No astrology symbols in this card (or the deck), but as another take on the RWS 9, I like the energy of sheer joy in partaking:

 

Tarot of the Holy Spectrum

 

From Crowley:

 

Quote

...it does not worry its head about whether anything is won when all is won. This card is ruled by Venus. It purrs with satisfaction at having harvested what it sowed; it rubs its hands and sits at ease... there is no reaction against satisfaction as there is in the other three suits. One becomes more and more stolid, and feels that "everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds".

Adding some cards on the desk. (Top row is RWS inspired, and then the Thoth and GD decks, etc.)

 

 

Because of Virgo being the Hermit, I think of reflecting on what we do have in our lives. Or even just the chance to be alive. Like in Joe vs the Volcano, when Tom Hanks is alone in the middle of the ocean. He doesn't know if he'll make it; it's not looking good, but suddenly there's awe and gratitude.

I was visiting friends and family for a few days. At one place, there was a huge garden: flowers blooming, plants bearing fruit and vegetables. It was so lovely to walk around, picking delicious apples from the ground or raspberries straight from the bush.

The garden is tended by an elderly couple (well, mostly by her), and there's already a discrepancy between the amount of work the garden requires and their physical ability to keep up with it. In the 9 of Pentacles, we see not only the looming seasonal decline in nature's abundance but also the decline of our own physical strength and independence. That's why we are—ideally—connected, supported, and involved within a larger unit, as we see in the 10 of Pentacles.

Plus a gorgeous photo that would be at home in a cookbook.
