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.

Readings I have been coming to Pam for a reading for a few years now and she has been spot on every single time. She is very honest but also provides reassurance, guidance and insight as to how to move forwards or achieve the goal which has also been so appreciated. Thank you Pam for your accuracy and your kindness.

I received my copy (of Understanding Tarot) this week and already this is my favourite Tarot reference book. Such detailed descriptions of all the cards both upright and reversed but can also be dipped into easily for a quick check to see if you’re on the right path. This is a wonderful book….massive congratulations Pam Richards

My question to Pam was very vague but she described my situation without me even telling her and very descriptive! I got this reading 3 days ago and keep going back and rereading it and getting more out of it! I would highly recommend her! I know I will be back when I need to understand things more about me and my situations. Thanks Pam!
