The Gold Foil Tarot-Nine of Pentacles
The Rider-Waite-Smith/Gold Foil card rarely strays from the mundane divination meaning of any card and the Nine of Pentacles is no exception. Here Waite 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 symbolizing 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.
The Tarot of the Old Path-9 of Pentacles
The Tarot of the Old Path- Nine of Pentacles shows an extravagantly dressed woman holding a pentacle in her lap.
Her head-dress is horned representing the "Old Goddess" of the pagan past. Her ermine trimmed green garment denotes wealth and the ruling element of this card, Earth.
Around her neck is a necklace of eight pentacles.
The primary meaning of this card is the attainment of wealth, bringing luxury, comfort, and material well-being.
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. This is because one is unwinding after significant effort. Therefore, you may just have to force yourself to celebrate.
When the Thoth 9 Disks/Pentacles 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.
- Material gain, where talent and skill have come together in either a beginning stage of material gain or a good flowing gain into wealth.
- Diligence and discipline have gained one a fruitful lifestyle.
If the 9 of Disks or Pentacles, are ill defined by surrounding negative cards, it implies:
- A lack of discipline in material matters and the failure that comes with it.
- Avarice.
- Deception.
- Empty plans.
