General description
In the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, Pamela Coleman Smith depicts the Nine of Pentacles as a woman with a bird upon her wrist, standing amidst a great abundance of grapevines in the garden of a manorial house. It is a wide domain, suggesting plenty in all things. Possibly it is her own possession and testifies to material well-being.
Divinatory meaning
This card has a very positive in its meaning and effect. There may be some conceit and self-satisfaction, but not without goodness of heart. The person indicated by this card must be a good sportsman and honest above all. The force in it does not tolerate contradiction nor delay, does not reason, but acts at once.
If reversed, the card can mean: Roguery, deception, a project that has been voided. Vain hopes.
