Nines usually represent a new path--preparing for the next challenge ahead

Wands represent enterprise, distinction; social activities

a new environment or friends; last stand in which you will succeed; take time to reflect on your thoughts; focus is on unending foes and constant attacks--which you may be drawing to you; wisdom in work and social life; fair dealing and ability to protect relationships and business; using, intelligence and overcoming competition; use discretion in pending ventures; ability to persevere

If you get the Nine of Wands (R) in a reading...

If you get the nine of wands reversed in a reading, batten down the hatches and prepare for the storm. Things are going to get worse before they get better and any sign of weakness on your part will only prolong the negative situation.

Someone from your past may resurface. This card can be an indication that you need to start building initiative; begin to plan or you'll never have success.

Extra information:

Three nines in a reading can represent a great deal of communication or correspondence going on at this time

Four nines in a reading represent the potential that you will have to take on more responsibilities

Here's the disclaimer: I have to stress, I am not an expert in the Tarot and I use them for myself and friends (and my characters) to help answer questions about situations and the future.

Enjoy and have a great day,
