Nine of Wands
Nine of Wands — the suit of fire, of will and enterprise.
The figure leans upon his staff and has an expectant look, as if awaiting an enemy. Behind are eight other staves--erect, in orderly disposition, like a palisade.
Divinatory meaning
The card signifies strength in opposition. If attacked, the person will meet an onslaught boldly; and his build shows that he may prove a formidable antagonist. With this main significance there are all its possible adjuncts--delay, suspension, adjournment.
Reversed
Obstacles, adversity, calamity. [Illustration]
