From the Anna K. Tarot, the Nine of Pentacles; from the Meditation Cards, Money Mind:
Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.
—John Wooden
The Nine of Pentacles is a time of contentment, the fruit of hard work and discipline. Instead of just making a living, we find time for enjoyment. Anna suggests that this wealth is inner as well; we realize just what a fulfilling life looks and feels like (and often, that has nothing to do with money). Money Mind shows up as a reminder that financial situations can easily change, like everything else. Do we become paranoid and begin to see every interaction as win/lose? Or do we draw on our inner resources that we developed from creating what we have? As Nelson Mandela put it, "I never lose. I either win or learn."
