Nine of Clubs as a Birth Card

People of this card know a lot and understand a lot. They have a broad outlook and see the whole picture. They need to share what they have understood, and they often become mentors.

But a Nine also teaches letting go: of outdated views, of arguments, of the urge to prove a point. The Nine of Clubs grows when it is ready to give up old ideas for truer ones.

• A broad view. You see the whole picture and connect different fields.
• A gift for teaching. You know how to explain and inspire curiosity.
• Wisdom. You value the truth more than being right.
• Openness to the new. You are ready to change your mind once you know more.

Knowledge can weigh on others. The person grows frustrated when others don't see what is obvious to them, and becomes intolerant.

Sometimes the Nine of Clubs clings to ideas long outlived, because it once believed in them. Wisdom includes being able to say "I was wrong".

You are interesting company: you know a lot and tell it well. In a relationship you need shared views and respect for each other's thoughts.

Don't turn your partner into a pupil. Sometimes they need not an explanation but your involvement.

The Nine of Clubs fits the work of knowledge and mentoring: teaching, science, writing, publishing, consulting, philosophy, spiritual education.

Its success is measured not in money but in how many people it has taught.

It is one of the cards with the most birthdays: twelve, one in each month. It alone owns February 29, the rare day that comes once every four years.
