Where is it that we wish the effort of yesterday’s Eight of Pentacles to lead? Here in the Nine of Pentacles it is almost as if we are being called upon to visualize our ideal future state. The falcon is hooded, and its wealthy owner is secluded in a garden, which suggests that the focus is not on immediate targets but either on enjoying what one already has, or of visualizing what it is that one wishes to have or be. The Nine of Pentacles, or the Lord of Material Gain, is ruled by Venus in Virgo, which some find odd as Venus is not well placed in busy Virgo. However, Ellen Goldberg is prescient on this point (as on many others) when she says,
esoterically, Venus in Virgo is the goddess providing for all of her children because Venus is love and Virgo is the harvest.
