As a yes or no answer:Not yet
Upright
Tired but nearly there. One more push carries you through.
A wounded man leans on his wand, watching warily, eight more wands standing behind him. You have been through a lot and you are tired, but you are nearly there. The last stretch is always the hardest. Stay alert, draw on the strength that brought you this far, and keep going. Persistence will see you through.
Reversed
Exhaustion or defensiveness. Rest before you go on.
Reversed, the Nine of Wands shows exhaustion turning into defensiveness or giving up just before the finish. You may be guarding against threats that are no longer there. Rest before you go on, and let someone help you carry the load. You do not have to fight alone.
In love
- Upright
- Guarded from past hurt. Love is possible if you lower your defences a little.
- Reversed
- Weary of trying. Rest and decide if you still want to fight for this.
In career and money
- Upright
- Nearly through a tough project. Keep going.
- Reversed
- Burnout. Rest before you push again.
