Nine of Disks

.

Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Antoine De Saint-Exupery.

.

"Nines", according to the Kabbalah, are the last, final step before the Ten (transformation, transition to a new level). This moment determines the meaning of the "Nine".

"Nines" are completeness, perfection, mastery, a certain ideal (for your level or class).

Accordingly, the Nine of Disks is completeness, perfection in Material or Financial matters.

Ten of Disks

.

After the first bottle of vodka, every shop teacher discovers they've got a gift for singing.

After the second bottle, they unveil in themselves a wise politician of global scale.

After the third, a still unknown philosopher for all times and places.

And only the inevitable morning hangover mercifully saves the Universe from being overpopulated by geniuses.

.

"Tens", according to Kabbalah, are transformation, metamorphosis, transition to a new state.

Thus, the Ten of Disks is a transformation, metamorphosis, transition to a new state of Matter or Finance.

For example, chemical reactions, phase transitions in Matter. The conversion of currencies or bank assets in Finance.

.

If a useful quality is attained from the transformation, then this is an «upright» Ten of Disks.

If a useful quality is lost, then this is a «reversed» Ten of Disks.

Page of Disks

Cemetery. The lavish grave of a «new Russian», with a five-meter marble headstone in the form of the latest cell phone model.

Under the portrait, there's a short epitaph: «The subscriber is currently unavailable».

.

The Page, according to Kabbalah, is a messenger, a herald.

Accordingly, the Page of Disks is a messenger, a herald, a kind of indicator that Matter or Finance is ready to manifest itself at a certain point in reality106106
  Bear in mind that reality is at least 4-dimensional. That is, a certain point in reality is not only a geographical space, but also a point in time.

Certain indicators/markers can also serve as a Page of Disks, signaling the presence of Finances – «the smell of money, wealth, security.»

.

That said, there are several classes of such Financial markers:

.

1) 

False markers. Various kinds of cheap, low-quality counterfeits of elite brands, well-known companies, and services. Such markers don't correspond in either form or content. For instance, the very chunky and flashy fake gold chains adorning the necks of swankers on social media.

.

2) 

"Borrowed" markers. Elite objects and services borrowed or rented for a limited time. Such markers correspond in form, but not in content. Rented limos, jewelry, watches, tuxedos, an escort, etc.

.

3) 

Fashionable brand markers. Various kinds of designer brands and labels, which can serve as an indirect indicator that a person has a certain amount of spare cash. Such branded things are generally more expensive than mass-produced goods, so they usually target wealthier people.

.

4) 

Well-made, expensive, goods of high-quality. For example, simple jewelry made of precious metals and gemstones. Expensive, natural, high-quality fabrics and materials, such as cashmere, natural silk, pure cotton, linen, crocodile leather, etc. Top brands and products which, from the outset, at cost, are expensive. For example, a Rolex watch

.

.

5) 

In the wild, all predators camouflage themselves to blend into the natural background. The strongest markers of wealth are outwardly inconspicuous, not flashy, yet expensive things, which mask the wealth of their owner. For example, certain brands and models of worn-and-torn clothing disguise their owner as hippies, the down-and-out, the homeless, etc. And platinum, for instance, which looks like cheap silver, is more expensive than gold. Such a disguise can help its owner avoid the unsolicited attention of beggars, robbers, gigolos, kidnappers, blackmailers, etc.

The distinguishing feature of the Page of Disks – it serves as an indicator of the manifestation of Matter (or Finance).

Queen of Disks

.

A business woman is sitting in a bar. A man comes up to her:

-Hi, there! Mind if I keep you company?

– Company? You keep companies? Are you buying or selling?

.

The Queen, according to the Kabbalah, is some person or object which serves as the center of attention, the focal point of power and influence. The object around which Matter or Finance «revolve».

Accordingly, the Queen of Disks is the focal point around which Matter or Finance revolve.

This center, for example, may symbolize an important object, a building, a landmark, an important customer, or a bank.

A word about how to determine the Tarot suit of the «persona»:

If it makes little difference whether or not the Persona is dressed, if they attract the observer's attention with their physical body, their Material presence – most likely, this is the Queen of Disks.

If it's the Persona's charm, allure, and emotions that draw the viewer's attention – most likely, this is the Queen of Cups (Hearts).

If the Persona attracts attention with a particular concept, motto, idea, philosophy, action/statement (such as Lady Gaga's meat dress), then this is the Queen of Swords (Spades).

If the Persona draws attention with a particular trend or fashion, suggests some sort of potential, project, development path, or choice, then this is the Queen of Wands (Clubs).

That said, gender, race, biological species make no difference. Tarot Queens can symbolize both a man and a woman. As well as inanimate objects and even processes.

A claim to fame and a desire to grab attention – these are a "reversed" Five, in the aspect of the element where it's most manifested.

The distinctive feature of the Queen of Disks is her V.I.P. status in Material or Financial matters. And that she serves as the focal point around which these revolve.

King of Disks

.

A traffic cop signals a Mercedes S600 to stop. The «new Russian» pulls over, but doesn't get out of the car. The traffic cop waits for the driver to go up to him. A minute or two passes. Finally, the window of the Benz is rolled down:

– OK, pal, I haven't got all day. Which one of us here, in fact, actually needs the dough? Me or you?

.

The King, according to the Kabbalah, is the law, the law-giver and law-maker, a wielder and conductor of Power.

The object through which Power "manifests", controls, or is conveyed to the world.

Accordingly, the King of Disks is a Power Conductor of Matter or Finance.

In the Material world, he may symbolize, for example, a crane at a construction site.

In the Financial world, for example, he may symbolize the main formative market players. Such as, for instance, the dominant world currencies – the dollar, the pound, the euro, etc.

Ace of Disks

.

A «new Russian» is planning to go on holiday to Cyprus.

His personal secretary arrives first and goes for a walk on the beach

with the owner of the 5-star hotel.

– And what's this?

– What do you mean? The seashore. Pebbles.

– Pebbles – no, that won't do, the boss does not like the stuff. Get rid of the pebbles, and pour

white sand everywhere.

– But that would cost a fortune!

– We're paying! Everything's gotta be just right!

The next day, the beach is covered with sand.

– And what's this?

– It's the sea!

– What sea? It's a filthy puddle! In short, clean up the sea, change the color,

the tide should roll in every 30 seconds by 55 centimeters.

– But this is underwater engineering work, very expensive stuff, as I'm sure you realize!

– We're paying! Everything's gotta be just right!

– And what's this? What's all that noise and racket?

– It's the seagulls?! They always live around here.

– No seagulls. Get rid of them all! On second thought, leave two – they can walk along the beach together, but no flying, under any circumstances.

– But that would wreak havoc on the environment, and it would also entail training of seagulls!

– We're paying! Everything's gotta be just right!

After some time, all the work is completed.

Finally, the boss himself arrives. Checks into the penthouse suite.

Walks to the sea along the clean white sand, admires the two seagulls,

as they stroll lovingly together by the seashore. Sits down on a lounge chair, takes a deep breath

of fresh sea air, and says:

– My God! Such beauty and splendour! These are pleasures that even money can't buy.

Aces, according to the Kabbalah, are a primal source of Power, a manifestation of the Absolute, an overwhelming power or force, a force majeure.

An object, a process when Matter or Finance «overwhelmingly» enter the world.

Accordingly, the Ace of Disks is the "overwhelming" force of Matter or Finance.

In the Material world, it may symbolize, for example, a bulldozer or a Fed printing press133133

.

Please, note:

The concept of an «overwhelming» force or power depends on the «caliber» of the subject or observer.

For an ant, an «overwhelming» force may be a baby finger. For a mountain the size of Fujiyama, not every nuclear explosion is an «Ace».

Please, note:

In our Solar System, the main142142
  The main, but not the only. Not to mention the fact that our Solar System is, in fact, a binary star system, it simply obeys formative Cosmic vibrations. Therefore, our «Ace» – the Sun is merely a «zero» on a Galactic scale.

All other manifestations of Matter are, one way or another, only a consequence of its activity.

Knight of Disks

.

Got the urge for some tea… and all hell broke loose:

Bun, butter, sausage, cookies, sweets…

On the whole, turned out quite well…

About three kilos' worth…

.

The Knight, according to the Kabbalah, is going or being with the Flow, with a stream, a trend.

An object, a process, where the Force has swept up the Stalker and carried him off.

Accordingly, the Knight of Disks is going/being with the Flow of Matter or Finance.

For example, a bullet flying.

.

Please, note:

The distinctive feature of the Knight card is that the object remains still and motionless, like the Knight. While, at the same time, being in motion, like the horse on which the Knight is sitting.

This contradiction makes the Knight card immediately recognizable.
