There are joyful or calm cards in the Tarot deck, some cause fear, others reflect a state of despair. The last one is the Nine of Swords. Even the image on the map encourages sad thoughts, it literally radiates a state of depression. Let's look at the meaning of the nine of Tarot Swords, how it is interpreted in the layouts.
Description and essence of the lasso
The card shows a woman in bed. She covered her face with her hands and with her whole appearance conveys deep despair to the viewer. The Nine of Swords is a card of depression. It must be understood that this state is transient. Everything in the world develops in a spiral. Achievement is the loss of striving towards a goal. She is already in the hands, therefore, the interest is gone, collapsed. Man is looking for a new meaning of life. And this is a difficult process. Its emotional component is described in the Tarot Swords deck. The premonition of danger - the figure eight - turns into an understanding of the destructiveness of the current period. Its essence reflects the nine of Swords (Tarot). A person comes to understand the futility of past aspirations, the inspiration that previously gave strength leaves him. This is a card of despair and depression. Often she shows the pangs of an unclean conscience. The Nine of Swords is not only moral suffering. She is associated with realbody diseases. The energy of a person has ended, he does not have the strength to resist life circumstances. In a broader sense, the lasso symbolizes the situation of a tough choice between holiness and blasphemy. This is a painful process that drags a person into a fog of unbelief and uncertainty. The supports, which previously supported, broke down, it is necessary to look for new ones, and it is not clear where exactly. By the way, this is how the sick person feels: it seems to him that the illness will never end, it will devour his body forever, until his death. There is no one to help end this suffering.
Reverse Nine of Swords Tarot: Meaning
The inverted card carries an even more negative meaning. He is a harbinger of the fact that a person will not withstand the burden of circumstances, will take the side of universal evil. The result will be terrible pangs of conscience. 9 of Swords upside down is a betrayal committed due to forced circumstances, the inability to continue to be true to one's principles. A person refuses everything that his parents and educators inspired, he will inevitably fall to the moral bottom. If the lasso often falls out in layouts, it means that someone from the environment or the fortuneteller himself is prone to antisocial acts, he himself seeks under the protection of dark forces. This person does not understand the power of shrines, is not ready to endure the slightest deprivation for the sake of a clear conscience. The Nine of Swords (inverted) in a relationship speaks of too much difference in the worldview of the partners. This may be the result of upbringing in a different environment or mental belonging to two opposite,non-intersecting worlds. Arcana should be taken as advice in any position. You are or will soon find yourself in a very difficult situation. The decision will have to be made independently, no one will tell you. And those who try to help will not be trustworthy. And the whole future depends on the decision made. Under the influence of the 9 Swords, the most terrible, shameful acts and even crimes are committed.
Philosophy of layouts
Such a heavy lasso "spoils" any combination of cards. The Nine of Swords in any position indicates that a period of spiritual rebirth is coming. All people face this experience. The essence of our life is development. And it is not smooth. Behind the takeoff and success are hard work, intense reflection, spiritual quest and the right decisions. On this road it is not surprising to stumble. And it's not just the obstacles. Nearby are people who have their own view of things. We interact with them, argue or agree, quarrel and make up. This pushes for new achievements of the spirit, reflections, changes in worldview. We set goals and achieve what we want. After receiving comes devastation and rethinking. This is a period of energy decline and the search for a new goal. It is insidious in that a person ceases to appreciate what previously seemed important, it is already in his hands. A doubt creeps into the soul that he acted correctly, and behind it the rejection of the former authorities. Our nine is the torment of the soul, often reflected in the physical body. These are the fears of the night before dawn. In life, they have a specific practical implementation, everyone has their own.
Interpretation of the love alignment
The appearance of Swords is unfavorable when guessing at relationships. This suit speaks of some tension, a problem. Cups are responsible for feelings, and conflicts, wars, tough rationalism bring Swords (Tarot) to the layouts. The value in the relationship of our lasso plays destructive. And only the depth of the conflict depends on the position of the card, but not its presence. If the lasso fell in the “past” position, it means that the crisis as a whole has been overcome, but still affects the situation. It's bad when the Queen of Swords appears nearby. This is a sign of influence on the relationship of a woman, cunning, treacherous, selfish and aggressive. Simply, your love has become the object of envy of an active witch. This is what you can call a person who sticks his long nose into other people's affairs, trying to destroy the happiness of other people. Next to the prosperous arcana, the nine of swords card softens a little. It does not show the suffering of the soul, but a specific physical ailment. In the female scenario, this can be banal menstruation, but in the event that our lasso fell out in a straight position. Inverted portends a more serious illness that will make you put things off, put you to bed. And we should not forget that all conflicts, scandals, breaks, and related proceedings show Swords. In Tarot, the meaning of each suit is strictly defined. Swords are considered the strongest, they impose their meanings even on the major arcana.
Interpretation of the business layout
If the Nine of Swords fell during divination, get ready forproblems. Not necessarily they will be insoluble, but they will force you to get ahead. The essence of the conflict, and we are talking about disagreements with other people, are judged by the neighboring arcana. For example, an inverted Queen of Swords with a nine in the same position speaks of the betrayal of a woman whom you unconditionally trusted. The king in the same combination portends the injustice of the authorities or the inspection body. When the question concerns negotiations or the conclusion of a contract, leave hope for a favorable outcome. The meeting will be postponed due to the illness of one of the partners. If there are unfavorable major arcana nearby, you will have to refuse a profitable offer, positive cards - everything will work out soon, you will be able to find a common point of view. The described nine indicates the presence of a conflict. It is important to understand that the accompanying cards speak about the essence of the situation. For example, the Moon with Swords speaks of deceit. Moreover, they decided to rob the fortuneteller, taking advantage of his trust. The enemy should be looked for nearby, this is a close person. The Tower with the Nine of Swords portends the complete destruction of plans, for a business person - bankruptcy, the loss of a significant part of the property. If a Jester appears next to the described lasso, you will reproach yourself for listening to the flatterer and rejecting the offer of a decent person.
Influence in he alth alignment
It's really bad if our lasso appears when the question concerns the state of the body. To the sick, he portends the aggravation of the disease, to the he althy - his appearance. Forget about an active lifestylefor a long time. The state of the body will not allow you to work normally, enjoy communication with friends and relatives. In addition, our lasso indicates more serious, underlying causes of the disease. If the Tower, the Moon, the Court are nearby - we are talking about karmic problems, the Devil - about an excessive desire for pleasure, the Hanged Man - about destructive self-restraints. An inverted card indicates the impossibility of solving the problem on your own. In this situation, you need to contact a specialist. And the sooner help arrives, the weaker the negative consequences will be. The Nine of Tarot Swords, the combination of which with other arcana, as a rule, enhances the negative, is favorable in terms of the likelihood of a favorable outcome of surgical intervention. It portends a recovery period after surgery. That is, it is a conscious plunge to the bottom of despair in order to remove the nest of the disease.
Card of the day
Described lasso projects depression and despair on all aspects of a person's life. But there are situations when it can be called not only positive, but not as difficult as in combinations with others. This happens when only 9 of Swords are dropped. The card of the day is just such a situation. Our lasso is enhanced by the energy of the cards that appear nearby. When it appears in "proud solitude", it can be perceived as an ordinary nuisance, and not a terrible grief. The nine suit of Swords indicates that the day will be cloudy, bleak. As a rule, it portends a minor illness, the onset of menstruation for a woman, for example. Flipped overindicates physical or mental suffering. But they will not be global and will end quickly. In general, the day will pass, as they say, and thank God! Do not expect significant events from him. Probably, on this day you will break your heel or cut your finger, a runny nose or a toothache will begin. The problem will be quickly solved, but, to put it mildly, it will not deliver pleasure. On such a day it is undesirable to plan important matters. Postpone them for another, more favorable time. If you have a public speaking, participation in a mass event, take a charm with you. Nine sometimes indicates "evil eyes" directed in your direction. Inverted, speaks of pangs of conscience.
Combination with Major Arcana
In the layouts, the cards are interconnected. They give rise to original energies, point to the subtleties and nuances of the situation. The Nine of Swords with other cards translates the following meanings:
- with the Jester - the younger generation has problems;
- with the Magician - the impossibility of fulfilling the plan;
- with the High Priestess - unconscious torment, deep anxieties;
- with the Empress is a threat to women's he alth;
- with the Emperor - a cruel man nearby;
- with the Hierophant - shame;
- with Lovers - sleepless nights;
- with the Chariot - constant nightmares;
- with Strength - discouragement;
- with the Hermit - lack of support in a difficult situation;
- with the Wheel of Fortune - unsteady ground underfoot;
- death is a disaster;
- with a Star - hope;
- with the Sun - the triumph of justice;
- peace with the world - exit fromcrisis.
If our lasso is turned upside down, then all favorable predictions should be pushed back in time. That is, if hope appears, then not soon, there will be a way out later than you want, and so on. The Nine of Swords does not deny the positive meaning of the major arcana, but rather muffles emotions. This means that the joy will not be so sincere, the achievement will not bring pleasure, the impression of success will be spoiled by trouble.
Tip cards
The philosophy of Tarot is that everything that happens leads to development. There is nothing useless in the world. What we perceive negatively, with suffering and tears, pushes us to rethink the past, change our behavior, and look for other ways. Pain is just a stage in the ascent to happiness. Our nine is a harbinger that despair is finite. It cannot last to the grave. Hope for light should not leave you even on the darkest night. A little time will pass, and the sun will peek over the horizon. Despair makes you stronger, suffering leads to the appearance of kindness in the soul. And the terrible torments that we endure steadfastly make us perceive moments of joy much brighter, appreciate them more. Nine recommends not to concentrate on your experiences, not to turn away from the world. Try to find the rational grain in your fears. For example, betrayal hurts the heart, but it makes you take a closer look at those you trust, abandon people who are not worthy of trust. They will leave, the space will be clearedfrom negativity, right? In their place will come sincere friends who can love you for who you are. Even death is the harbinger of new life. But our lasso does not speak of such global changes. It reflects the suffering of the soul, striving for divine harmony.
Conclusion
People who are just starting to understand the intricacies of the Tarot are surprised why our lasso speaks of both mental and physical pain. It is difficult at first to distinguish, to determine what the harbinger is in a given situation. In fact, it's the same pain. Nine speaks of the presence of a conflict between the ego and the inner "I". It develops progressively, if not eliminated. At the first stage, discontent appears, it becomes chronic. Surely you have come across people who constantly grumble, swear, and are dissatisfied with everything. This is already the second stage of the conflict - the soul takes possession of the negative in the broadest sense. If it is not worked on, then the disagreement between the ego and the soul deepens. At this stage, a physical disease manifests itself. The description is schematic. It happens that the process develops over the years, and it can go quickly. They were offended, for example, at a loved one, and in the evening they fell into bed with a sore throat. Get better, analyze your condition on this day. Surely you will find all the stages of the development of the conflict. But back to our sheep. The Nine of Swords in the "past" position says that the conflict described is nearing completion. If it falls out as a result of the situation, the test is yet to come. It can be prevented by engaging in spiritual practices. Trouble will still happen, but you will pass it easily, notbothering. You know, some people never get sick, they don't shed tears, they don't wake up in a sweat from horror, and the like. Their brain is constantly working, analyzing what is happening and their place in situations. This, of course, is hard, but no energy is wasted on the “emptiness”, which is negative experiences and suffering. But when divining, the nine of Swords does not fall out to them. They do not have such energies in their aura, which is what we wish you. Good luck!
