The Nine Of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Nine of Pentacles is a card of sacrifice and discipline as a means to getting what you want.

When this card is revealing in your reading you are in good hands. The Nine of Pentacles shows that unlike others, you have learned from your own mistakes and you are working on moving forward in your life. Right now is an excellent time to be making plans to complete goals, rather than to be starting on something new. Take the time now to reap what you have sown and to watch the positive materialize.

Often we mere mortals will finish a task and then move on to the next without a thought of consequences. This is not a time that you want to do that because the Nine of Pentacles usually represents positive rewards coming your way. As you may know 3 is a magic number. It is the number of the divine; a blessed digit. With the Nine it is the manifestation of 3, threefold (3x3=9) and it shows an array of good fortune for you.

The culmination of your heard work has come to a head and it is time to celebrate! It is also a great time for family, coming together, and planning events. You may want to celebrate with others or even show off your hard work a little bit. You never know, you may have some information to be sharing with people soon as well since this is a good card for fertility and family! Much good energy comes from this card and now is the time to dwell upon the possibilities that are being created and assert your focus into the positive areas of your life. Do not dwell in the past when the present has so much to offer!

The Nine of Pentacles in Love

Focus on the contacts that you have already made when looking for love. When the Nine of Pentacles is present, it is likely that love is around the corner and that sparks are already flying. Whether in a relationship or not, connections at this time or strong and there are great opportunities for growth and positive natural change in romance. The Nine of Pentacles is a vibrant card with astounding energy. Now is the time to cultivate relationships of all kinds and bring them to fruition within the direction that you are hoping for. If you find that you are feeling down or left out in love, often all you need to do is to look around. Sometimes when things are dark, it’s easy to focus on the negative and ignore what you already have. Don’t downplay your emotions at this time. Speak up and act out in order to get what you want.

The Nine of Pentacles in Health

The Nine of Pentacles brings good news for health, especially if you have been working on a health concern (like losing weight, controlling blood pressure, etc.) or concerned about a need for healing (such as recovering from surgery or after an injury). The Nine of Pentacles is a strong card for the strength of mind and body and says that now there are energies that are helping you along. The time is right for increased stamina and you may want to use this to your advantage. Continue working on your positive efforts and you will see rewards!

The Nine of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

The man on the Nine of Pentacles card is tending his garden and noticing what is growing forth from whence he planted. There are pleasant feelings surrounding the card denoted by the yellow background and the thriving plant before him. Like the man on the card, this is a good time for you regarding both career and money. With money specifically, the card often accompanies a windfall of sorts, again from an investment, or simply finding money that you had forgotten that you had. It’s not money from nowhere and is usually associated with your earning of the funds in some way. Now would be a good time to go through your portfolio… or even your couch cushions… to find unexpected strains of income. Concerning work, the Nine of Pentacles tells you that you are doing a number of things right. First, you seem to have been working hard in your job or career and when this card is present it is likely that someone with power or status has taken notice of your efforts. It is a reminder card that you are on the right track for job development. Continue moving forward and that attention will be considered in some way that rewards you.

The Nine Of Pentacles in the Reversed Position

Reversed Nine of Pentacles in a reading

When the Nine of Pentacles is revealed in the reversed position the news is not all bad. There is still good news to be had for you… if only you are willing to work for it. Unfortunately, those that don’t heed the warning of the Nine of Pentacles in the reversed position end up missing out on a missed opportunity in their life that they will likely kick themselves about later. Typically when the card comes up it is telling you that there are chances that you are missing by not being active enough or initiating the proper channels to get what you want. For example, in love… if you are looking for love then you are either looking in the wrong place or not taking a direct enough action to catch the eye of someone special. In work, there is likely to be an opportunity for advancement but you need to shine! Be mindful of chances around you right now and fight the urge to be lazy right now. Your window of opportunity won’t be there forever!

The Seven Of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Wands is depicted by a young man who appears to be standing on a precipice fighting for his land.

There are six enemies attacking below. If you have received this card in your reading, this symbolizes success against opposition and a certain victory through courage. Right now you are gifted with added perspective that your opposition does not have. You can see farther and wider so you can prepare for a potential attack if need be. This is an excellent card to see you through challenges so that you can come out the winner.

The important thing to do now is to make your point of view, or position clear and then stand by what you feel is the most important right now and do not compromise or try to settle for less. You are under a certain amount of pressure, but you have more flexibility than those that are putting that pressure on you, in this you have the upper hand. In time you will be able to understand the situation more clearly because the Seven of Wands is a card of inner strength and force of will. You are capable of pushing through any adversity.

One of the aspects of receiving this card is the notion that at this time you will need assistance from others. One of the great things about not living alone on an island is that we are able to bounce thoughts and ideas off of one another to better our life experiences. To learn, to grow, to be strong; to find what makes us happy and what does not and to learn to cast away more of what does not. With the assistance of others you will meet the obstacles that you are running into head on and push past them. You must not try to fight this alone, even though you are capable. There is something you need to learn from asking for help right now. You are a natural born leader in this instance, however, so others will look to you for instruction. In this they will help you and you will help them.

As it stands, because of your intense bravery and willingness to fight for what you believe in, you are already enlightened enough to understand that the environment and everything in it is all a part of one life spirit. This means that your ‘enemies’ so to speak, have as much of a relationship with you as your brothers and sisters. Together we are operating in the same sphere at the same time in order to progress at our varying levels. Understanding this concept will bring you more strength. Meditate on this.

Your belief systems may be put to the test now, because you have something to lose, but continue to have confidence in yourself and in those that you trust and you will have success in your endeavors. By confronting this challenge head on, you will be correcting any flaws that might exist in your beliefs to become more ironclad. The Seven of Wands is the almighty defender, ready to fight regardless of odds. This is what you are experiencing in your life. These are the odds that you must match. You can only fight for what you fiercely believe in. Consider who you feel you are fighting against at this point in time, are you treating yourself with trust and honesty? What about others? Do you trust others to be strong enough to help you? Examine these questions and see where that puts you in your current circumstance.

The Seven of Wands in Love

The Seven of Wands shows up in a reading to help you through some painstaking struggles that you are having to experience at this point in time. Basically, this man is fighting for survival, to protect himself and to protect the ones that he loves. And he does that at all costs. This is the same for you and your love life. Now you are fighting to save something that you believe in. If you are in a relationship, this shows a potential for a struggle to keep the authenticity and morale of the relationship which can at times be exhausting and challenging. This is a good time to ask for help in the form of relationship/marriage counseling. See if there is anything that you can do to help make the relationship work. The work itself is what the Seven of Wands is here to help you with.

If you are single, then take into consideration what about your personal life you are treating as a struggle. Why is it hard for you to meet people? What blocks are you experiencing? Who is metaphorically, or literally, stopping you? You must remove these road blocks with the help of your friends in order to move forward in love.

The Seven of Wands in Health

When the Seven of Wands appears in relation to your health, it is of key importance that you slow down. Right now you have a large amount of mental struggles that are causing you pain. You are thinking too much and that is making it hard for you to accomplish what you need. Your body may suffer from physical aches and pains due to the fact that you are holding on so tightly to the frustrations of your experience. You must let this go so that you can find healing.

The Seven of Wands in Work and Wealth

The Seven of Wands in Work and Wealth speaks strongly to a new wave of competition in your business and trade life. These are challenges that you can definitely meet, but you want to make sure that you ally your forces with someone who understands where you are coming from. For example, if you have an idea about how to create a business, you will want to get a lawyer friend involved to make sure that you do everything right. The more friends like this that you have helping you, the better.

The Seven Of Wands As Feelings

This card in love readings as feelings means that they are unwilling to give up freedoms and begin a relationship. This card can indicate giving up their ground and moving towards being emotionally defensive and focusing on their mind. The person is determined in the choice that they have made and nothing will change their mind. For feelings, this can indicate they are in a corner and they cannot get out of it. The more they push the person the more they will back off and might end up falling off a cliff and never to be seen again.

The Seven Of Wands in the Reversed Position

Because of the fact that you are a natural-born leader and the Seven of Wands is encouraging that side of you to thrive, there are going to be points when others are intimidated by your leadership skills and will desire to challenge or fight with you. You will have to put up with some jealousy which will be inconvenient for you. But again the importance here is to tap into your intuition to make the right decisions on how to handle these situations while still keeping your character intact.
