"Abundance isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
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.
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.
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 Aries in Work and Career
The Initiator
Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Nine of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn squares Aries, so the card asks for the move Aries is least fluent in: change one concrete arrangement this week. The friction is the content, not an obstacle to it. Upright, it is nearly finished, and the last stretch of it is mostly solitary.
When reading about work through an Aries lens, the Nine of Pentacles says that you feel like work is the place you prove you are not wasting time, a problem to solve fast (or escape), and something that only matters if you can see the finish line tomorrow. This has either led to building something from nothing in record time or to leaving behind half-finished things because the sprint ended and the marathon scared you. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. The Aries blind spot in it is the feeling that nothing you do makes any difference, that you are not the center of the story.
In practice that can look like a contract landing. Whatever form it takes, it is close to done and mostly solitary.
