The 9♥️ is the main card of responsibility and sacrifice. It has a twin, the 7♦️ which is one who longs for satisfaction and gets pleasure in measures. But for each satisfaction, there is a price to be paid in responsibility and sacrifice.

The 9♥️ cultivates emotional maturity as one experiences life changes including loss of pleasures and loss of things one may have enjoyed for many years after first attracting it and working for it diligently. Everything on Earth is impermanent. The 9♥️ learns to be equally happy both with pleasures and also without pleasures.

This date learns many secrets when cooperating to attract desires and then watching desires be traded for other pleasures, discarded when no longer wanted, or destroyed for various reasons. Loss of material or family often builds a feeling of betrayal by the world as though one was intended to suffer. There are secrets and mysteries that are revealed in times of loss which may seem miraculous and which affirm  divinity. Life and its beauty are always unveiling.
