Tired, guarded, and still standing.
Nine of Wands upright
- Sticking with it for the duration
- Fulfilling your promises and obligations
- Bearing up under incredible duress
- Dragging yourself across the finish line
- Picking yourself up by your own bootstraps
- Refusing to quit
- Going as far as you can go and being satisfied with your performance
Nine of Wands reversed
- Making yourself a martyr
- Abandoning your post
- Giving up at the first sign of opposition
- Being prevented from fulfilling an obligation
- Failing to be dependable
- Refusing to let something go that needs to be released
- Beating a dead horse
Nine of Wands as a prediction
- Don't relax yet; there's more to come
- The test you're facing now is happening for one reason: to show you who your real friends are
