Nine of Pentacles
Upright
Abundance, luxury, self-sufficiency, financial independence
The Nine of Pentacles card tells you have struggled to produce wealth in your life and now you can ultimately experience the outcomes. Thanks to your works and discipline, you achieved victory and a solid ground for your material wealth which you deserve. It is time to relax and appreciate the richness.
When the Nine of Pentacles shows up in a reading, do not be frightened to celebrate, particularly as a gift for all of your tough work. You have already accomplished so much work, and this is your chance to strengthen yourself for the final stage and recognize your successes.
The Nine of Pentacles card also talks about independence. The woman in this card inspires you to do the similar – to create wealth and freedom and you can take care of yourself. Spend carefully and don’t depend on other people.
While the suit of Pentacles typically concentrates on physical richness, this card also implies that you are in balance with the atmosphere around you. You enjoy the beauty of nature, and you can explore its power to bring enjoyment to you.
Reversed
Self-worth, over-investment in work, hustling
The reversed Nine of Pentacles card reminds you that right now you need to appreciate yourself. When you notice this card, take the chance to think about your own insight of self-respect.
You may inquire if your abilities are relevant if you can require higher rates or request for a salary increase. Understand that you rate to be rich in all aspects of the term.
Furthermore, you may concentrate on developing your confidence. Spend for yourself and improve your self-love.
In some cases, the reversed Nine of Pentacles can show up when you are working too hard and deceiving yourself that you have no time to experience the results of your work.
On the other hand, the reversed Nine of Pentacles implies, if some of your special interests block you out of your life priorities, you should consider clearing some of your requirements for it. You may believe you need the greatest of everything but, actually, all you lack is your family, friends and important people around you.
The Tower
Upright
Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening
When the Tower card is shown in a Tarot reading, something unexpected will happen – massive transformation, outbreak, destruction or chaos. It may be a divorce, financial bankruptcy, health problems, job failure or any event that shakes you to your core, affecting you in deep levels. Change is hereabouts to shred everything up, create chaos (but you should remember that it’s for your Highest Good).
Just when you’re safe in your comfort zone, a Tower moment strikes and throws you out of the loop. A sudden lightning bolt of insight cuts through the illusions you have been telling yourself, and now the truth comes to the surface. Your world may come tumbling down before you, in ways you could never have dreamed as you realize that you have been developing your life on weak foundations – false theories, mistruths, illusions, obvious lies, and so on. You are now questioning what is real and what you can rely upon and what you cannot believe. This can be very complicated because your core belief systems are tested. But, you will understand that your fundamental assumptions were built on a piece of false knowledge, and your new belief systems are more close to reality.
The best approach is to allow this destruction to happen so you can re-build. And with the Tower, you have no option but to surrender to the chaos, no matter how painful. This destruction will enable new growth to start.
After a Tower moment, you will be stronger and wiser. This moment is important for your spiritual maturity, even if you feel pain and stress during it.
Also, the Tower doesn’t always need to be a painful experience. If you are aware and in tune with your intuition, then this Tarot card can symbolize spiritual rebirth. You may be able to see the cracks appearing and take action before the whole comes falling down. You may create a huge alteration before you attain a position where transformation is your only choice.
Reversed
Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster
The Reversed Tower hints that you are undergoing a meaningful personal conversion. This differs from the upright Tower where the change is because of external factors and may even seem forced upon you. Instead, with the reversed Tower card, you are urging the change and questioning your underlying belief system. Or, in more dramatic states, you may go through an existential crisis where you severely question your life’s goal. While this can be an unsettling experience, trust in the process and know it is for the most beneficial. You are creating transformation so you can step into a developed version of yourself.
Sometimes, the reversed Tower can be a warning that you are holding change and denying the inevitable destruction. However, you need to go through this hard time to learn a worthy lesson. And know that if you continue to hold this transformation, it will only push its way into your life more strongly.
Finally, the reversal of the Tower can decrease the influence of the transformation about to happen in your life.
Eight of Pentacles
Upright
Apprenticeship, repetitive tasks, mastery, skill development
The Eight of Pentacles is a card of ability and mastery. When this card appears in a Tarot reading, you are working vigorously to develop your abilities and become a leader at what you do. You may have recently replaced your work, study or economic conditions, and now you are utilizing your pure energy and strength to master the new profession that you are studying. You are busy and you are connecting yourself completely to whatever is at the core of your attention.
The Eight of Pentacles may symbolize additional training in order to sharpen your skills. You know that it will demand a lot of focus and commitment to your education, but you are ready to work hard. You are prepared for the route towards becoming a leader in your preferred field.
Furthermore, the Eight of Pentacles implies you are working away at the more precise aspects of your life, attempting to continuously develop your position. You may be troubled with your current situation, and you know you need to make some significant modifications in your life to improve your overall comfort. This card is a good sign that you are started to make those adjustments. Overall, this is a very accomplishing and principled energy that is already in your life.
The Eight of Pentacles is a message to continue doing what you are doing as it will ultimately guide to prosperity. It may not be as obvious as you wish but results are revealing that you are in the true path.
If you find this card in a reading and are not involved in the active pursuance of your purposes, question what you could create to make your life better.
Reversed
Self-development, perfectionism, misdirected activity
The reversed Eight of Pentacles can show up in a Tarot reading when you are dedicated to personal development. You are very disciplined when it comes to your ideas and actions, and you are committed to becoming the greatest version of yourself. You are willing to do things repeatedly until you see outcomes with your health and overall happiness.
Alternatively, the reversed Eight of Pentacles may symbolize that you are focused on achieving completion, however, it causes damage more than help. You lose perception of the bigger picture because of focusing on small details.
The reversed Eight of Pentacles implies that you are working very laboriously, but you can’t get the result you were longing. You’re seeming frustrated and exhausted by the lack of progress instead. It is time to evaluate whether you are really concentrated on the best things, or if you need to change your focus to bring your actions back in arrangement with your larger purposes.
