Helios' Struggle

Helios hangs within Nehelenia's cage. Trapped and injured, Helios' spirit escapes to the dream world to seek help from Chibiusa and rest from his ordeal. Though currently struggling, he has the resources to continue the fight in the form of the Wands surrounding him. However, though Wands imply physical and mental strength, they lack emotional power, so these webbed Wands can also represent additional challenges he must face.

Call to Persevere

The Nine of Wands demands that we prepare ourselves in order to persevere. It encourages us to move through difficulties with focus and strength. The Nine of Wands can indicate that the constant conflict and vigilance has threatened our resilience and we may need emotional support or a break.

Reversed Interpretation

The Nine of Wands identifies a need to fight on in a different way. We need to look for a different approach to combating problems. It can also represent defeat, a failure to defend, and that we feel overcome by the problems around us. The Nine of Wands can also indicate that the attacks we perceive against ourselves are not threats, but just illusions exacerbated by fear and paranoia.

Visual Description

A pale, green-tinted Sailor-style figure floats horizontally, their limbs wrapped in tattered bandages and stretched across the composition. Nine ornate wands encircle the central figure like sentries, each decorated with stars, moons, and colorful gem-like motifs. A large golden crescent sits at the top, and a decorative gold-frame with small stars borders the dark purple background. At the bottom a white banner in elegant script reads "Nine of Wands."
