Family, Friends & Relationships:

When the Nine of Wands comes up, the first and best step is often to take a deep breath and calm down. Don’t let the things you are worried about overwhelm you. Take it one day at a time, one hour at a time, if you must. At least some of your worries will very likely turn out to be imaginary. Get very specific on what you are afraid of and pick it apart. What is the true likelihood of the worry actually happening? Comfort yourself, and if you need help, don’t hesitate to ask for it. Asking for help is the mark of a strong person.

Card Meanings: Good Health, Learning From Past Failure, Courage, Backbone, Ongoing Battle, Guarded, Close To Success, Wounded, Nearly There, Not Working Out As Planned, Fatigue, Fight Your Corner, Last Stand, Drained Of Energy, Battle Weary, Perseverance, Persistence, Holding Out, Obstinacy, Setbacks, Expecting Trouble, Victory, Gather Your Strength

This is basically a very positive card, however as you move towards the highest cards in the suit, more complexity and difficulty can be indicated. The Nine of Wands is where some would say this begins. This card can indicate anxiety and worry – being burdened and keyed up over concerns.

Reversed Cards: In the Ten of Wands, it looks like the defensive fence or blockade in the Nine of Wands has been finally demolished and is being carried away. It’s as if you have decided to take your bat and ball and go home, which kind of makes sense, seeing as Saturn is retrograde in this card. The Lord of Giving a Crap is on vacation and no longer cares. If you have this card in the retrograde aspect, you could consider walking away from something that you have been fighting for. Gather up your energy and take it somewhere more productive.

Complete Book of Tarot: Do this exercise with each card for each position of a tarot layout or spread. Common spread positions include past, present, future, obstacles, assistance, advice, pros, cons, hidden issues, one’s environment, hope and fears, likely outcome, and so on. A detailed example of this exercise can be found in the book Tarot Decoder by Kathleen McCormack, in which the author gives her impressions of the meaning of each card in each of the ten positions of the Celtic Cross spread.

Complete Book of Tarot: Hebrew letter: Kaph (the open palm of a hand; a Hebrew word meaning to open, bend, allow, tame, or to submit to another’s will; also, hollow or outstretched to receive something). Palm readers claim to read our fortune in the open palm of the hand. This card suggests that we may have no choice but to stretch ourselves out and submit to the turns of the wheel of fortune.
