In the Nine of Wands, the Rider Waite image shows a figure who has faced many struggles and, while he’s still standing strong, the bandage around his head indicates that he has sustained injury along the way. The figure is watchful, wary, anticipating further attacks from any angle.
Nine of Wands
Eight of Wands
The Eight of Wands represents movement and grounding. The Wands depicted on the card are heading to the earth, and the hills and structure in the background of the image emphasize this. The Fire inherent in the suit has found its focus and become directed and the result is cohesion and completion.
Ace of Pentacles
Ace of Pentacles is linked to themes of prosperity and the manifestation of abundance. New opportunities are coming towards you that can lead you to a new phase of success in your life. This is time to recognize your value and how much you have to offer the world. Use your skills to invite more abundance and fulfillment into your life.
The Magician
In this card we see a figure who wields all the suits of the Major Arcana with confidence: in his raised hand he holds a Wand, while on the table (or altar) before him lies a Pentacle, a Cup, and a Sword. They await his will. And herein lies the key to understanding this powerful card: The Magician is intention. He is the focused assertion of the will and the paths that open before us as a result.
Ten of Pentacles
Ten of Pentacles represents a sense of security and a certain standing within your community. This card can also signify prosperity for both yourself and your family. The wealth represented in this card goes beyond material things and indicates a rich connection to family, community, and the legacy that you have fostered.
ten of cups
The joy and optimism inherent in Ten of Cups are clear for all to see: the rainbow, a symbol of hope, contains ten images of the suit arching across the sky. Below, a couple looks up, delighted at the sight, while their children dance beside them: the little ones don’t need to see the rainbow itself to be filled with the simple happiness that life can offer.
