9 OF WANDS OVERVIEW

Brazenly, the nine of wands stands guard, poised and ready to take on anything thatcomes her way. She has been defending this place for so long that she can’t rememberwhat it’s like to not be defending her fence of wands. She can remember, however,that it seems like the battle has already been won, and that it was won throughresilience, effort and defiance. The others have already left their posts to rejoice intheir newly found peace, but she’s not quite ready. Not yet. She wants to make sure that they are safe, and she feels like one last stand is required of her. Is it residualfear? Necessity? She’s not really sure. But somewhere in her heart, she knows it’stime for her to let go. Underneath her battle scars, she wants nothing more than to feelthe safety net of rest. She leans on her most intimidating wand, and wrestles with thesedating calm that begins to creep into her bones. She promises herself that this willbe the last stand she’ll take – one final push to complete this task, and tomorrow, yestomorrow, she will retreat.

MESSAGE FROM THE 9 OF WANDS

Stability and hard work are the ingredients that will help you find success in thismatter. Adversity? Pshawww. You’ve got this! As you round the corner of success,something may surface that threatens your feelings of security and achievement. It’simportant to remember how far you’ve come. Don’t see this minor deceleration as asymbol of failure, and don’t give up now! You are almost there! Step into resilienceand take this final step. Attainment and completion are in store for those who aredetermined and tenacious enough to continue. In shadow, this card suggests you aremaking things harder than you need to, or being overly defensive about your situation.Sometimes, we need a break from the monotony of being protective in orderto see that there is no longer a need to hold that sticky, guarded energy close to our hearts. You may even be inadvertently choosing the more difficult path because youbelieve, on some level, that healing and ascension are ‘difficult’ tasks. Sometimeswe become so enamored with our stories, that our own shadows become romanticnotions that we seek to defend. Are you tied to the idea of navigating your specificchallenges on the path? Have any of your ‘shadows’ become ‘excuses? Or have anyof your old ‘battles’ become your raison d’être?

QUESTIONS FOR THE SEER

• What could you do to make your life easier?
• Are you being over-protective in your current situation?
• Sometimes, as light and shadow seers, we choose the more difficult path because we believe we are making progress when we are ‘fixing our shadows.’ Are you tied to the idea of your painful lessons?

• You’ve overcome so much and come so far. What have you learned about yourself?
