What symbol best represents spirit in my

A tended thing, not a displayed one — the card that came up for your question is the Nine of Pentacles, reversed.

当前指引 / The one card. The Nine of Pentacles upright is the finished garden: work done by hand, enough to be self-sufficient, value you can hold. Reversed, that turns inside out. The symbol of spirit in your practice is not the emblem, the title, the object you bought to stand for what you do — it's the small made thing that gets worn, refilled, and used up. Reversal here reads like a garden that is tended but never displayed: everything is growing, nothing is on show. This suit is matter — hands, objects, weight — so the cards are not pointing at a vision or a name. They are pointing at an object.

Two things to check in what you already own of this. If the first thing your hand reaches for when you begin is something you made, or something that wears down and gets replaced — that is the symbol this card is naming. If instead it is the object that sits finished on the shelf, or the one you keep meaning to buy properly next season, that is the same card turned the right way up: the symbol of how your practice looks, not of what feeds it.

The step: within 48 hours, lay out every object your practice actually uses — not the decorative ones, the used ones — in a row on a table, in the order your hand would reach them. Then write down three facts about the one your hand went to: what it is made of, who or what gave it to you, and when anything new last joined the row. That last date is the piece you cannot get out of your own head, and it tells you whether the reversed Nine is describing a living practice or a kept one.
