The Nine of Pentacles

Upright - The enjoyment of hard earned success.  Financial gains made from unexpected sources, such as: monetary gifts, winnings, inheritances and settlements.  Unearned income possibly from a divorce settlement.  Popularity, common sense and order arising out of chaos.

Ill Dignified or Reversed - Affluence obtained via deception.  Theft, swindling and pilfering.  Corruption and success earned from the backs and misfortunes of others.  This card also warns that present calm and stability will not be sustained.
