Nine of Wands

The Fool now journeys to meet with the Nine of Wands and finds a need for patience. He is worn out by a situation and is a bit battered and bruised by events. He needs to take some time out. He knows that he may have won the battle, but he is not through yet and needs to re-evaluate matters. He feels tired and needs to take care of his energy, as he cannot give in. The Fool takes a breather but stays focused as things can still go his way or be completed.
Here we need a pause in action, not because we feel a need for fun; far from it, we could be feeling very tense, but because we need to clear our minds, feel safe, and collect our thoughts as we are feeling defensive and worn out.
Now is a time to conserve energy, find a safe spot, and protect ourselves. An attack may be real, yet as we may not be thinking clearly, it could be a knee-jerk reaction to the stress we feel.
We have suffered, we have fought, and the war continues, and we are adamant that we will not make the same mistakes again. What can feel like the last of our inner strength and patience is drawn upon as we recharge and re-evaluate events.
We can feel mistrust, be stressed and anxious, and feel a deep need to be on guard, and now is a good time to think about resolving problems before any progress can be made and balancing that with avoiding those things that tire you out even more.
Stop. Take some time out. You’re tired and may not be seeing things straight. Avoid any issues that will drain your mind and body.

Testimonials - Clients Kind Words
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!

I returned to Pam for a reading this week after an amazingly accurate reading from her last year. She’s given me the insight that I simply couldn’t see on my own.I feel much calmer and much more grounded about this issue now.Pam thank you for your compassion and clarity and for sharing your gift!

I've had a few readings with Pam over the last couple of years, all have been long term so have not wished to leave feedback just yet. However... everything Pam has told me so far has been spot on (unfortunately including the meeting a frog! Pam has predicted some positive things happening ahead so looking forwards, thank you so much!
