Nine of Pentacles tarot card

"Abundance isn't the question. What you do next is."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

A woman, with a bird upon her wrist, stands amidst a great abundance of grapevines in the garden of a manorial house. Pentacles represents wealth and eight represents achievement. Together this card signifies luxury and abundance.

Upright
AbundanceSelf-SufficiencyLuxuryIndependence

A luxurious card-- all about financial independence and pleasure. You've worked hard and are now enjoying the fruits of your labor. Swim in that pool of money a little. Romantically, your options are all good and you should focus on yourself and your own pleasure.

Reversed

Perhaps you are overindulging, eating too many sweets (metaphorically) and getting sick. Remember that buying things doesn't actually solve your problems and focus on being comfortable living within your means.

Nine of Pentacles for Aquarius in Health and Energy

The Visionary

Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Nine of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn sits directly beside Aquarius, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: change one concrete arrangement this week. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Upright, it is nearly finished, and the last stretch of it is mostly solitary.

When reading about health through an Aquarius lens, the Nine of Pentacles says that you feel like your body is a thing that happens to you, a system you monitor from outside (or ignore completely), and something that needs things from you at the worst possible times. This has either taught you hard lessons about what happens when you wait too long, or you are still waiting. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Aquarius blind spot in it is being ordinary, or worse, being needed in a way that pins them down.

In practice that can look like sleep, food, walking. Whatever form it takes, it is close to done and mostly solitary.
