Okay, so I’ve been digging into tarot cards lately, trying to get a better handle on my own feelings. It’s been… a ride. Today, I pulled the Nine of Wands, and man, did it resonate.
First, I shuffled the deck, really trying to focus my energy and think about what’s been weighing on me emotionally. Then, I spread the cards out and just let my intuition guide me. Boom, Nine of Wands staring right back at me.
What I Did
- Shuffled the deck: Like I said, I really tried to put my energy into it.
- Spread the cards: Gave myself plenty of options to choose from.
- Drew a card: Followed my gut, and there it was.
Initially, I was like, “Okay, what does this mean?” I’m still pretty new to this, so I had to do a little research. I looked up some interpretations online, and everything seemed to click.
The image on the card itself is pretty telling – a guy looking beat up, but still standing, leaning on a wand like he’s ready for anything. He looks tired, sure, but also determined.
From what I gathered, the Nine of Wands, when it shows up related to feelings, it is about being resilient. It is about you are feeling guarded and protective. You have been through some tough experiences and are bracing yourself for potential further challenges. It’s like, I’ve been through the wringer, and I’m still here, a little bruised, maybe, but definitely not broken.
I’ve been feeling pretty worn down lately, dealing with some personal stuff and work stress. It felt like one thing after another, you know? This card was such a validation of that feeling – like, “Yeah, you’re going through it, but you’re strong.”
It’s made me realize that I’ve built up some walls, some defenses. That’s okay.
It’s not about being defeated; it’s about acknowledging that I’ve got the strength to keep going, even if I’m feeling a little battered. I’m going to keep practicing with my tarot deck, and hopefully it keeps leading to these “aha!” moments.
