in order to afford the latest bauble that has caught your eye, this is a sign to reevaluate.
There is no happiness to be found in erecting a false image of prosperity when the real thing is not present. There is no purpose in exerting this much energy to maintain a social image. Allow yourself to live honestly and within your means.
