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.

Very Happy Customer This is not the first time I have had a reading from Pam and as always, I find her readings quite comforting an accurate, they make a lot of sense, they don't always tell me what I want to hear but definitely tell me what I need to be here. Pam always answers the questions I send over in great detail, leaving me feeling content and a lot clearer in my head. She is a delight to deal with and doesn't keep you waiting very long to get your reading to you. Many Thanks for your guidence in these tough times x

Hi Pam. I'm very happy also to be part of your Understanding tarot group where we can learn from each other and learn all about this and connect even more to the tarot.
Your book has transformed the way I feel about tarot. For so many years, I've tried to learn it and understand what each card means but now I see the cards differently, I notice things I never have seen before, your book has literally opened my eyes in a way I didn't know was possible. I have such a respect for the cards now and for the artwork of Pamela Colman Smith and the symbolism that she and Arthur Waite have brought to every card, that my desire to learn more about them grows each day.
Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and insights with so many of us. Blessings to you.
