Nine of Swords
Keywords: pain, worry, sleeplessness, stress, backstabbing, depression, illness
General meaning: When the Nine of Swords appears in a reading, it’s a sign that life may be getting under your skin. Sleepless nights and depression may be affecting your quality of life. Nightmares. What pain are you dealing with? Consumed by worry. Mental problems. Isolation. Difficult endings. Getting knifed in the back. Feeling like the victim. Crying the blues. I have also seen this card indicate illness, hospital stays – or rehab if combined with The Devil. Mental suffering.
Reversed: An period of worry comes to an end. Stress relief at last. Finding your way through a difficult situation. Healing. Facing the truth. Rest. Recovery from illness. The worst is over, dawg. Seeing the light or the way out. Even reversed, this card can still indicate depression.
Affirmation: I face my deepest fears and heal them.
Theme song: “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails
Journaling prompt: What is your main source of worry? What do you lose sleep over? What keeps you up at night? Journal out that mental stress and then burn the paper.
Blessings,
Theresa

I’m definitely not your average Tarot expert — I drop the F-bomb, I quote rappers, and I’m obsessed with pop culture + reality TV. Folks come to me for straight-talk + tough-love — without the woo-woo fluff.
