Nine of Pentacles
The Nine of Coins represents wealth, not just in material terms but also in knowledge, comfort, happiness, community, creativity, and personal fulfillment. It depicts the peace of mind that comes from physical abundance and self-sufficiency. The card emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and enjoying the fruits of one's labor and encourages taking time to rest and appreciate success.
Keywords
Wealth and Inequality
The Nine of Coins is a card of wealth—a concept fraught and complicated by historical and cultural inequality and violence. In Western society, there is a plague of injustice when it comes to how wealth is distributed and who holds a disproportionate amount of it. In my Coins, I wanted to show that wealth is not represented only by our material riches—it can be measured in knowledge, comfort, happiness, community, creativity, and in personal fulfillment (whatever that looks like to you).
Physical Abundance
However, the Nine card in particular shows us the comfort granted by physical abundance. Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure as hell can buy peace of mind, which contributes to a person’s overall quality of life. And it is quality of life that this card of luxury, hard work, and self-sufficiency paying off focuses on. The Eight of Coins marked the progress of furrowing and seeding the field; in the Nine, the garden flowers and bears fruit.
Acknowledging Success
It can be too easy to overlook the bounty of our success, to speed on to the next endeavor in the constant hustle of life under capitalism without taking the time to fully appreciate and enjoy what we have achieved. The Nine of Coins encourages us to slow down, to let ourselves rest, to enjoy the ripe fruits of our endeavors. We worked too hard for it to not indulge. This is a card of self-sufficiency, because independence is its own kind of wealth. It is the card of treating yourself.
