Nine of Spades

This is the strongest of all the universal cards, endowed with a powerful inner need to free itself from negative patterns of personality and way of life. Among Nines of Spades there are people whose life is full of losses, but there are also those who have devoted themselves to serving people and achieved happiness. In the Nine of Spades all the qualities of the other Nines are united. On some level it must release an enormous part of its soul, some key aspect of personality, in order to "die" and be reborn anew. This may be anything: from some personal or professional habit to a general approach to financial affairs or love relationships. In some cases one needs to get rid of all of the above at once. Nines of Spades can never completely ignore the spirituality inherent in them from birth. If they recognise this spirituality as an important part of their personality, they will be able to step onto the path of universal self-giving and free themselves from what has ceased to serve their highest interests. Thanks to this many Nines of Spades are able to make an important contribution to the history of humanity. This is the card of the greatest self-sacrifice. Nines of Spades often become famous artists, performers or teachers. The KING OF HEARTS as their Karma Card and Venus Card endows them with strength of feeling and a capacity for passionate love, charm and wisdom, which can bring them success and popularity. Many of them are talented musicians or actors. The same KING OF HEARTS helps Nines of Spades live through the emotional problems they surely face often in their life: the wisdom of the King of Hearts lets them overcome all negative emotions and fears. Moreover, NINES OF SPADES are capable businesspeople. They can achieve great financial success. But their greatest accomplishments lie in the sphere of the "mission of love". The wider the range of their pursuits and the greater the generosity they show to people, the brighter their innate strength shines and the further they advance on the path to divinity.

Relationships of the Nine of Spades with other people

The NINE OF SPADES is endowed with enough charm and emotional strength to attract almost any partner. But by virtue of the peculiarities of its number it is doomed to losses, so a subconscious fear pursues it: if it opens its soul to a loved one and gives them its love, it will certainly sooner or later lose them. Moreover, in youth many Nines of Spades live through an emotional trauma that leaves a painful scar on their soul forever. And yet if a lonely NINE OF SPADES stands before you, know this: they are using all their considerable strength not to let a partner near them. If they stop making efforts in this direction even for a short while, a romantic relationship will arise in their life by itself. Nine of Spades women are distinguished by extreme willpower and independence (this is connected with the KING OF HEARTS as their Karma Card). This can create difficulties in love relationships: not all men are able to cope with such a strong woman. For the same reason there are many single mothers among NINES OF SPADES: a woman born under the influence of any of the Kings can be both mother and father to her child. Be that as it may, a Nine of Spades woman is hardly likely to want to bind herself for life to one man, unless she falls into a codependent relationship and imagines herself the "saviour" of her partner. Nines of Spades are generous and responsive; love for a group often occupies no smaller place in their heart than love for an individual person. As has already been said, the Nine of Spades is doomed during its life to lose touch with several people important to it. But these losses should not be understood as a tragedy.

Compatibility of the Nine of Spades with other birth cards

Nine of Spades men feel a special inner kinship with Heart women. They are bound by a close friendship that may grow into love and end in marriage. For Nine of Spades women the same is characteristic in relation to men of their own suit. But with Heart men a very happy union is also possible for them, and to Diamond men they feel the strongest physical attraction.

My last life

Have you ever met people who claimed that they are now living their last reincarnation? When I hear something of the kind, it is usually hard for me to keep from laughing. Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems to me that a person living on Earth for the last time should be very happy. All their dreams, wishes and aspirations should come true. And since I have not yet met such a person, I do not believe I have come across anyone living their last life. One of the first people to make such a statement in my presence was a Nine of Spades woman born under the sign of Pisces. She is a book publisher and organiser. One cannot call her especially happy; but once she told me that it seemed to her she was living on our planet for the last time. Then I only smiled to myself and thought: "Yes, yes, of course. So am I." But later I understood that there was a grain of truth in her words. All NINES OF SPADES, like, incidentally, all other Nines, have come into our world to complete a large cycle of the soul's evolution. The NINE OF SPADES is the most powerful of all the Nines, since Spades are the last suit of the deck in order. Therefore the Nine of Spades in the present incarnation approaches an extremely important accomplishment in the spiritual sphere. By the way, that NINE OF SPADES possessed many of the best traits of her Birth Card. She worked almost exclusively for the good of other people; she received no reward for her labour and gave everything to the authors she worked with. On a practical level this means that the NINE OF SPADES is living the last incarnation in which they do a certain type of work or live in a certain style. Do not forget that Spades are connected with work, health and way of life — with what we do daily and yearly. In terms of activity every person whose Birth Card is the NINE OF SPADES will achieve much during their life. Therefore in relation to certain spheres of life the present incarnation really is the last for them. Now I believe that that woman felt this intuitively, although she did not interpret it quite correctly. The NINE OF HEARTS has come into our world to complete certain personal relationships and free itself from those types of relationships that have ceased to meet the needs of its evolution; the Nine of Clubs — to get rid of certain ways of thinking and communicating that have become useless to it; the Nine of Diamonds — to free itself from certain ways of earning money, and also from desires and values that have outlived their time. And for the NINE OF SPADES all this taken together is true — and not only this. Spades are the strongest suit of the deck. When they appear among the cards of our Life Spread, they affect our whole style of life and our activity. Consequently, the NINE OF SPADES must free itself from far more attachments than all the other Nines. It may really seem to them that after the present incarnation there is no more reason to be born. But one must not forget that every completion is only the end of another stage of evolution. The NINE OF SPADES is in fact preparing for a new life, far more joyful and happy than at the previous stage of development. It is only sad that too often it focuses its attention on the losses and bereavements inevitable for it.
