Nine of Pentacles
Karmic Tarot
UPRIGHT: The Nines are the effect of the highest mental order on the four
planes, here in the Suit of Pentacles on the Physical/Material Plane. You will
work hard to satisfy the goals of your mind as it stretches to accommodate the
universal mind. In so doing mind insists that the planes align themselves, first
within themselves and then with each other. There is security of position and the
ability to appreciate the benefits of good health and/or material success. If you so
desire, a life of active leisure is possible, as your personal garden of Eden is all
around you. Physical well-being is protected by the power of your mind, and that
power is available to help others. Physical healing is possible here as an adjunct of
your ability to achieve and maintain order in your Physical Plane. The conventional
avenues of medicine are more common here—doctors, nurses—but nonallopathic,
holistic, and other alternative health care apply as well. There is good integration of your
physical needs with the environment (on all levels: mineral, plant, animal, and other people). There
is great appreciation of nature; your actions can benefit and bring increase in the world system. This
is the princess in her garden and the horticulturist in his. Here is physical evidence of the work of
the intellect in the form of knowledge storage, books, and libraries. INVERTED: Various forms of
improper understanding/use of this level of comfort, such as allowing yourself to become overly
dependent on others, even to the extreme of becoming a “kept person.” There can be improper use
of intelligence and knowledge of nature, leading to a decrease in the world system. Here we find
smug, complacent, lazy behavior.
Nine of Cups
UPRIGHT: Here is the impact of higher mind on the Emotional Plane. With
the resulting increase in emotional and creative awareness there is great comfort
and joy with yourself and life in general. You have good emotional support systems
in place, giving you emotional security and restorative power. Abundance of
energy. Desires are being fulfilled. You are deeply compassionate and creative, as
you are in touch, in tune. An artistic or poetic lifestyle of the highest order.
Interest and work in the arts, theater, music. Sensitivity. Dramatic personality.
You may wear your heart on your sleeve. Benevolent power. Restorative power.
INVERTED: You may be overdoing it emotionally. The emotions may have become
ends in themselves, goaded on by the ego. Everything exaggerated for effect.
Sensitivity to a fault; you feel everything, pain is everywhere. You could be thriving
on the pain itself, rather than recognizing pain as the initial part of the positive lesson to be
learned. A person stuck here may never get beyond the pain—a nasty form of addiction.
Nine of Swords
UPRIGHT: Here the higher mind takes aim at its own plane. Mind is now
keenly aware of self, and of the magnitude of what it has asked to be privy. It has
asked for, and been given access to, a level of knowledge which has a commensurate
level of responsibility that now demands the letter of the law. This is the
Faustian bargain stripped of its melodrama and subterfusion. Quite simply, the
more you know, the more you owe. And paradoxically, the more you know, the
more you know do not know (and that you will never know). The only game over
which mind can exercise free will is in how well it exercises its duties as the
caretaker of what it knows. That is a matter of wisdom the mastery of the management
of knowledge. For knowledge and responsibility are Siamese twins. One
cannot live without the other, for they share one heart. One cannot carry out
responsibility without the knowledge to do so, and one cannot be truly knowledgeable without
responsibility, because responsibility is inherent in every piece of information. Responsibility is
natural, unless it is selectively blotted out by the mind, skillfully separated by the surgical scalpel of
