Nine of Swords Tarot Card Description
The Nine of Swords tarot card depicts a woman sitting on her bed, with her head in her hands. She appears to be upset or nervous, possibly having just woken up from a bad dream. There are nine swords hanging on the wall behind her, and the quilt covering her bed is decorated with roses and the various astrological symbols.
While at first place the card can appear quite daunting, the card aims to reveal deeper emotional issues that you may be keeping hidden or maybe avoiding. Or the card could also symbolise thoughts and feelings that are weighing heavily on your mind or keeping you up at night.
These troublesome thoughts and feelings may be due to overthinking or excessive worrying. Do not obsess over your fears; the more you think about them, the more they will affect you. Break out of this negative cycle, where-in, one negative thought leads to another, and then another, leaving you to feel completely overwhelmed.
In a tarot reading, this card usually suggests feelings of sadness. You may also be feeling sighing sensitive and emotional at this time. Do not be shy to seek support from your loved ones during this time. They can help you work towards a solution and help you get a sense of peace and control over your life. A different or objective perspective can help you get better clarity and understanding of your situation.
