The Thoth 9 of Disks Card is also called Lord of Material Gain. This colorful Thoth card represents gain on all levels that are physical and that influence the physical; Hence, emotional gain, spiritual gain, mental gain, and physical gain. However, this is also Venus in the house of Virgo implying there is a certain lack of overt feelings.

When Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and harmony, is placed in the sign of Virgo in an astrological birth chart, it influences the individual with a unique blend of energies. Here are the characteristics of Venus in the house of Virgo:

This card is about everything you have worked so hard for that is now fruitful. By making smart decisions and managing your money and time smartly, you can now enjoy the fruits of your labor. It is an enjoyable time to treat yourself to something decadent.

Everyone knows that money doesn't fall from the sky (Unless you are DB Cooper), and that effort is often required to achieve success. The Thoth 9 of Disks suggests hitting the mark, a bull’s eye card which shows you are financially right on the mark because your heart (soul), mind, and Spirit are in union. In other words, you are creatively focused and have enabled gain on all levels of determined and persistent performance. You are successful because you haven't listened to the False ego and/or Shadow Self of the subconscious mind (the Archon- devil within) that tried to stone you with doubt and fears. Instead, you used diligent, and persistent performance to shatter the dark "tar and feathered" doubts that tried to keep your brain in the slavery of the Patriarchy/Military Industrial Complex with the active light of "I AM worthy of All".

On the Thoth card the blue circle symbolizes wisdom linked with our loving nature, (the pink circle), in a creative way (which is the green circle). This card also shows us that by utilizing our dynamic creative male energy (shown as the top coins with the planetary signs of Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter) we shall experience such gain.

• Saturn is the sign of the helmeted warrior who knows what his limits and boundaries are and is paying attention to detail.
• The feathered cap symbol of Mars indicates that energy, vitality, and assertion are a vital part of gain. 
• Jupiter, the King, reminds us that flexibility, being open to opportunity, expands our leadership skills that are also needed to experience material gain. But this is only half of gain, to be complete we need the feminine power of Maid, Mother and Crone, which are represented by the lower three coins:

1. The Maid is the youthful bare headed feminine figure that is the power of Venus and reminds us to follow our heart.
2. The coin with the Feminine figure that has a Queen's hat (Mother) is Mercury and reminds us that communication skills and nurturing leadership skills are needed to experience material gain. 
3. The feminine figure with the Crescent Moon headdress is the Wise Woman (Crone) who reminds us that we must be true to ourselves and to be authentic in our actions. 

The Thoth 9 of Disks card represents Yesod in Assiah and/or the influence of Yesod in the Material World. Yesod, meaning foundation, in the material world and therefore, this influence is very favorable for amassing things but with Venus in Virgo there is a lack of celebratory feelings accompanying this great efficiency.

This efficient amassing of material things is shown by the design complexity of Crowley's 9 of Disks. As he states in his book of Thoth, “The Disks are arranged as an equilateral triangle of three, apex upwards, close together; and surrounded at some distance by a ring, six larger disks in the form of a hexagram. This signifies the multiplication of the original established Word by the mingling of 'good luck and management'." Which says it all for this card.

The "original established Word" is that of the First Sephiroth Kether (The Diadem Crown) whose Hebrew- God Name is-Eheieh, meaning "I Will Be". Hence, you exist because you are supposed to and to fulfill your purpose is "to be present". But to be present, you must know yourself. You are the light in your life and the shadow it leaves behind. Time to stand in your Solar Power as the Celestial Being of Light that you are and declare the Wealth of you being you!

The Lost Soul Tarot- 9 of Pentacles depicts Material Gain as standing and stacked golden pentacles. This card's artistic minimalism implies wealth and relies on the number 9 as its explanation. Here we can imagine the Goddess of Wealth and Fortune-Fortuna is the power supporting these 9 Pentacles in the air above. Hence this card implies that it is time to enjoy the luxury your hard work and accomplishments have brought you.

1. Spiritual Significance

• Completion and Fulfillment: The number 9 is often associated with the idea of completeness and fulfillment. It is seen as the last single-digit number, symbolizing the end of a cycle before the new beginning represented by the number 10.
• Truth and Wisdom: Nine is linked with truth and the pursuit of wisdom. In Kabbalistic thought, it represents the sephirah Yesod on the Tree of Life, which stands for foundation and the channel through which spiritual energy flows into the physical world.

2. Biblical References

• Fruits of the Spirit: In the New Testament, there are nine fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23, which include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
• Nine Beatitudes: In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents nine beatitudes, which are blessings listed in the Gospel of Matthew.

3. Mathematical Properties

• Divine Completeness: The number 9 is unique in its mathematical properties. For instance, any number multiplied by 9, when reduced by summing the digits, will result in 9 (e.g., 9 x 3 = 27; 2 + 7 = 9).
• Self-Reflecting: Nine is considered a "self-reflecting" number because of this repetitive pattern.

4. Cultural and Mystical Associations

• Humanitarianism and Altruism: In numerology, which often overlaps with gematria, the number 9 is associated with humanitarianism, altruism, and serving others. People influenced by this number are seen as compassionate and eager to make the world a better place.
• Finality and Renewal: Nine represents the final stage before the renewal or rebirth associated with the number 10. This dual aspect signifies both the culmination of a process and the anticipation of a new beginning.

5. Hebrew Letters and Words

• Teth (ט): The Hebrew letter Teth corresponds to the number 9. It symbolizes good and evil and is often associated with the concept of concealment and potential.
• Emet (אמת): The word for truth in Hebrew, "Emet" (אמת), has a gematria value of 9 (Aleph = 1, Mem = 40, Tav = 400; 1 + 40 + 400 = 441; 4 + 4 + 1 = 9). This underscores the association of 9 with truth.

6. Kabbalistic/Qabalistic Interpretations

• Yesod: In the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the ninth sephirah is Yesod, which translates to "Foundation." It is a critical channel that connects the spiritual realms to the material world and is associated with generative power and connection.

The number 9 in gematria, therefore, carries deep and multifaceted meanings, ranging from the concept of ultimate truth and wisdom to the ideas of completion, humanitarianism, and the bridge between the spiritual and physical realms.

Here both the Thoth and Lost Soul Tarot also state the divination meaning of inheritance or material gain.

Therefore, all these symbols combined indicate that this is a person whose success was earned thanks to one's own skills of being Present as the Solar Being of Light: a passionate expression of I AM without need of result. When do what you love and love what you do, you will enjoy wealth and gain on the Spirit-Mind-Body planes of existence.

Many of us think doing what you love is just a hobby. However, take a risk, do what you love and get paid for it! When you love being you no matter what you do, you'll find that wealth is more than just coin of the land it is also a warm inner harmony that is undisturbed by environment and/or the surrounding emotional issues of others.

When the 9 of Disks/9 of Pentacles is thrown during a reading it implies:

• Inheritance and/or material gain, sometimes within 9 weeks or 9 months or the querent is experiencing it now for those time periods.
• A certain amount of Integrity, skill and talent has produced material gain and a sense of accomplishment.
• This is a purely material gain card, where talent and skill have come together in either a beginning stage of material gain or a good flowing gain on into wealth.
• That within the next 9 weeks or 9 months there is physical gain shown by organizing things and following your heart. 
• You are to be dynamically assertive (electric male force) and magnetically receptive (female force) which is following your heart and what has deep meant for you.
• Joy.
• Financial luck.

If ill defined by accompanying cards, it implies it implies.

•  It could mean a lack of discipline in material matters and the failure that comes with it.
• Avarice.
• Empty plans.
• Deception.
