The Nine of Pentacles card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck

Pentacles

Nine of Pentacles

self-sufficiency · earned comfort · enjoying it

Upright

A walled garden, a falcon, and nobody else in the frame. The Nine is independence you built yourself and the pleasure of standing about in it — a card for enjoying what you have rather than immediately leveraging it into the next thing.

Reversed

Reversed, comfort has become isolation, or a lifestyle is being maintained at a cost you'd rather not discuss.

If this is your card this month

What have you built that you never stop to enjoy?

A card is a prompt rather than a forecast. It doesn't know what will happen, and the useful part is what you do with the question it hands you. We make that case at more length in not a prediction, a mirror.

Where this card came from

If Nine of Pentacles arrived on a postcard, it was drawn for you for that full moon, and the reflection on the back was written from what it means. And if it didn't, well — that's the other thing we do here: a card and a reflection in your mailbox every full moon.
