Nine of Swords
The Fool's journey leads him now to the Nine of Swords and offers him worry with a side helping of worry! He is anxious and concerned about a situation. Yet the fear and worry will not be the result of what is arriving but worry of what is being felt, and that fear and concern will be projected onto the outcome of a situation. The Fool loses sleep, tossing and turning, focused on the many things that can go wrong.
Worry, worry, worry.
The weight of anxiety and the pain that we carry is felt; it presses down on us and causes distress. The past tortures our minds as we superimpose the past onto the present or the future as we churn over what has gone by.
Sleep can be affected; we can toss and turn, our minds churning as we try to make sense of old anxieties and traumas or annoyances, and so our minds refuse to rest, and we can be left feeling like there is no escape from an issue.
We can fear the future. Are you dreading an upcoming event? Or the future overall? Feeling fears of failure, loss, loneliness, and all manner of negative irrational thoughts as pessimism governs the show. Yet it is worth remembering that with this card, those fears will often be unfounded, even if right now your thoughts are running wild.
It may not feel like it, but things may not turn out as bad as you think.

Some days ago I bought Pam Richards book and I started reading it. I've not finished it yet, but already I sincerely recommend it, as I'm finding in it a lot of answers, advices, tips, explanations related to a lot of important aspects that frequently are issues for newbies as I am: the meanings of the cards are very well explained, but overall I'm finding information about the spreads, the ways of shuffling, the way to start and prepare for a reading, (a wonderful tip to facilitate readings for ourselves), superstitions and much, much more.
I particularly appreciate the "not spiritual" and well grounded approach to the subject (not that it's denied, or refused, but simply it is correctly left to own personal beliefs).
A wonderful work, really worth!

Really delighted with the book "Understanding Tarot". Had a few tarot books over the years but this is the best. Also a comparatively large book nice and easy to read print. Highly recommend it.

I ordered a book (Understanding Tarot) online, but it was taking too long to get here. Ends up Amazon has it for Kindle as well and it’s on sale right now. I bought the kindle addition and oh, my goodness! If you don’t have this book, you’ll want to get it. Every card is described in great detail and so much information about tarot. I can’t wait to dive into the book! Thank you Pam Richards for sharing your knowledge with everyone. I won’t need anymore tarot books or manuals now.
