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.

Pam did a reading for me a few weeks ago. What she told me where things I was thinking and feeling already. So it came more as a confirmation, that what I think and feel is real.

Pam has been so helpful to me. She gives me grounded perspective on things when I get lost in too much emotion, and this alone has helped the situation I asked her about more than anything else. Thank you, Pam!

Every reading I’ve received from her has been deeply meaningful. She has a rare gift for bringing clarity, even in the most confusing moments. Her insights always resonate, not just with the situation, but with my heart. What I appreciate most is the way she responds with genuine care and attention to every one of my concerns. You don’t just feel heard you feel seen. I’m truly grateful for her guidance.

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!
