Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - 9 Of Swords Reversed
Introduction: The 9 of Swords reversed can show that you are worried about something; and perhaps for good reason. The thing is to not let worries get too far out of control and to take action about the things that you can control. Keep any worries in perspective. Rarely are any problems permanent.
General: Especially when it comes to people you have just met, the reversed 9 of Swords definitely suggests caution. These new people may not be who they seem to be. Use caution and reasonable doubt when signing anything, and when it comes to business deals. Slow down.
Work: As with the upright 9, the reversed 9 of Swords tells you that worrying about your job is not going to change anything. Do the best you can, and don't be timid if you feel that someone in your workplace is not treating you fairly or has taken credit for your work in some way. If you are looking for work, you will not help your case by holding back. Speak up for yourself and your talents.
Love: When the reversed 9 of swords appears in a love context, you may need to give deep thought to what is happening in an existing relationship. If you feel that your partner is or has been dishonest, this is a good time to check into it. If you're looking for love, take your time when getting to know new people now. You could come up against someone who is out for a good time, and nothing more - and who is practiced at telling people what they want to hear but doesn't follow through. Trust your gut.
Finances: The reversed 9 of Swords tells you that you need to be cautious about who you trust when it comes to money. Check and double check before you loan money, and don't loan more than you can afford to lose. There is a very small chance that you could be accused of something you didn't do when it comes to money. If this occurs, stand up for yourself and get legal help if necessary.
Health: With the reversed 9 appears in the context of health, this is no time to be embarrassed or timid about your body. If something is concerning you about your health, talk to your doctor about it in no uncertain terms. The help you need is available. You just have to go after it.
Spirituality: You may be "beating yourself up" about something and this could be interfering with your spiritual development. Whatever happened in the past is over now and there's nothing you can do to change it. Forgive yourself, if necessary. You are not defined by your past or by any single action. You are your own worst critic.
