Nighttime anxiety; the stories in your head wear you down more than what's actually happening.
Nine of Swords upright
Nighttime anxiety; the stories in your head wear you down more than what's actually happening. Swords belong to air: thought, words and conflict. A Swords card points at a decision or a story you are telling yourself.
Nine of Swords reversed
Anxiety shrinks in daylight; you tell someone what you're afraid of.
A reversed card is not automatically bad news. It can mean the upright meaning is weaker, turned inward, or flipped; the cards around it tell you which.
In love and relationships
A worry in the relationship that grows biggest at night; letting one unspoken sentence script every possible disaster.
Work and money
Sleepless nights; worry about work that really has grown heavy.
Advice
What you blow up at night won't be the same size in the morning. Don't mistake anxiety for thinking. Write the worry down to reread in the morning, and make no decisions at night.
Is Nine of Swords yes or no?
No. This card leans toward no, or not like this: what you are asking about runs into the obstacle the card describes.
Astrological correspondence
In the Golden Dawn system, which the Rider-Waite-Smith deck was drawn within, Nine of Swords corresponds to Mars in Gemini, 2nd decan.
