Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Nine of Pentacles 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 Astraea’s 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 Pentacles 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.

Reversed Cards: I have often read that when the Three of Swords shows up in reverse, the time for healing is now upon you. Once we turn the heart upside down, the swords can slip out and leave the wounds ready to be tended to and repaired. This reading fits perfectly with the idea of the Three of Swords in the protection aspect, for it is best to prepare for healing sooner rather than later. Continued grief, pain, and agony will only weaken you in body, mind, and soul. This does not mean that your strength will be restored right away. In all honesty, you have a long way to go on your healing path. Repairing the heart chakra is one of the hardest journeys we can take as emotional beings, but starting now, it will protect you and not leave you open to more pain.

Complete Book of Tarot: even after a book goes to press, an author never feels that his work is quite complete. There are always lingering doubts. Did I say enough about topic X? Was topic Y explained clearly? Will readers get confused by how I explained such and such? Should topic Z have been omitted and perhaps something else been discussed in its place? And so on. In this final chapter, I would like to outline what I hoped to accomplish in this text and conclude with a brief reflection on the psychological value of reading the tarot.

Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, this card represents anguish of mind. Sometimes you feel so bad that you’d like to run off to a sheltered refuge and cloister yourself like a monk or a nun. Worrisome thoughts may be keeping you up at night or having a negative effect on your health. Perhaps you have felt the sting of harsh words from a loved one (warlike Mars in mental Gemini), or you fear an impending split or separation in a relationship. Whatever is troubling you, just remember that matters look bleaker in anticipation and in the darkness of night than when they actually manifest in tangible reality. According to author Amber Jayanti, this card reflects ‘how painful it can be to let go of what you want and accept what is.’ 42
