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.
