"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 Libra in Love and Relationships
The Harmonizer
Pentacles are the earth suit, so the Nine of Pentacles sits in Capricorn. Capricorn squares Libra, so the card asks for the move Libra 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 relationships through a Libra lens, the Nine of Pentacles says that you feel like your person is a mirror you keep checking to make sure you are still acceptable, a scale where you measure whether you are giving exactly as much as you receive, and something that requires constant small negotiations to keep level. This has either made you a devoted partner who forgets to ask for what they need, or made you someone who can love very deeply precisely because you stopped waiting for permission to have preferences. The thing you're not saying out loud is the thing that matters most. The Libra blind spot in it is being the one who breaks the tie, names the problem, or asks for something first.
In practice that can look like the practical conversation. Whatever form it takes, it is close to done and mostly solitary.
