THE MESSAGE:
The Nine of Swords speaks of attainment, accumulation, experience and completion.


The IX of Swords is a card that speaks of inner-feelings of guilt, sorrow and confusion. It asks you to take time for inner reflection in order to overcome debilitating emotions. Although our fears may be ungrounded, they can nevertheless prevent us from enjoying our lives to the fullest. Sometimes the fears derive from deep-rooted guilt, which is the most crippling of emotions.


The 9 of Swords relates to the number 63 / 9, and gives the energy of the wisdom of Universal Love. It is the number of the humanitarian, of completion and of service and responsibility. The number 63 / 9 depicts one who has a need to assume heavy responsibilities, and suggests an even balance between the heart and the intellect.


MEANING:
9s appearing in a reading indicate the completion of events and implies that there is a focus on suffering and anxiety.


When the IX of Swords appears in a reading it may be an indication of despair and anxiety, which is causing misery. A sense of hopelessness may also be prevalent.


The 9 of Swords tells of sad circumstances, unfortunate events and on-going unhappiness. It also suggests dark thoughts, nightmares and troubles of the mind, even though the actual reality may not be so negative.

The Nine of Swords implies that this may be an introspective time for you and others who wish to seek help, but find they get little response.


The 9 of Swords tells of a preoccupation with past experiences; particularly those of a hurtful or painful nature.


As you may be feeling very low at this time you may have little energy, so the best way to cope is to let fate run its course without fighting it. Eventually this depression or 'dark time' will lift and happiness will re-enter your life.


The 9 of Swords can suggest that an anxiety and worry about what others think and say about you is keeping your mind in a negative state and you are encouraged to rest and still the mind.


The Nine of Swords indicates a fear of the future and an inability to relax. This leads to anxiety, sleeplessness and depression.
