Keywords
Upright
The Nine of Wands represents resilience in the face of weariness. You have been working your way toward your goals for a very long time, and fatigue is setting in. Difficult lessons have been learned, and you continue down your path unhindered, dutifully moving forward through sheer force of will. There is no giving up when your goals are so close.
Reverse
Your setbacks have proven to be too much, and you feel broken under the weight of your responsibilities. The journey has been long and unfulfilling, and you cannot remember the point of all the struggle. You feel unsupported in your efforts. This may be a good opportunity to redefine your notion of success. If you feel like you have been set up to fail, try to determine what would help make your goals more manageable.
Visual Description
A small jester-like figure with wings stands on a large leaf, clutching a long star-topped wand as if steadying themselves. Eight additional star-topped wands form a vertical fence behind and around the figure, creating a guarded enclosure. A luminous circular halo of rings frames the figure's head against a bright yellow field; the Roman numeral "IX" appears at the top and the word "wands" at the bottom.
