Card of the Day - Nine of Wands Reversed

Reversed, Wands No Comments »

Nine of Wands reversed. To me this says “not ready to fight” today. It is true. That’s how I am feeling. I am going to not fight today. It’s not about giving up, but I want a rest today.

Nine of Wands shows a man leaning on one wand. Eight more wands form a wall protecting his position. He looks injured because it is not a new struggle. It is something that’s been going on. you can’t see the enemy on the card because he’s on higher ground and the others are blocked from view by the wall. He is winning the battle with numerous tools represented by the nine wands.

In reversed position it can mean not prepared. Lacking the necessary tools. I feel this strongly today and I really just want to not think about it and rest my mind for a day. The wand that he leans on also brings a strong message. It has a clear crystal and it gives an illuminating light that fills up the space around him. I feel that it is definitely lacking today. Also lacking is the necessary tool to continue the battle. Not depressed here. Just tired and need a rest.

Note: 12:35pm. Just for fun, I added a daily horoscope to my personalized Google home page. This is what it says for Virgo today:

Emotional currents can trap you in tidal pools as you move toward the weekend. You may try to fight an increasing irritation by avoiding the feelings, but settling into them can actually allow you to enjoy yourself more. Feel the conflict between work and your emotions without trying to resolve anything. Sensible solutions will be easier to find on Sunday when the Moon returns to your sign.

So, am I doing the right thing to rest my mind today? I think that’s what it meant by not to find solutions until later. But be aware of my feelings at the same time.
