Card Description

A young woman with her horse strolls through a magnificent vineyard, surrounded by wealth and beauty. The Nine of Pentacles signifies retirement from active work.

Time for Reward

Your work is done, and now is the time to revel in the fruits of success. The horse shown symbolizes past battles that have already passed away. You have left a good legacy, and nothing threatens it. Enjoy without guilt—you have earned it.

Self-Reflection and Contentment

This Arcana also reduces self-destruction: focus on finding happiness in what you already have. Sometimes you need to concentrate to understand exactly what you have achieved and where you are moving forward.

Reversed Meaning

It is not yet time to count on success. This is an illusion, and it is too early to rest on your laurels. Stopping work may cause everything you have already done to collapse. Don't give up, take a break to recharge.
