The Nine of Disks, Collecting Wealth

Magical Image of the 9 of Disks

In the second face of Virgo ascends a black man clothed with a skin, and a man having a bush of hair, holding a bag; they signify gain, scraping together of wealth and covetousness.

Two black men, both unarmed, one carrying a bag. Hair symbolises strength and virility. Since neither are armed, they are not hunting. The bag is for collecting things.

Picatrix gives an altogether darker picture of the reasons for financial gain.
