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.

I’ve had many readings by several different people. Today I had one with Pam.. and it was literally was completely different then any reading I’ve had. I requested a reading today on a very painful issue going on with my children. She has a nurturing and compassionate manner. From the moment I opening my reading I felt connected to Pam. At the end of it I was ready for another to dig deeper into some of my issues. And she suggested I wait a couple days before the next one. I’m biting at the bit to have another one with her. It was very detailed and key points were accrue. I won’t see anyone else from here on out. I appreciated the kindness from her knowing the pain I’m in. She’s amazing !! Thank you Pam.

Hi Pam, Thank you so much for the in depth reading. I knew the answer, I just needed clarification as to the outcome and the feelings. I appreciate the detail as I knew it was not my mind playing tricks on me,rather, I need to trust my intuition more. And my intuition said eh, no. ?? Thank you very much, succinct and compassionate. Blessings, Avril.
Yeah, woop woop, love Pams book. I bought the kindle version last year when it came out, and then the paperback this year. I am so happy I bought both. My tarot journey has grown so much. I love doing readings now. Just go buy Pams Book. ❤
