9 of Pentacles Tarot Card: “I made it on my own”
The 9 of Pentacles piece of you appreciates the work you have done to achieve your own goals. There is satisfaction in being able to say, “I made it on my own.” To make it on your own means to have the inspiration, the vision, and the drive to achieve your goals. Once you have the inspiration, hold onto it. Examine it. Work with it. Shape it into a series of doable actions, make necessary adaptions as you go, and make it happen without giving up.
Do that, and the day will come where you can take a look at the results and be proud of what you accomplished. On top of that, you will enjoy the benefits of your work. What you earned from it, you earned yourself, so appreciate it that much more. Nobody gave it to you. Nothing you earned is a handout. What you have, you have by your own hand. This is the 9 of Pentacles within you, and it is there to congratulate you. — Jim Larsen
