Nine of Pentacles

    The Nine of Pentacles demonstrates a stage approaching another completion. Among things Tesla said was learn to understand the trees, sixes, and nines. This has the sense that the idea conceived brought down to manifestation.  This is what Pentacles are about anyway. Gain, rewards, sudden gift, accomplishment, love of nature, efforts brought to fruit. Reversed it depicts loss, possibly through lack of diligence.
    In the creation we can see several things. It can be drawn at the top like the other circle. Here it shows us a fourth harmonic. It adds paths for second harmonics. In cymatics, it would make a more complicated wave shape. It could also be drawn on a bottom corner, giving a different path to the fourth harmonic. Both are right. While all of these forms are resonant on various levels, the center flower being complete has higher harmonics than the incomplete ones. The frequency divides as we go to  'lower' harmonics. There is inverse reasoning. The fourth harmonic down means longer wavelength, so lower frequency. Pyramids use this in one of their processes of building energy. Each 'lower' harmonic amounts to a longer wave that both supports and is supported by the 'higher' harmonic. In three dimensions, configured like the Merkaba, every place the next sphere is attached is the same as every other. The Merkaba is symmetrical, so all twelve locations are the same.
    This can read as several types of incomplete balance. There is accomplishment, but a requirement that the effort that got here must continue in order to stay here. There is gain, and satisfaction in it, but a need to continue in the effort. 
    In numbers we have several interesting things growing. In the craft we have things like the rule of three. Simply, whatever you do comes back times three. Less simply it can be 3x3x3. Simple it is that in that multiple, we first see three triads. (9=3+3+3) This gains power later, but here it is a powerful expression. Our linear number line has grown to:1,1,2,3,(4),5,(6),(7),8,(9). Another progression works as 1,3,9. Eventually as we work more patterns there are significant numbers both in patterns that meet, and in diverse places. We are into the third step of yet another progression, 1,7,17. As we see, some things complete, and others continue. All are important in some way.
    There are things better left unsaid. Nine represents a lot of things, for example, on a particular altar there are nine positions, five elements, Maiden, Mother, Crone, and the God. There are other altars, but this one calls for masculine energies as well as feminine. This is a step different from the card that is usually considered feminine. This is about not so much conjuring as encouraging ongoing efforts to bear the expected fruit. This represents the growing phases of the moon, and close to producing results. This is an ongoing manifestation, and being earth, in this realm.
    So how is  this manifested in our day? Are we ready to bear fruit in our life? Is it time for diligence to pay off? Are we in a spot to get lucky? Reversed, Are we needing to improve our score on making the contributing efforts to get the results we want?
    We come here with lessons to learn. Each lesson will be repeated until it is learned, and can be more harsh each time. As we learn, more is both given, and required. With this card we have learned lessons and applied them, and are getting results.
