Tarot Card Meanings - Nine of Wands

Tarot Card Meanings - Nine of Wands

The 9 of Wands is a directional card (i.e. Sagittarius). It represents a push forward in a direction, or towards a purpose, that is only gradually becoming conscious.

To achieve the purpose of the 9 of Wands (i.e. to take the next step on your Soul Path) requires that the personal emotional attachments, blockages, insecurities, and fears (represented by the Moon) be overcome by the growing inner spiritual force of the soul (i.e. represented by the Sun).

When the 9 of Wands is reversed it sometimes means that a person is traveling back towards where they have come from... 'going home', for example. In mundane matters, this is not necessarily a 'negative' step - other cards tabled close to the 9 of Wands in the layout will indicate the outcome of the 'return'.
