Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, trying to get a handle on what they mean, especially when it comes to feelings. Today, I pulled the 9 of Wands in a reading about how someone feels about me, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a head-scratcher at first.
Getting Started
First off, I laid out my cards like I usually do – a simple three-card spread. I’m still a newbie, so I like to keep things straightforward. I shuffled the deck, thinking hard about the person and how they might feel about me. Then, I pulled three cards and placed them face down in front of me.
The Big Reveal
I flipped over the first two cards, but it was the third one that really caught my attention – the 9 of Wands. This card shows a guy who looks like he’s been through the wringer, all bandaged up and leaning on a wand, with eight more standing behind him. He looks tired but determined, like he’s ready for another round even though he’s beat.

Diving Deeper
So, I grabbed my tarot journal and started jotting down my thoughts. What does this card mean when it comes to feelings? Here’s what I came up with:
- Resilience: This person might be feeling guarded because they’ve been hurt before. They’re toughing it out, but they’re also a bit wary.
- Determination: Despite any past hurts, they’re not giving up on love or relationships. They’re still standing, still fighting for what they want.
- Weariness: Let’s be real, they’re probably tired. They’ve been through some battles, and it shows. They might need some time to heal.
Putting It All Together
After thinking it through, I realized that the 9 of Wands, as feelings, suggests that this person is a fighter. They’ve got some battle scars, but they’re not letting that stop them. They might be feeling cautious, maybe even a bit defensive, but deep down, they’re still hopeful. They’re like that guy on the card – a bit banged up, but still in the game.
My Takeaway
Pulling the 9 of Wands was a real eye-opener. It made me see that feelings aren’t always straightforward. Sometimes, people are hurting but still trying, and that’s okay. It’s a reminder to be patient and understanding, both with others and with myself. Tarot can be pretty wild, huh? It’s like a mirror for the soul, showing you things you might not have noticed otherwise. I’m definitely going to keep exploring and see what other insights these cards have to offer.
