The Nine of Swords has shown up to remind you that how you treat yourself makes a big difference in how you experience the world:
You’ve faced a big loss over the last year and you haven’t processed it yet. You may think that you’ve treated yourself well or that you took the time you needed to get over what happened, but you haven’t. The truth is the Nine of Swords would not have shown up if you gave yourself the right treatment.
It’s time to take a breather and treat yourself right. With the right treatment, you’ll be much happier in the long run. Right now you’re just running on fumes. You’re close to tears more than half the time. You aren’t close to being as good as you can be. So give yourself a break.
Nine cards are all about looking at how far you’ve come, but the Nine of Swords is more about letting go of all the baggage you’re still carrying from your journey. Swords are quite sharp and if the message from this card is cutting too deep into your soul it means you’re still carrying too much pain and sadness from your past. It’s time to let go of all that.
Your soul needs a break right now. If you can book yourself in for some sleep therapy now is the time to do it. But any kind of treatment will be good for you right now - even if it’s just a nice self-care day at home. You need time off to rest and recuperate. Your soul is telling you that you don’t have the energy you need to get through.
Maybe you faced a major trauma in the last while. Maybe you were sick and you haven’t gotten over it completely. Whatever it is there’s something out of place with your energy levels and it’s making life very difficult for you.
Nine energy is all about seeing the bigger picture and letting go of the past. So if trauma was the reason you’re feeling under the weather right now it’s definitely a good idea to listen to your soul and take some time off. You can’t keep running on empty. All that’s going to do is wear your body down too. When we’re stressed out we can’t digest our food properly and we lose out on a lot of valuable vitamins and things that keep us healthy.
If you’ve been sick recently you should know that it’s probably a cry for help from your soul. You need to slow down and make time for the little things in life before you get even sicker. It’s all about keeping things in balance and treating yourself right all the time. It might sound like a difficult thing to do, but in the end, it’s completely worth it.
Life is as chaotic as ever. We’re all running on fumes thanks to the pandemic that just keeps going and going. You’d think that they’d put an end to it by now, but with modern medicine, we’re all being overloaded with information about how bad things still are. But when was the last time you took a look outside to see how bad the pandemic really is. Are there beds full of people looking for covid treatment? Or are things pretty much back to the way they were before the pandemic?
The truth is the media likes making a big deal out of almost nothing. Sure, there are still strains of Covid floating around and people are still seeking treatment. But for the most part, everyone is quite healthy - except we’re all getting sick and tired of Covid.
It’s time to take a breather from the pandemic and think about what you really want to spend your time on. Do you want to spend your time worrying about who’s vaccinated and who isn’t? Do you want to spend your time worrying about toilet paper and other essentials? Or is it time to shake off those bad vibes and look at the world through new eyes? The truth is the world has moved on, and so should you! Worrying about everything else is only going to make you more sick and tired of life. So it’s time to get over the trauma that was the pandemic and start living life again.
