Deck Creator’s Keywords: nightmares, anguish, anxious thoughts, worries.
A very dark card, Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot reveals the deepest place where darkness resides within you. The card points to insomnia, nightmares, and worries that occur in the middle of the night. Often these conditions are accompanied by guilt, despair, or even depression. You will have to fight with yourself, so seek help from others. Find joy. Let’s reach out.
A messy bunch of horrible and gross confusion dominates this card. It is hard to discern exactly what you are looking at. The eyeballs, without a cavity, are looking lifeless. Maggots and worms wriggle and grasp everything around. And is the central object a horn, jowl, or something completely different? Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot depicts horror, fear, and internal turmoil. If you can untangle your thoughts enough to calmly assess the situation, things will not seem so terrible. But as it is, everything is a monochromatic and chaotic mess.
Considering the chaos in this picture, it is interesting that the nine swords are actually arranged in an orderly manner. Consider whether you can fuel your nightmares by feeding on unnecessary worries. The human brain is inherently focused on perceived threats, but most of the horrors you imagine will never materialize. However, the power of your mind is very intense. When you get carried away with anxious thoughts, you may start to believe that everything is a disaster out of control. You assume your perceived anguish is the reality of the situation. While it is undeniable that ugliness is a part of life, it’s important to discern how you can amplify that ugliness by shutting yourself in your mental cave.
If you find yourself mired in Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot’s energy, be gentle with yourself. Fear is part of being human. You can do something to rewire your mental energy in any way that works for you: meditation, talking to a trusted friend or therapist, and journaling. Those are just a few of the ways to help to remove this heavy mental energy.
II. The message of Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot in a reading
Many decks, such as the Waite-Smith Tarot, show a person in a dark room, sitting on a bed and covering the face. Nine swords hover overhead in the darkness, evoking the powerful weight of anxious thoughts. In a paradoxical way, this card can bring some comfort because it validates the fear that all humans have to experience. Especially when some of us in the spiritual world want to “just think positively”, Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot shows that this is not always beneficial and even not always possible.
That said, it is one thing to confirm your fear and it is another to assume it is warranted. Look for small ways that you can start to change your perspective. Simply affirming yourself that you are open to a broader story than one that is weighed down by fear is an effective first step.
In a reading, Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot may represent your need to loosen the grip of your worries, guilt, and negative assumptions. Remember to breathe! Things were not as bad as they thought. You may really be facing struggles, but remember that you don’t have to be a prisoner of your own mind. Remember that no matter how bad things seem, the wildness of your thoughts can only make them worse.
Step back, calm down, and look at the big picture. Be kind to yourself and trust that you’re doing the best you can. Remind yourself that this too will pass. Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot also represents anxiety. When you receive this card, you will have to go through a difficult and emotionally painful time. Don’t worry too much because these are inevitable in life, prepare mentally to face bad situations that will happen.
III. Meaning of Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot in the upright position
Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot is a card of fear, nightmares, and negativity. However, the troubles alluded to in the Nine of Swords are primarily of a psychological nature and do not necessarily indicate suffering in your outer reality. It is what is inside your mind created by fear and anxiety and is unrelated to your actual circumstances. Your experience of the world has been greatly influenced by your expectations, desires, and fears. Therefore, you create your own world, and your attitude determines how you experience it.
Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot also reflects fear of the future or what might possibly happen in the future. If you allow yourself to be bound by your fear of destiny, you run the risk of creating a negative reality for yourself when you are fully convinced of that fear. Your nightmare becomes your prophecy, and clearly not the desired outcome. Overall, this card is a sign that you are worrying too much about a situation. You are always tossing and turning at night because you are very worried about a particular problem.
Maybe you are overdoing things, and if you look at the situation more objectively, you may find that things are not as bad as you thought they were. In fact, worry and frustration are what make things worse. So instead of fretting about it, try to change it. Although most people feel fear, frustration, and uncertainty at some point in their lives, you should not allow negative emotions to prevent you from pursuing your goals with enthusiasm and hope. Always anticipate future difficulties and wield the inner strength to adapt to the worst possible situations.
Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot can also indicate that you are being harsh with yourself, blaming yourself, and getting angry when you think you made all the mistakes that led to failure. So when the Nine of Swords comes up in a reading, ask yourself why are you being so hard on yourself, how to relax, or what is the source of your depression? What can you do to feel better? Make an effort to get rid of your self-blame and move on.
Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot suggests that dark thoughts and disturbing feelings are weighing on you (and keeping you up at night). You are worrying excessively about a situation and your negative thoughts are getting more apparent, causing you stress and anxiety. The more you associate with your fears, the more they will dominate your life. When you obsess over what is not working, you will be worrying more. It becomes a negative cycle where one bad thought leads to another until they totally overwhelm you. Just as nine swords are stacked in the background, so are your negative thoughts.
Be careful because the fear and anxiety in Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you obsess over what might happen, you are more likely to manifest your worst-case scenario because you are unwittingly acting in ways that support your negative thoughts. For example, you may worry that your partner will cheat on you, even though you find no signs of infidelity. The more stressed you are about this potential outcome, the more your anxiety pushes your partner away, until one day he/she feels so disconnected from you that he/she starts a new relationship with someone else. When you repeat negative thoughts in your mind over and over, you run the risk of manifesting them in your life. So the Nine of Swords asks you to break the cycle. Every time a negative emotion comes up, replace it with a positive one.
Nine of Swords Wild Unknown Tarot also reminds you that much of the fear and anxiety you are experiencing is in your head and not necessarily an accurate reflection of what is happening around you. You can make things worse for yourself by overthinking or obsessing about worst-case scenarios. It is time to look at your situation from a new angle. Instead of looking for evidence of what is going wrong, focus on what is going right. Take a deep breath and realize that life is not as scary as you think and the more you worry, the more you harm yourself.
