NINE OF PENTACLES DESCRIPTION
Like in The Lovers of the Major Arcana, the two trees in the background of the Nine of Pentacles are the trees of knowledge and life. The castle, a symbol of power and security, stands by the Tree of Life.
The bright yellow sky and ground symbolize intellectual and spiritual understanding: The Nine of Pentacles is a card of wisdom as well as prosperity.
The woman standing in front of the rich grapevines is dressed in yellow (wisdom) and red (love and passion). Her garment is embroidered with flowers in the shape of the astrological symbol for Venus. One hand rests on six pentacles, while the other is gloved, holding a hooded falcon.
Grapes symbolize fertility, beauty, and joy. Like the falcon in the Nine of Pentacles, they suggest that the best is yet to come. Her free hand is resting on the pentacles, but her eyes are on the falcon. It won’t be much longer until he takes flight.
