Nine of Pentacles
You achieved everything yourself: money, comfort, freedom. Owe no one, depend on no one. It's pleasant, but solitude in a golden cage remains solitude, even if the cage is luxurious.
Luxury proved hollow, or you realized you can't enjoy it alone. Maybe dependence returned, maybe material abundance didn't fill the void. Sometimes self-sufficiency is just a pretty word for isolation.
Standing in your own garden, surrounded by luxury you created yourself. Independence is when you need no one, but that's not always good.
