In a Reading

All of the fruits of our labor are realized. We find ourselves leaving a completed material stage and entering a new one, the arrival of a child, a new job. The Nine of Pentacles could also manifest detachment from material life, leaving everything behind to build a new life. Bankruptcy, Inheritance, winning a game of chance, we are heading for new construction.

The darker side of this Arcanum may refer to an eviction or being forced to move, getting fired from a job, or a problem with an inheritance.
