Meaning Description

The Nine of Roses represents deep sadness and mental anguish. This is a moment of agony and dissolution. It symbolizes guilt, worry, victimization, and demands we face our feelings of regret and remuneration. However, the Nine of Roses encourages us to face these difficulties with an open mind and open eyes.

External Reflection

Visual Description

A tearful blonde girl in a sailor school uniform is curled on the floor, hugging her knees and looking distraught. Behind her is a tall window with panes and a gilded crescent moon emblem at the top, framed by a decorative gold border with small stars. Pink and one red rose with visible stems climb or float along the left side of the scene, and a green telephone-like box is mounted on the wall. A gold banner at the bottom clearly reads "Nine of Roses."
