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 Six Of Pentacles Tarot Meaning

Following with the story line of the pentacles you will find that there are ups and downs regarding stability, money, and work.

The Five of Pentacles was a card of destitution and recognizes the need to ask for help in order for one to get back on their feet. The Six of Pentacles is now that realization of charity and good works. It is a representation of either you receiving charity that is much needed to get you to where you need either financially or in regards to a living situation. Base needs are now being met and positive changes are happening.

It can also be a representation that you have learned how to manage your own finances and that you are now competent at meeting your base needs such as food, shelter, and housing and that you are in a position to help or teach others. Depending on where you are in your path – being the helper or the one that needs help – it is important to realize both sides of the charitable coin.

Help to others and receiving help is often part of the human experience. When we have enough we give to those around us and in turn it can be humbling to have to accept help. If you are in a position of needing help be appreciative of the help you receive and remember that you needed to rely on others. Do not take it for granted however and realize that the help offered at this time is a hand up rather than a hand out. Squandering this help will cause you to go back on your path rather than forward. If you happen to be in a position where you can help others, the card can also be a reminder not to overextend your helpfulness. You will be no help to anyone if you continue to offer help and not focus on also taking care of your own needs. Be generous within reason but do not be so generous that you cause yourself a loss.

The Six of Pentacles in Love 

In love the Six of Pentacles can be a generous card showing that there is much to be gained by interacting in a relationship at this time. Sometimes it will come up when there is enough of a foundation to move on to the next step of a relationship but with this it focuses more on monetary or material aspects of the relationship rather than emotional ones. The card will come up usually when relating to growing in areas of housing like moving in together or joining financial resources to make a couple stronger.

When seeking love the Six of Pentacles tells you to be generous with your offerings right now and it is a good time to put yourself out there. Focus on areas of charity or giving in order to meet others that have the same mindset and goals. Likely a relationship can be found in your local soup kitchen or charitable function. Your goal should not be helping in order to find love. Rather focus on giving your time or resources in ways that you can so that you get more involved. Love is a likely side effect but it could also be friendship and other relationships as well.

The Six of Pentacles in Health

The Six of Pentacles is a good card regarding health in that it can indicate improved health overall, but especially a period of illness. If you have been dealing with a nagging illness or pain the Six of Pentacles shows increased circulation and vitality that will cause an upswing of healing regarding wellness on its own. For more serious health issues this is a good time to seek assistance to ensure healing. Options for getting better are available to you if you seek them out.

The Six of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

The Three-Fold Law says that what you put out will come back to you threefold. The Six of Pentacles is much like this law, stating that what you have been putting out to the world is coming back to you. Usually, it’s a good card indicating a windfall of sorts that comes from good works. It can indicate a bonus for work done or a raise even. Don’t think of inheritances, games of chance, or the lottery. No, the Six of Pentacles is in relation to getting what you give. If you have been on a good path in work or finances with your intentions… that is working hard and trying to seek success then you are likely to see the fruition of your efforts and be rewarded handsomely. You may even be coming out of a hard time financially and need a little extra help. In this case, someone around you may give you money because they can see that you are trying but just need a little help.

The Six of Pentacles is an exceptional card regarding work and looking for new opportunities. Whether you are seeking a job due to unemployment or a need for advancement it is an excellent time to spend energy on finding what you need. You will create your own opportunities simply by making your desires known the universe. Of course, you have to act too. You won’t find what you are hoping for if you don’t look. Remember to be reworking your resume with all of your current information and to be sending it out there! Don’t expect new opportunities to fall into your lap, you have to ask for them and do your part to ensure they come to you. The 6 of pentacles can indicate that harmony is soon to be yours, it may imply you are expert at what you do and wish to help or give others something important. Six in tarot represents balance. This card can mean giving money to others through work. There is a lesson imprinted here. Learn to give and receive in a work context. In terms of business, it can indicate success and that you will employ more people. 

Reversed Meaning - Six of Pentacles

Often the spiritual nature of the Six of Pentacles is missed in the upright position because there is a lot of focus on the monetary or material gain being experienced. However in the reversed position, there is a huge emphasis on spirituality or emotional health. In the reversed position the Six of Pentacles calls for a change in your view and often can indicate depression which is worsening or feelings of hopelessness like there is nowhere to turn. Avoid penning up your emotions or basing them on your current lot in life. Now is a time where good works will be rewarded but you have to get off your butt and seek them out. Sitting around and moping about your situation is not going to improve anything. Even if you feel that your situation is the cause of your problems or that everything has gotten so out of control that you are buried beneath your problems, there is hope and help for you. You have to be the one to shake off the dirt, so to speak, and reach out for a helping hand. Help and support is around you but you have to be willing to accept it and avoid being too stubborn to ask for it.
