If you are asking for career advice, and you draw the Nine of Pentacles reversed, it suggests that you’ve achieved a lot, yet it feels like there’s something still missing. You’ve tried so hard to search for it but to no avail. You’re a highly independent person and, unconsciously, you’re afraid of losing that independence so you may be unintentionally pushing valuable people away. Your career could take some damage if you keep this up. 

If you are asking for financial advice, the Nine of Pentacles reversed means you’re very materially wealthy. There’s nothing you don’t have. You’re also the type to immediately spend on something that they want, and this could be something that can drain your funds, especially since your career is suffering a little bit right now. Be a little more careful with what you spend on and don’t make any hasty decisions.

For those starting a new job, the Nine of Pentacles reversed means that you know something is missing from your career. This new job may be the answer to that, but it can also not be the answer.

You’re capable of many great things once you overcome those fears.

For those wondering about their current job, the Nine of Pentacles reversed means that while everything seems perfectly fine from the outside, on the inside, you feel pretty miserable. You’re insecure and scared about what’s going to come next as you’ve developed this sort of codependency with your job. Remember that your life doesn’t have to revolve around your job and that you should take time for yourself to help you find the thing you feel that’s missing — your job won’t be able to provide that for you anyway. 

If you are asking about whether or not you should switch industries, the Nine of Pentacles reversed means that this is only something you should do if you aren’t doing it out of fear. You’re searching for whatever’s missing within you, but you need to remember that switching industries won’t magically provide you with that thing. Really take the time to think of your decision and decide on what you want to do based on the reason behind it. 

For those interested in starting a business, the Nine of Pentacles reversed means you feel like this will fill the void in your life.

Focus on yourself a bit first before attempting something to start a business.
