Nine of Wands
The Nine of Wands represents the culmination of a cycle where projects or relationships have reached their peak and now require decisive endings. Like harvesting crops at their prime, this card suggests cutting away what has fully realized itself before it begins to wither. It calls for recognizing when something has served its purpose and having the courage to end it while it still holds its value, making space for new growth and energy to emerge.

Symbolism
Santissima Rojo, dressed in red, everything is filled with vitality, passion, and suffering. But what is she doing? Those magnificent stems have already grown to their maximum and the time for harvest has come. The scythe is one of the symbols of severing connections, of harvest. She cuts away what has already fully realized itself. She doesn't tear them out by the roots. And with a new beginning they will sprout again, but now is the time to cut them. Severance, cutting, interrupting the process when it has fully realized itself. Everyone still wonders why? Everything is so great, they've grown so magnificent. But the person understands that they are already beginning to wither. What has fully realized itself - cut with your scythe. For withering will distort and pervert all the good that came before.
Card's Message
The person is now in the stage of realizing their plans. And they are already ready to finish this and think about something new. Or we will need to present this to them. Relationships - Sometimes you need to part ways before people become like 'brother and sister.' It's difficult to live and act in this. Relationships need new energy, passion, business, a child, a home. What nourished them has ended. It's literally necessary to stimulate new energy. Career - the matter will soon close. What supported it will begin to wither and seek something new. Not necessarily a new job, but still a new position, a new angle. Money - all energy has been realized, the person will soon receive their invested money in the near future. The money on which they spent their energy.
Visual Description
An armored skeletal figure in a red hooded robe stands mid-frame, gripping a long, curved scythe-like staff. Eight tall, red-wrapped wands rise from the ground around them while another wand rests horizontally near the base. A tree with leafy and partly bare branches fills the background; red petals drift through the air. A cluster of red roses and green foliage grows at the figure’s feet.
