General Meaning of the Upright 9 of Wands in Love and Relationships
I will now try to explain to you the meaning of this card based on my associations with the images that we see on the card.
On the card, we see a young man who hid behind a palisade of eight wands. This means that the wands pictured on the card Eight of Wands landed after a swift and hasty flight. In his hands, he holds the ninth wand.
When I first saw this card, the first thing I noticed was the headband. And that bloody trail from the wound. The wound has not yet healed and hurts. And in the soul of this person, it also hurts, because his face is sad and wary.
So, the understanding of the state of this man and what is pictured on the card that all gives the clue to the meaning of the 9 of Wands card.
That is, we see that this person is wise by experience. He was injured, the wound is still fresh and as a result, now he does not trust anyone, he is in a state of readiness to defend himself.
The young man is fenced off from the world with this palisade of wands so that no one can penetrate it. He is very careful. Therefore, this card means fenced off from people, caution, and prudence.
So the general meaning of the Nine of Wands in card reading is:
- hurtful past experience
