Nine of Swords

Today you may have to confront your fears or face the music about something that you’re not too comfortable with.

The Nine of Swords — this version from the Deviant Moon Tarot — speaks of finding yourself in a predicament that is largely of your own doing. And while it may be hard to admit, avoiding responsibility for something you’ve created yourself will only exacerbate your problems.

This is sometimes called the “nightmare” card. It refers to the apprehension and fear we experience upon waking up from a bad dream. And when we’re forced to confront a real-life situation that has taken on nightmarish proportions, it can be just as traumatic.

There’s a sense of foreboding in this card. The child has awakened from a nightmare, terrified by what he’s seen. Nine Swords are lined up behind his headboard, their blades alternating left to right. A demon cat scurries across his bed clothes while a tiny ghoul gnawing on his shoulder (whispering madness into his ear) makes it all the more ominous .

You may have created a situation — or contributed to one — yourself that now has you terrified of potential consequences. You may feel like running away from your problems, or pulling the blankets up over your head again and pretending that none of it is real. But you’ll find that not confronting your demons and tackling the situation head on only makes them more harrowing.

The Nine of Swords is strangely empowering as it forces you to face your fears. There’s no more hiding or avoiding, as the circumstances in your life put them right in your path. You may have to remind yourself that it’s never as bad as it seems; that it was only a nightmare and that everything will look better with the dawn of a new day.

The card used for today’s tarotscope — Nine of Swords — is part of the Deviant Moon Tarot, designed and created by Patrick Valenza.

There is also a borderless version of these cards out now.
