Nine of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning
What Nine of Pentacles means upright and reversed, with readings for love, money and career.
The picture and its symbols
Nine of Pentacles shows a woman standing at ease in a ripe vineyard with a falcon on her hand. It belongs to the suit of Pentacles, the element of earth (money, work, the body and practical matters), and its rank carries the theme of the brink of fulfillment (Nine). Ease earned by one's own effort. The falcon on her glove is instinct trained, meaning self-discipline: abundance enjoyed by someone who governs herself.
