The Tarot Pips (numbered cards) show the action that is going on in our lives on a daily basis. Where the Major Arcana is of the Spiritual realm, the Minor Arcana are of the Physical realm. Each pip carries two types of energy – the energy of their number, and the energy of their suit.

Esoterically, the number nine is associated change, growth, humanitarian thought, and completion.

The number nine is connected with the Hermit, the Moon and the nine’s in each of the suits. The Hermit is associated with introspection and self-examination. The Moon is associated with emotions, intuition, creativity and psychic ability.

The Nine of Wands carries the quality of change, growth, humanitarian thought, and completion moving into the realm of passion and creativity. Perseverance and courage are keywords for this number.

The Nine of Cups carries the quality of change, growth, humanitarian thought, and completion moving into the realm of emotions. The energy here is one of contentment, emotional security, and satisfaction. This is a card of wishes coming true!

The Nine of Swords carries the quality of change, growth, humanitarian thought, and completion moving into the mental realm. The energy here is of worry and anxiety, of being overwhelmed by thoughts.

The Nine of Pentacles carries the quality of change, growth, humanitarian thought, and completion moving into the material/physical world. Here we see success brought about through discipline, accomplishments recognized and things brought to fruition. Time for the Seeker to enjoy home and family, and treat themselves well.

In a reading, the nine’s indicate that the Seeker has to focus and put in the work, but that the end of the cycle is near, and they will achieve what they set out to do. There is more than one level of achievement here, as the nine’s also speak of spirituality.
