The Rider-Waite-Smith card rarely strays from the mundane divination meaning of any card and the Nine of Pentacles is no exception. Here he depicts the divination meaning of inheritance or material gain. The medieval theme of a Lady of inherited wealth and her falcon, implying royalty. She is out in the lush pentacle blooming landscape symbolize continual growth and success. This continual growth is also symbolized by the roses on her gown. Everything is golden and warm and gain is all around. The female figure, subtly implies that the Goddess Venus is enjoying the fruitfulness of earth.

Selfishness.

The Jungian Tarot- 9 of Pentacles, lacks visual clues to its meaning. The primary meaning is Selfishness. Hence, this is a card representing egocentric control in which one is totally unconcerned about how others feel, and therefore, uses a cautious exercise of personal will for gain. This one's focus is quite basic; everything evolves around what a person wants emotionally and materially. This person may be totally ruthless, taking the attitude that the means, no mater how brutal , is justified by the gain. One may call this an antisocial personality--for whom there is no right or wrong. Here only self-gratification and the flaunting of social regulations and conventions by which others must abide. What ever the case, this person is the center of attention. Also, this card may mean favors and popularity , or it could mean the sowing of a notorious scandal that harvests personal attacks and loss of reputation.

Qabalistically the Thoth 9 of Disks card is Yesod the Ninth Sephira in Assiah and/or the influence of Yesod in the Material World. Yesod, meaning foundation is governed by the Moon. In the material world this influence is very favorable for amassing things, but with Venus in Virgo, there is a lack of overt feelings accompanying this great efficiency.

When the Thoth 9 Disks is thrown during a reading it implies:

• Inheritance and/or material gain, sometimes within 9 weeks or 9 months or the querent is experiencing it now for those time periods.
• A certain amount of Integrity, skill and talent has produced material gain and a sense of accomplishment.
•  Purely material gain, where talent and skill has come together in either a beginning stage of material gain or a good flowing gain  on into wealth.

When the Jungian Tarot-Nine of Pentacles is thrown:

• A person who takes the attitude the end justifies the means. 
• Great pursuit of gain, making everything and everyone secondary in importance. 
• Becoming the center of attention.
• Being granted favors and popularity.

If both cards are ill defined by the surrounding negative cards, it implies:

• A lack of discipline in material matters and the failure that comes with it.
• Avarice.
• Deception.
• Empty plans.
