The 9♦️ refines desires by resolves differences between desires and values.

The 8♠️ Dreaming Mirror indicates that one needs to change desires (i.e. lesser for a greater and superior for an inferior) through concentration of energy and intention.

The J♠️ Waking Mirror indicates that refinement of values is accomplished by comparing one’s own trial-and-errors with masterful accomplishments.

The 4♣️ Sleeping Mirror indicates that one is learning to
accumulate successful experiences that make it easier to let go of longing or resentment to experience the present moment.

Aries 9♦️ quickly frustrates without ample knowledge and expertise, so one insists on mastery of activities through dedicated study; one’s efforts are rewarded with warm attention from others that recognize one’s refined behavior.
