Nine of Wands

Nine of Wands — Minor Arcana, from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

persistence, almost there, battle-worn

Tired, guarded and still standing. This is the last stretch, and you have more left than you think.

In a yes or no reading, Nine of Wands upright answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

Reversed

exhaustion, paranoia, defences too high

The guard is up against things that are no longer a threat. Rest before deciding anything.

In a yes or no reading, Nine of Wands reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Nine of Wands can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
