Nine of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

Nine of Swords Upright Meaning

When you see the Nine of Swords, you immediately think ‘nightmares’. That might sound like a terrible thing, and this isn’t an entirely positive card. However, the thing about nightmares is that they’re all in our head. It’s internal. Our external situation is not impacted, and therefore we can overcome these nightmares by looking inwards. Fear, anxiety, and depression can be crippling. This card is calling upon you to seek support in order to move forwards. Our thoughts and fears can have a massive impact on the quality of our life and therefore, in order to lead a positive life, we need to overcome them. Reach out to a loved one or a professional and begin to tackle your fears. Each step you take, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. They all add up and you’ll eventually overcome this. But not if you don’t do anything about it.
