Got the Nine of Pentacles reversed as an end-of-day card. There was an excellent video on YouTube about resiliency in all aspects of life that I had put off watching until today. (I knew it would be too much for me having no job, nor savings & social support.) It got me pondering on the meaning of resiliency and I listed some action steps.
I’ve often looked at Nine of Pentacles as a
representation of smug independence. Now I can see more depth and nuance to
this card. The self-efficacy and self-sufficiency can result from nurturing the
things that we need (and that CAN include other people). She reached this almost
indifferent, secure stature because she was willing to work on what was not
resilient in her life. And turning all the right pentacles in their proper
places, she knows she can easily bounce back from adversity.
What do you get from this card?
