5. What is the most empowering action that Randy can take for the sake of his own health and wholeness?


To this question, I drew the 9 of Coins.

Here’s another card that may require a bit of explanation. On this card, we see a picture of a woman, whose demeanor appears calm, serene, and contented, strolling through her vineyard or garden. It seems that she is surveying the fruits of her labors, and taking pleasure in them.

She is alone, without any other companions, and her garden is gated in such a way as to allow in only those whom she deems fit.

One of the primary ideas behind the 9 of Coins is self-sufficiency. It’s meant to convey a sense of someone who has come into their own, who is comfortable in their own skin, and who doesn’t necessarily equate being “alone” with being “lonely.” In fact, some of the suggested meanings for this card include, “handling the situation alone,” “acting on your own,” “doing it all by yourself,” and “falling back on your own resources.” This isn’t meant to be an egocentric stance, but perhaps, after the awakening of Judgement and the foundation-shaking of The Tower, you have a better sense of where you stand, what you’re comfortable with, and what you’ll allow into your “garden.” And if so, then you may have “come home to yourself” as never before.
