Nine of Pentacles

On her gloved arm perches a falcon whom the ancient Egyptians associated with the sun and all celestial deities. The falcon also represents freedom, liberty and intelligence. The Nine of Pentacles may also symbolize the "career woman" or the "professional woman as pentacles, of course, symbolize finance and the physical world.  She possesses confidence, poise and grace. Her world is safe and secure. In Chinese numerology the number nine symbolizes an "exulted status" and "stature" which clearly this woman exemplifies.
