The Nine of Pentacles as How Someone Sees You: Independent and Doing Well

Written by Chaya the Medium.

The Nine of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see the woman in the vineyard. Here is what the picture includes, upright and reversed.

If you want the short answer, the Nine of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see you as independent: self-sufficient, successful, at ease, complete without them. It is an admiring picture. It can make people hesitate, because it looks as though you need nothing.

This is you in the vineyard with the falcon on your glove. They see the life you built. They wonder if there is a place in it.

The Nine of Pentacles upright as how someone sees you

Tina Gong's the Nine of Pentacles guide at Labyrinthos associates the upright card with independence, luxury, self-sufficiency and fruits of labour. When the card lands in a position that asks how someone sees you, I read those meanings as the image the person holds of you, which is not the same as who you are and not the same as what they feel. the Nine of Pentacles as feelings covers what they feel; the Nine of Pentacles as intentions covers what they plan. This page covers the picture. The general card meanings at Biddy Tarot are a useful second reference.

Upright, I read the Nine of Pentacles as a person who sees you as accomplished and content, someone to admire and perhaps to be careful around.

What I would not read into it is that they feel welcome. Independence can look like a closed gate.

What the card does not tell you

The card does not confirm whether they think you want company. No card lets a reader see inside another person's head. What a card can do is describe the kind of image that fits the person's behaviour toward you, and give you something to check against how they actually treat you.

The Nine of Pentacles reversed as how someone sees you

Reversed, the Nine of Pentacles as how someone sees you means they see the independence as a wall, or the polish as surface.

In your own question, ask whether you have told this person you want them, not just enjoy them. A reversed card here is a prompt to notice whether the picture the person holds has gone sour or gone wrong, not a verdict on you.

The Nine of Pentacles as how an ex sees you

Asked how an ex sees you, the Nine of Pentacles suggests they see you as doing fine without them. My guide to asking a psychic whether an ex will come back explains what a reading can and cannot say about that question.

The Nine of Pentacles as how a new person sees you

For someone new, this card means they are impressed and unsure you need anyone. Say plainly that you would like them there.

How to check the picture against reality

Look at whether the person waits to be invited. That waiting is the picture.

What to record before drawing again

Keep three short notes: the question you asked, what the person admires, and whether you have invited them in.

For comparison, the Queen of Pentacles as how someone sees you and the World as how someone sees you describe different pictures. The the Nine of Pentacles card meaning page covers the card in full, and the Nine of Pentacles as a yes or no and the Nine of Pentacles as timing cover the other questions people most often ask of it. For a personal interpretation, my guide to a love psychic reading online explains how I work, and the three-card tarot listing and customer reviews are worth reading before deciding whether to order.
