The Nine of Disks
The Lord of Gain is one of the cards which
usually receives a hearty welcome when it
comes up in a reading. At the mundane
level it indicates the financial rewards
which come from working diligently and
dedicatedly on an important project, so it
will often mark a stage of completion. In
the workplace it will show that hard work
is rewarded both by appreciation and an
increase of salary. Sometimes it can
indicate promotion (though rarely a total
change of workplace) earned as a result of
loyalty and attention to detail.
As you'll remember, Disks not only deal
with our financial area, but also with
day-to-day security in the family
environment. So sometimes the Lord of Gain
can come up to indicate consolidation and
achievement at home. Perhaps an emotional
conflict has finally been resolved, or a
long-standing problem finally dealt with.
At the spiritual level, this card talks a
lot about the principle that what we give
to life is what we get back. And here we
have confirmation that we have lived as
much as we are able in the moment,
appreciating the things that come our way,
and celebrating the bounty we have. As a
result, more abundance flows in.
The card rarely indicates windfalls, or
unexpected sources of income. Here we have
worked hard to create something rewarding,
and the Lord of Gain indicates the results
of our efforts.
Working with the Nine of Disks
That
phrase 'what goes around comes around' is
very relevant to this card. The Lord of
Gain is a card that indicates that we have
set in motion some plan or project, and we
are now reaching a point of completion
with it.
So on the day ruled by the 9 of Disks, we
need to be open to opportunities which
allow us to conclude work that has been
outstanding; remain alert to new chances
opening up before us; and ready to seize
the moment when it appears.
This card accords with the ancient wisdom
that we give what we get in life - so this
is also a day to look for opportunities to
offer our help and resources with no
immediate expectation of return.
Take up chances to serve - whether in a
mundane fashion, or to a higher source, in
the sure knowledge that the things you
give with love are the ones which build a
bright new world.
It is the help we give to others with a
happy heart, the sympathy we offer without
judgement, the gentleness with which we
treat ourselves and others that will
change things.
When we do this, we set in motion a stream
of positive, caring energy, which will
travel around the world and return to us -
vastly changed, and yet almost the same.
What we gave to somebody else with no
thought of reward or gain, is what we
truly gain when it comes our way again.
Affirmation: I open myself to life's
bounty with gratitude
