Nine of Swords
Yesterday we had the Nine of Blades, and here it is again as the Nine of Swords. Are we struggling to remain calm and serene? Are we letting anxiety take control? If you’re struggling to come to terms with something unwelcome this card is here again to remind you that it’s no good obsessing over it. You need to find a way to let it go. Don’t blow a problem up out of all proportion. A shift in perspective may help you see that things are not as bad as they seem, and that this difficult phase will soon come to an end. Having a pessimistic mind-set only deepens anxiety and stress and may lead to depression. Have faith and trust in yourself that you can overcome your fears. Focus on your health and wellbeing. Find time for relaxation and doing something you enjoy to help lift your mood and change your outlook.
“Don't let things get out of proportion.”
“What thought keeps returning — and what is it telling me?”
