Upright Meaning:

If you pull the Nine of Pentacles upright in a love reading, things are good for you! If you’re single, love probably hasn’t been a focus, which has allowed you to put together a nice career. And if you’re single and interested in dating, now is a good time to start dating because your career is in a really stable place right now. You have money saved and you’re making money still, so if you want to cool off of work and focus on your personal life, now is the time.

If you have a partner, you each have been able to focus on monetary and professional gains both with your careers and your side hustles. You give each other space and manage to excel at business without compromising your affection for each other. And if you’re partnered up, you’re both financially stable and independent. Combined, you’re even more wealthy. You both work hard and you both deserve these rewards. It’s a really good place to be and you earned it.


Reversed Meaning:

If you pull the Nine of Pentacles reversed in a love reading and you’re single, this Tarot card could be an indication that you’re looking for a partner for the wrong reasons. Most likely, you’re trying to find someone to support you, making you search out a partner for their money, not their heart. If that’s the case, the Nine of Pentacles is calling you out.

And if you’re in a relationship and you pull the Nine of Pentacles reversed, the Tarot cards are also calling you out for that reason. That’s right, you’re in your current relationship because of your partner’s financial status. Is that the right reason? I’m all about doing what works for you, but not if you’re harming others or being harmed. My best advice is to be honest with yourself and your partner, whatever your motivations are.

Another interpretation of the Nine of Pentacles reversed in a love reading is that you and your partner are not stable financially. Again, this is entirely the fault of both of you. You haven’t made wise investments and you haven’t planned adequately for the future. Stop spending and start saving. Make a better budget and stick to it.
