Synopsis

The Nines are accomplishment, the fulfillment of a journey. It is the third of the three triads (3, 6, 9). The Threes prepare for the journey; the Sixes are a peak experience during the journey; the Nines are the sense of being whole with completion. On the Tree of Life, the Nines are associated with the Sefirot Yesod, "Foundation". This is the realm of realization and the imaginal, the land of dreams that we draw upon to make manifest in the material world. The Nines when brought together are pure magic.

Swords

Mars in Gemini

The Nine of Swords can be challenging in that this can point to an overly analytical situation, losing a sense of direction in too many thoughts, or becoming lost in our fears--a nightmare, as suggested in the Waite-Smith card. The way through is with intent, focus, and dedication--one-pointed attention and meditation.
