Your Chosen Card – Nine of Patens Upright Salem Deck
When upright, the Nine of Disks depicts the discerning virgin of the sign Virgo, a self-contained maiden modeled after Astraea/Dike, the goddess of purity and justice who held a grain of wheat in her left hand. Under Astraeas rule, the human race enjoyed peace, prosperity, perfect weather, and eternal youth. Unfortunately, the increasing vileness of human behavior caused the discerning goddess to flee to the heavens where she became the constellation Virgo, isolated from the wickedness of humankind. The Nine of Disks is a card of accomplishment, refinement, material fortune, and enjoyment of the fruits of the harvest. It indicates being rewarded for discretion, hard work, meticulous care, and prudent planning.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Nine of Pentacles suggests a situation in which someone acts in bad faith or blocks your progress. As a result of deception or broken promises, a project may fail to materialize or need to be aborted. Perhaps you were counting on someone to keep their word, only to discover that they have left you in the lurch. You may end up feeling isolated or sensing that security has been compromised. Having carefully planned and cultivated your garden, you discover that the time has not yet come to enjoy the harvest.
Reversed Cards: Sometimes all that glitters is not gold. If we look more closely at the Nine of Pentacles through the lens of the mirror, can you see where the glamour ends and where the real picture begins? There is a part of this card that does make you wonder if its all for show. Is this lovely scene of safety and security nothing more than an image for the outside world to see? It is easy to judge a scene like this one and claim that the woman obviously has it all, yet being too quick to judge this snapshot in time may very well be the lesson you need to learn.
