Nine of Wands: Tarot card meaning. Teresa Francis-Chong, Terry Silvers
Since ancient times, people have turned to magic, trying to get answers to their questions. One of the effective ways is fortune telling using cards from the Tarot deck, which contain the power of all four elements and the wisdom of the ages. The element of Fire includes Arcana with the image of wooden Wands.
What does it symbolize
This suit symbolizes regeneration, a source of energy, inspiration, the flame of life and the desire for self-realization. 9 Wands of the Tarot - absolute self-control, purity of consciousness. Like any other card from the fortune-telling deck, it has favorable and negative interpretations. The meaning of the 9 Wands Tarona directly depends on its position and combination with other cards.
Description
On the front side of the 9 Wands of the Tarot there is an image of a guard performing his immediate duties, standing with a wooden staff in his hands. He is extremely concentrated, even tense. Constantly looks around. This card symbolizes the integrity of the consciousness of a person who is able to gather all his will into a fist and radically change his own life.
Card Feature
The 9 of Wands of the Tarot drawn in a reading, the meaning of which is absolute self-control, indicates that a person knows how to cope with life’s difficulties, and is also constantly on the defensive, protecting himself from the outside world.
As a rule, the 9 of Wands of the Tarot is a good sign for a person who finds himself in a difficult situation. She indicates that he will find the strength to overcome all difficulties. It is also a symbol of victory, which becomes possible thanks to the focus on results and the strong character of the questioner. If in the layout Nine is surrounded by cards that carry negative information, then you need to be prepared for a difficult period in life. A lot of troubles await a person ahead.
Often the card indicates a situation that has not ended. This can be an event from both the future and the past. What a person is currently doing may not be brought to its logical conclusion. The card is interpreted as perseverance and opposition to a phenomenon or people from whom one can expect tricks and troubles. However, at the moment there is no threat. Resistance and persuasion are a consequence of negative experiences in the past.
Tarot 9 of Wands: reversed card
An inverted card has several meanings, each of which is extremely negative. In a scenario it could mean:
- Regular postponement of the completion of any serious matter.
- Colossal losses, difficulties, disasters, unexpected obstacles.
- Loss of control over something that they tried so selflessly to protect and defend.
- Inability to analyze the experience gained and extract useful information from it, as a result of which you step on the same rake.
- Incorrect perception of reality, rather narrow thinking. If you don’t fundamentally change your worldview, you will constantly find yourself in difficult life situations. Learn to eliminate the causes rather than fight the consequences.
- Termination of personal development, degradation. Any work only takes all your strength, but does not bring any results.
- Serious illnesses.
In addition to the above, you can give the following advice to the fortuneteller. Tarot 9 of Wands (reversed) indicates the concealment of important information that can cause a lot of trouble in your life.
Love deal
In a relationship Tarot reading, the 9 of Wands can be interpreted in completely different ways. For example, the willingness to fight for one’s own feelings or the inability to love. But let's look at the main meanings of the Tarot 9 of Wands in love, which are used by famous tarot readers:
- A constant desire for loneliness, isolation and the habit of keeping people at a distance, fear of losing part of personal freedom or space. Such a state can provoke a negative experience, for example, betrayal of a loved one. Perhaps loneliness will have a beneficial effect on the state of your inner world and help heal mental wounds.
- Internal tension caused by the fact that a person is in constant readiness for self-defense. Prudence and suspicion towards everyone without exception are also inherent. A partner in a relationship with this person described by the Tarot 9 of Wands will face a difficult task. After all, the wall built between him and the outside world is difficult to break. Other cards from the layout will tell you whether to try to positively influence the situation or leave everything as it is.
- Reluctance to change your own life, to meet representatives of the opposite sex. Or vice versa. The desire to burn all bridges, to take a decisive step into the unknown.
- A card that appears during fortune telling for a married couple indicates that a crisis will come in their relationship, which will gradually alienate loved ones from each other.
As a rule, the Tarot card 9 of Wands in a relationship reading is a symbol of passivity, quarrelsomeness, lack of initiative, and inability to understand people.
Health
If we pay attention to the image of the card, we will see a guard who is standing with a bandage on his leg or head (it all depends on the design of the deck). Despite his injuries, as well as fatigue, he continues to perform his immediate duties. The Nine of Staffs, which appears in a reading, can become a timely sign indicating that it is time to pay attention to your own health. The map can signal both real problems and diseases that will appear in the near future, for example:
- Severe head injuries.
- Chronic fatigue, loss of strength, dementia.
- Poor immunity.
- Insomnia.
Most often, the Nine of Wands indicates health problems caused by overwork. You shouldn't joke with such things. We recommend that you seek medical help.
Business or career plans
The Nine of Staves is considered a favorable card for representatives of the protective professions - security guards, police, firefighters, lawyers, doctors. In a career scenario, it symbolizes a high level of discipline, prudence, the ability to competently distribute your working day, as well as a willingness to defend your professional interests at any level.
Modern interpretation of the Nine, which fell during a career alignment:
- Time to test your strength. A very important matter is approaching its logical conclusion, do not let fatigue take over you. It’s worth activating your hidden reserves and finishing what you started.
- A small respite in a protracted battle. There is an opportunity to take a couple of breaths of fresh air.
- Competitors will be activated in the near future. They will not be able to implement their insidious plans, but you will have colossal problems.
- There will be an opportunity to gain useful skills or improve your own skills.
In general, the card indicates that one should not give up in any situation, even the most hopeless one. You should not be led by your own emotions. It is better to demonstrate firmness of spirit, an iron character. This is the only way to achieve a positive result.
Money
Since ancient times, the 9 of Wands has been associated with material well-being. Even the most ambitious tasks will be achieved. All that remains is to reap the fruits of your hard work and enjoy life. However, modern interpretations look completely different:
- Litigation with creditors.
- An attempt to save one’s own property and material values by any means.
- Fighting extortionists and robbers. Tarot 9 of Wands in combination with other cards can indicate legal proceedings related to fraud or theft of funds.
- An attempt to restore previous prosperity, to get out of a crisis situation, to try to escape bankruptcy.
The most accurate interpretation of the Nine will depend on the cards that are in the layout with it. Do not panic, as the 9 of Wands is a symbol of perseverance and fortitude. Therefore, there will always be an opportunity to cope with troubles and emerge victorious from any situation.
Combination with the Major Arcana
The most accurate interpretation of Nines is obtained only taking into account all the Arcana that fell out in the layout. The same card can be interpreted differently. The 9 of Staves in combination with the Major Arcana offers a wider range of meanings and signs:
- With the Jester - the path you have chosen seems correct, but soon doubts will arise about the correctness of your choice. They will be the result of more careful analysis or criticism of others.
- With a Magician - to deceive an ill-wisher. All methods are good for waging war. But don't overdo it.
- With the High Priestess - someone will entrust you with a secret that you will have to keep.

- With the Emperor - in the near future the “honor of the uniform” will have to be defended.
- With the Hierophant - uncertainty in the mentor, skepticism towards his advice.

- With the Hermit - isolation, pleasure from loneliness.
- With the Wheel of Fortune, there are drastic changes ahead, which came very late.
- With Arkan Justice - legal proceedings will soon end, but will not bring satisfaction. Doubts will arise about the fairness of the judicial system.
- With the Hangman - continue to keep your secret.
- With Arcanum Death - uncertainty in actions that provoked dramatic changes.
- With the Moderation card - total doubts.
- With the Devil - the desire to find some kind of catch in everything.
- With the Tower - a bad feeling does not let you down. Something terrible is going to happen soon.
- With the Star - uncertainty in one’s own forecasts and plans.
- With the Moon - fear of catching something. It's not necessarily a disease. Perhaps you are afraid of adopting someone else's obsession.
- With the Sun - a complete lack of trust.
- With the Court, you need to analyze the experience gained so as not to step on the same rake in the future.
- With the World - we have to take a position of self-defense.
Combination with the Minor Arcana

- With Ace - the desire to move towards a set goal, to work for results.

Important!
If you get the 9 of Wands in a reading, there is no need to panic. Its meaning is multifaceted and ambiguous. Please remember that this is all just a warning. Perhaps, by looking into the future, you will be able to change something in the present, which will allow you to avoid unpleasant moments.
The Minor Arcana, which we will analyze today, is fairly simple to understand. The meaning of the 9 Wands of the Tarot, thanks to the excellent illustration in the Rider-Waite deck, is so obvious that it raises virtually no questions. It will be somewhat more difficult for tarot readers using non-classical decks to penetrate into the semantic field of the card, however, knowing the traditional interpretation, it is easy to master the modified, author’s vision of the Arcana.
General description of the Arcana, plot and meaning in the layout
First, let's look at the illustration. We see a young man who is clearly on duty. He leaned his elbows on his staff, which indicates quite a long time spent in one place. The young man is very similar to the sentry, but the only incomprehensible nuance of the drawing is his bandaged head. Perhaps this is an indication that he once had the opportunity to protect something protected. In general, we can say that the meaning of the Nine of Wands Tarot according to Rider-Waite is the desire to defend, defend, self-control, strict fulfillment of obligations, and the ability to cope with problems as they arise.
Keywords and ideas for the 9 Staves card
Since the image of the map is very unambiguous and does not raise controversial issues, the list of key expressions corresponding to it will also be quite specific:
- Willingness to protect, defend
- Endurance, durability
- Ability to control oneself, bear responsibility, and fulfill obligations
- Self-control
- Ability to withstand difficult situations
- Ability to master problem solving
Meaning of the card in the upright position
The meaning and interpretation of the Nine of Wands of the Tarot is very easy to deduce from the key expressions indicated above - they quite fully characterize the situations of this Minor Arcana. It only remains to add that sometimes under the card there is a theme of waiting and incompleteness. When a sentry is on duty, he waits not only for the end of the guard time, but also for some unforeseen events that may occur during his shift. We can read the incompleteness precisely from the young man’s bandaged head: we can assume that the people who attacked him for the first time may return and again try to take possession of what he is guarding. While we don't know for sure if they will try again, we must be prepared to fight back. Therefore, the state of the map is, first of all, combat readiness.
Meaning of the 9 of Wands in reversed position
The reverse meaning of the Nine of Wands Tarot is somewhat similar to the direct meaning, but the result is still negative. A person is defending something, but will not be able to defend his position - as a result, the object of protection will be taken away right from under his nose. We can say that this is a sentry who failed to cope with his direct responsibilities. The inverted Arcanum is not training combat readiness, but the most real thing: trouble really creeps up. Why can't the sentry fight back? Probably because he lacks some important personal qualities: perhaps he was inattentive, distracted at the wrong time, lost touch with reality, felt bad. You never know what else could happen! The result is important - the energy was wasted, but the matter did not end in his favor. Sometimes the so-called situations of “stepping on the same rake” occur along the reverse map.

The meaning of the Nine of Staves in readings for love and personal relationships
Now let's look at the meaning of the Nine of Wands of the Tarot in love. However, even a novice tarot reader can easily deduce it from the illustration of the card.
Straight position
The main meaning of the 9 Wands of the Tarot in relationships is a person’s ability to resist. But who exactly will be the enemy - his own partner or rival, public opinion? This must be judged by the cards surrounding the Arcana. Sometimes, along the Nine of Staves, there are situations of suspicion, foresight, internal unpreparedness for a relationship, when a person tries with all his might to resist the feelings that overwhelm him, remembering the painful experience of the past.
Inverted position
The reverse meaning of the Nine of Wands of the Tarot in relationships is a situation when something that a person carefully guarded was taken away from under the nose by someone. This happens when a partner suddenly leaves the family, although there was no crisis or open conflicts in the couple. Sometimes the culprit is hindsight, when a man, for example, relaxes, immerses himself in everyday life, stops showing signs of attention to a woman, thinking that now she will not get away from him. And she just finds someone else who gives gifts, takes her on dates, and gives compliments. Also, the inverted Nine of Staves is characterized by moments of open rivalry, which usually end not in favor of the questioner.
The meaning of the Arcana in health matters
How does the meaning of the Nine of Tarot Wands manifest itself in health? What will this card say?
Straight position
The Direct Arcana usually describes a situation of readiness to fight a disease. The map often shows moments when the doctor, for example, suspects a serious illness, but not all tests have yet been carried out and there is no final diagnosis. In this case, the person is mentally prepared for the worst, although in most cases the terrible diagnosis is not confirmed. Sometimes a card can mean a person who always guards his health, and sometimes even devotes too much of his time to it. Arcanum can also occur due to head injuries, concussions, overexertion, and chronic fatigue.
Inverted position
Weakened immunity, inability to cope with the disease, poor health.
The meaning of the card in fortune telling for personality analysis, psychological state
Let us consider in detail what the meaning of the 9 Staffs of the Tarot is when trying to describe with cards the personality, character of a person, his behavior, as well as his state of mind.
Straight position
This is a persistent, strong-willed, responsible and active person, ready to defend his views and interests, even if this means entering into open confrontation. On the psychological plane - inner determination, readiness to defend what belongs to him by right.
Inverted position
The reverse card will describe a person who, although he enters into a fight, does not have sufficient self-control or other qualities that would help him win. Arkan can also characterize a person who does not know how to learn from his own mistakes, which is why he repeats them over and over again throughout his life. In terms of psychology - overstrain, fatigue, retreat under the yoke of difficulties, circumstances, not the best moment to confront someone or something.
The meaning of the 9 of Wands when divining finances and professional activities
The meaning of the Nine of Wands Tarot in work can be deduced intuitively, based on the key words of the card, since there are no hidden nuances in this Minor Arcana. But, according to tradition, we’ll still talk a little more in detail.
Straight position
The natural position of the card speaks of high professional qualities that help to achieve success in work and preserve what has already been built, earned, and implemented. These are self-discipline, responsibility, the ability to plan things competently, the ability to protect one’s interests, and courage. The professions of the card are firefighters, police officers, emergency workers, security guards, dispatchers, ambulance and emergency workers - in a word, those people who are usually on duty 24 hours a day and are always in a state of “combat readiness.” This also includes sentries. On the financial plane - stable peace of mind.
Inverted position
The reverse card, on the contrary, reports a loss of professional skills, the inability to repel competitors and ill-wishers, troubles at work, emotional fatigue that does not allow one to perfectly fulfill one’s duties. On a financial plan, the card often shows a clash with creditors, attempts at extortion, financial deprivation due to loss of vigilance, inattention.
The meaning of the card in combination with the Major Arcana
Now let's analyze possible combinations of the Nine of Staves with the rest of the cards in the deck. First, let's look at the Major Arcana, since they most often describe more serious situations that require attention.
- : Be careless, act rashly, stupidly
- : Keep the situation under control

The meaning of the card when combined with the Minor Arcana

With the suit of Swords
Straight position
The Nine of Wands suggests that enormous opportunities are opening up for a person. He may suddenly realize that he is able to achieve much more than he had previously thought, and count on tangible results where before he could only dream (including in combination with the Magician). Emotionally, such an Arcanum symbolizes inspiration, healing of emotional wounds, and newfound trust (especially with the Hierophant).
The combination of the Nine of Wands with Justice is also interesting. It should be interpreted as a well-deserved success and a person’s awareness that he is ready to take responsibility.
Inverted position
In an inverted position, the Nine of Wands indicates significant difficulties, significant problems. Moreover, in the lion's share of cases, the reason is the fortuneteller himself, more precisely, his stubbornness, reluctance to analyze the circumstances and spoken words, inability to adapt to the situation.
In addition, such an Arcanum may indicate the concealment of important information. This may be concealing information from the fortuneteller or hiding it himself (for example, this is what the presence of the Priestess next to the Nine of Wands in the layout indicates). But in both cases it will work against him.
It is also worth paying attention to the Sun Arcanum appearing next to the inverted Nine of Wands. This combination denotes doubts about what is actually true. The combination of such a Nine with the Devil symbolizes obsessive suspicion.
Love and relationships
Straight position
For the personal sphere, this card is an indicator of stability and harmony in relationships with a loved one and loved ones. Moreover, we are not talking about calm in relationships, when a day is like a day, but an emotion is like an emotion. The Nine of Wands definitely contains vivid impressions, interesting contacts, and lively emotions. This is especially accurately described by the pair “Nine of Wands - Peace”.
But this same Arcanum can also be interpreted as desirable, positively perceived loneliness. Typically, this attitude is typical for the post-crisis period. That is, a person, for example, has experienced deception, betrayal, and conflict, and now he has long-awaited peace and a sense of security, confidence that everything is behind him. Such moods are very characteristically described by the combination of the Nine of Wands with the Two of Swords.
Inverted position
The reversed Nine of Wands should be interpreted as a quarrelsome character, an unwillingness to take initiative (which is especially bad for a man). In addition, such an Arcanum can mean an inability to understand people and, as a result, a connection with an unworthy person who has dubious personal qualities or life goals.
In certain situations, the Nine of Wands in reverse may indicate that a person has some kind of compromising secret (especially in combination with the Moon).
If in a scenario such a card fell together with the Jester, then it is interpreted as follows: “with him (or with her) you will live like on a volcano, not knowing today what will happen to you tomorrow.” And paired with the Court, the inverted Nine of Wands speaks of the inability to draw conclusions from one’s mistakes.
Career
Straight position
In career plans, the Nine of Wands should be interpreted as self-confidence and readiness to take on any complex project. This Arcanum symbolizes courage, which can help a person achieve great professional results and career heights. This card can also indicate responsibility in completing assigned tasks.
The combination of the Nine of Wands with the Empress speaks of obtaining significant results, and together with the Ace of Wands this Arcanum indicates the implementation of a very talented idea.
Inverted position
Inverted, the Nine of Wands “loses” initiative and sociability. If such an Arcanum characterizes a person, then he can be described as stubborn, directing his efforts in the wrong direction, and sometimes even becoming involved in an adventure.
In addition, the reversed Nine of Wands also means an unpreparedness for innovative methods in work, and sometimes a general reluctance to make any changes in work responsibilities (in the direction of activity, etc.)
Together with the Jester, such a card should be perceived as meaningless stubbornness, and with the Magician - that someone is taking advantage of the fortuneteller’s stubbornness. With the Seven of Coins, the inverted Nine of Wands denotes a high probability of unsuccessful investments due to one’s own fault, and with the Ace of Swords - the conviction of one’s own infallibility and fatal mistakes, miscalculations, and failures associated with this.
You definitely have some doubts. Perhaps the task ahead of you is too difficult or you are not confident in your abilities... That’s all true, but now is precisely the very successful and super-appropriate moment when you are able to solve even the most time-consuming or extremely difficult problems. Your potential is enough for this. So, take action and achieve success!

Short description
It is unknown what made Pamela Smith draw the guy on the nine of staves with a bandaged head. The wound on the head does not follow directly from the meanings proposed by Waite.
Waite writes: “the man leans on his staff as if awaiting an enemy.” But it seems to me that this is the standard pose of a spearman standing on guard for a long time.
Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin in the book "Secrets of the Waite-Smith Tarot" cite Smith's work "Jack and the King" from the book "By the Fireplace" without any additional explanation, hinting at a connection between the two drawings. For me, such a parallel is not obvious.
Keywords

- Defense

Key Ideas
- Feeling of danger after a battle has already ended

Basic meaning
According to Rider-Waite, the meaning and interpretation of card 9 (Nine) of the Staff (Wands, Maces) of the Tarot speaks of strength and confrontation. The character of the card, according to Waite, is able to cope with any opponent. For a reversed card, Waite gives the following meanings - opposition, disaster, difficult situation.
The modern meaning of the card is played primarily by the fence of eight wands, which we see behind the character’s back. The fence acts as a boundary separating “ours” from “not ours”, “internal” from “external”. And “ours” needs protection. Hence the meanings - traditions, one’s own business, restrictions.
But, since it is behind the back, themes of the past arise in the map, and the past is a priori better than the present. The hero of the card looks at the present with caution and does not expect anything good from him.
Video: The meaning of the Nine of Wands card
Meaning in relationships
Open-hole card
This is a hole card. Moreover, the character of the card clearly and unequivocally demonstrates his reluctance to enter into any relationships with people “from the outside.”
The card can directly advise a person to refrain from expanding the number of contacts, from relationships with new people, and even more so from getting closer to them.
Relationship intensity
Although a person strives to reduce the process of communication to zero, the intensity of his internal experiences is very high. He intends to protect himself, his and his friends from external aggression, obvious or imaginary. And this forces him to be as tense and focused as possible.
Relationship scenario: love, family, relatives, work
In love, family and family relationships, two scenarios are played out: “to protect others” and “to protect oneself.”
The first scenario plays out like this: I want to protect my children from contact with this dirty world. In the second scenario, the meaning of 9 (Nine) of Tarot Wands in relationships and love is played out in this way: the girl’s phrase “I love you so much” gives rise to suspicions that she is targeting my finances or my apartment.
This map shows a very strong division between “ours” and “not ours”. This is a very natural, but unconstructive division. A watershed can run right through a family, for example between two brothers. There is no direct and obvious conflict, but there is also no desire for friendly contacts.
In working relationships, a person in the Nine of Staffs does not strive to become part of the team.
However, it should be remembered that the card may indicate the winning nature of just such a strategy.
In combination with the Major Arcana
- in combination with card: The burden and loneliness of power
- in combination with the card: Great psychological fatigue and loneliness
- in combination with the card: Don’t be careful, but disaster can’t be avoided
Psychological condition
A person draws a sharp line, separating the external and internal. And the external is perceived exclusively as a threat. Strangers are dangerous. Often the significance of the threat is exaggerated.
Internal can relate to both the internal state of a person and the internal circle of communication. If we are talking about a state, then a person consciously does everything not to see, not to hear, not to react to information coming from the outside. We have our own, and we don’t need someone else’s. Often, the Nine of Staves hides inertia, retrogradeness and conservatism. But sometimes the external really poses a threat, and the strategy of the Nine of Staves becomes the only correct and possible one.
In combination with the suit of Wands
- in combination with the card: Don't tell anyone about your plans
- in combination with the card: Prolonged wait for an attack
- in combination with the card: Long difficult period
Importance in health matters
The meaning of the Nine of Wands Tarot in health can be read literally - head injury.
The card speaks of a difficult but not threatening situation. It is very important to focus on treatment, adherence to the regimen, following the doctor’s instructions and not be distracted by anything else.
In combination with the suit of Cups
- in combination with the card: You can’t hide from grievances
- in combination with the card: Stay away from your "friends"
- in combination with the card: External gloominess hides a vulnerable soul
Business and finance, professional activities
Stability, controllability, controllability
The meaning of the Nine of Wands of the Tarot in work is interpreted in this way: the main task of a person is to keep the situation within certain limits. We can say that it is stable, but to remain in balance, constant control over all, even minor changes is needed. The map is dynamic, and as long as everything is under control, you move forward. Card of a tightrope walker and cyclist. I stopped, lost control and fell.
Ways to Increase Income (Key to Increasing Income)
A very slow card, the period of financial difficulties can be long.
We are talking about a situation where material resources are clearly not being spent, but are not coming either. There is the main core of finance and the income and expenditure part, which we can neither reduce nor increase.
It is necessary to increase control over the expenditure of funds so that it does not exceed the income portion.
One of the ways to achieve this goal is not to spend money on other people’s problems, and the second is not to buy just anything that is not necessary. For example, go shopping with a list and on a full stomach.
At the company level - despite the difficulties, keep the brand in front of the client. Nobody is interested in our problems; the overall impression should remain favorable.
General state of finances and trends of changes
The condition is financially and psychologically difficult; aggravated by internal tension, the need to constantly solve new problems that grow like a snowball. Patching holes, lack of prospects for making a profit. The trends are unfavorable: deterioration is more than possible, but there is no point in hoping for improvement.
Positive and negative impact of the card on income
An extremely unfavorable situation. There may be a reduction in the resource base, unforeseen expenses, and dependence on worsening external circumstances.
There is no positive impact on income, despite the advice to pay bills on time and maintain scrupulous control over the expenditure of funds.
In combination with the suit of Swords
- in combination with the card: Travel alone
- in combination with the card: Terrible mental state, and nowhere to wait for help
- in combination with the card: Your paranoia is justified
Don't meddle in other people's business
Card of the day Caution
Don't let strangers into your world
In combination with the suit of Pentacles
- in combination with a card: Spend what you receive on yourself
- in combination with the card: When working in a team, do not try to get close to others
- in combination with the card: Work on your own skills
Questions to ask when drawing a card?
- Who are you protecting your world from?
- How real are the threats you are going to protect against?
- Which things do you consider to be yours and which ones don’t? And why?
- Do your loved ones really need your protection?

General meaning and interpretation of the Tarot card NINE OF WANDS in fortune telling and layouts
Direct position of the NINE OF WANDS card
