Card 72 • pentacles

Nine of Pentacles

Brief Description

This card speaks to the cycles of death and rebirth in life, suggesting that we may experience multiple forms of endings or losses. However, these metaphorical deaths are not permanent - they serve as transformative experiences that allow us to rediscover life's beauty and sweetness. The image of a sad grave without flowers represents barrenness and loss, while the promise of smelling roses again symbolizes renewal and the return of joy.

The Sadness of Loss

A grave is sad without flowers.

Multiple Deaths and Renewal

But we can die several deaths only to feel the fragrance of roses again.

Visual Description

A solitary woman sits on a stone bench in a misted, leafless grove. She wears a black corset and a golden silk skirt edged with black lace, one foot bare, the other in a delicate shoe. A black crow perches beside her and she holds a single dark rose that drips a tiny red bead of liquid. Fallen roses and petals litter the ground at her feet and a carved number 9 is visible on the base of the bench. Above the scene is a small pentacle symbol set into the frame.
