Nine of Swords

Nine of Air · a card from the Eutheum deck

Upright

anxiety, worry, sleepless nights

Reversed

hope, recovery from fear

Upright meaning

Anxiety, sleeplessness, worry, and fears that grow at night. The Nine of Air speaks of thoughts that go round and round and give you no peace. Like the woman sitting up at night with her face in her hands while shadows of dragons lurk in the dark, the card reminds you that fear in your head can be bigger than reality.

Reversed meaning

Fears beginning to ease, seeking help, light after a hard night. Or the opposite: anxiety so strong you need to talk to someone you trust.

Love and relationships

Worrying about the relationship, guilt, imagining the worst. Reversed: a conversation that brings relief.

Work and money

Stress, money worries, fear of failure. Reversed: solving a problem that has been keeping you up at night.

The card's advice

Don't stay alone with your night thoughts. Say them out loud to someone.

In Natuland

A woman sits up in bed at night with her face in her hands. Nine blades hang on the wall, and the shadows of dragons lurk in the dark. Dark forces in Natuland can reach into dreams and feed fear.
