Nine of Wands Tarot Card Combinations and Meanings
Suit Element:
Fire, male active energy Keywords and Phrases: Perseverance, nearly there… Nine of Wands Tarot Card Meanings The image in the Gilded Tarot has a slightly different tone to that found in the traditional Rider-Waite. Against the backdrop of a moody sky, the stance of the fatigued man suggests he’s been weathering the storm yet holds onto the ninth wand, determined to see things through and not prepared to throw in the towel, even though he seems to have been through the wars already. The Nine of Wands is a card of perseverance in readiness for the final hurdle. It may feel as though you’re at the end of your reserves or have nothing left to give, yet this isn’t the time to quit but to see things through and push forward. It’s similar to climbing a mountain when you’re close to the top, the last part of the journey seems to take the last of your strength and you can’t see anything except the mountain, but you’re almost at the pinnacle where you’ll finally be able to stand and admire the view and look back upon how far you’ve come; the hardest part of the climb is near the end. Keep on keeping on… you’re nearly there! If reversed or ill-dignified, this card can present obstacles to thwart efforts, or prolonged resistance that may ultimately defeat you.
