Nine of Swords
The Nine of Swords represents a dark night of the soul, where one is tormented by obsessive thoughts, regrets, and painful memories. All past actions and wrongs done against oneself manifest as sharp mental blades of suffering. Though the mind captured by despair cannot imagine the dawn's arrival, it will inevitably come, offering hope beyond the current anguish.

The Dark Night of the Soul
Alone in her room, a lady surrenders to wild, obsessive thoughts. All her past actions, everything that was done against her—regret, unrequited love, misfortune and mistakes—torment her like the sharp blades of swords. This is the dark night of the soul, when everything seems lost. The mind, seized by hopelessness, cannot imagine the coming of dawn, but it will come.

Visual Description
A woman sits on the edge of a bed with her face buried in her hands, a long braid falling over her shoulder. Behind her, nine swords are mounted horizontally on the wall in a neat row, and one sword stands upright near the floor. The bedding is rumpled and heavy drapery hangs to one side, enclosing the small, gloomy chamber. The image is framed by an ornate border and the numeral 9 appears at the top.
