9♦ - Nine of Diamonds
the card of self-sacrifice
The Nines of Diamonds have come into our world to complete a major stage in the development of their soul and personality. This means that they must generously share their wealth with others and be willing to "let go" of things and people when the time comes. If they do not adhere to these rules, their lives are full of disappointments and sorrows. But if the Nine of Diamonds is generous and not attached to material values and human relationships, it achieves true happiness. It has the opportunity to directly experience the elevated state of consciousness associated with full participation in the universal life of the Universe.
Despite periodic losses, Diamond Nines can achieve significant success in business, especially if it is related to trade or some creative projects. If the Nine of Diamonds has come to believe in a particular idea, it becomes an excellent propagandist. It is endowed with the gift of eloquence and persuasion. Many Diamond Nines become professional advisors; others are known as extremely wise counselors among family and friends. If the Nine of Diamonds adheres to the higher values in its life, it can accumulate great wealth. But disrespect for the higher law (which consists in the fact that we must give something in order to receive in return) always leads it to misfortunes and troubles. The Diamond Nine must be especially careful behind the wheel and in any risky situations. It quite often loses its head and gets into accidents.
Diamond Nines are extremely intelligent, and they are often attracted to professions that require the application of intellectual abilities. Many of them become thriving lawyers. They succeed in any field of activity involving communication, thanks to the powerful King of Clubs as their Mars Card. This same Club King brings them exceptional luck in legal proceedings. In addition, the Nine of Diamonds is gifted with talents in the field of trade and advertising. Trade can bring it more income than any other card in the deck, although, as a rule, the Diamond Nine still prefers a more intellectual career.
One of the tasks of the Nine of Diamonds is to develop and use its charm and skills in its work. Many of its representatives are destined to make a great contribution to the history of humanity. They often lead other people on the path to the highest form of knowledge.
The Nines of Diamonds love to communicate and prefer witty and resourceful partners. Most Diamond Nines are destined to have at least one difficult marriage in their life, dictated by karma. Usually they have a great responsibility associated with the family, spouse or children. Their marriage is usually karmatically predetermined and does not fall apart for a very long time. Diamond Nines take a very traditional approach to marriage. They are generous, and it is usually easy to deal with them.
Many Diamond Nines view marriage as "work" associated with serious responsibility. Often they work all their lives for the benefit of the family.
Diamond Nine women are often attracted to Club men, who can become good husbands or business partners for them. Diamond Nine men are loved by Spade women, while Diamond women find relationships with them too complex. Diamond Nine women get along well with men of their own suit. Diamond Nine men should beware of Club women, except for the Club Page (a Club Page woman can become an excellent wife for them). Diamond Nines of both sexes should also be cautious in their dealings with the Diamond Queen - their first Karmic Card: with people born under the influence of the Diamond Queen, they may be bound by unusually harsh karmic debts.
Many Diamond Nines feel that financial matters are a real curse for them. When they lend money to someone, the debt does not return to them. When they enter into a financial cooperation agreement with someone, the partners mysteriously disappear at a crucial moment, taking the lion's share of the profits; or the business does not work out at all and the Diamond Nines simply lose their investments. Losses due to theft and other criminal acts, whose victims the Diamond Nines become quite often, are not excluded. In addition, they never win at gambling and lotteries. They always have to give away their money free of charge, while others profit at their expense. People born under the influence of the Nine of Diamonds face such troubles much more often than average, and as a result, they may decide that they are under some kind of curse. They begin to feel that fate has played a cruel trick on them.
But all this is just a manifestation of the energy of the number nine in the realm of finances and material values. The meaning of these failures is that the Nine of Diamonds has come into our world burdened with many beliefs, ideas, concepts, needs and personal attachments related to the material sphere. It needs to get rid of all this. The Diamond suit symbolizes what we value in our lives, our priorities. The Nine of Diamonds is obliged to make a serious revision of its value system during its lifetime. It is helped in this by the tangible losses associated with certain things or people.
The Nine of Diamonds must realize how the laws of the Universe are manifested in its destiny. If it reflects seriously on the events of its life, it will understand that each loss opened new doors for it and helped it come into contact with cosmic energies. It will understand the beauty of being freed from unnecessary attachments and the beauty of the new life that opens up before it with each step towards freedom. It will begin to feel the needs of other people as its own. As a result, the Nine of Diamonds will achieve true happiness by developing a more universal approach to life. This universal worldview is the ultimate goal of the development of the Nine of Diamonds.
