nine of wands

A hooded figure stands behind a low brick wall, holding a flaming torch aloft in front of their face. The sky is stormy, the scene tense but unyielding.

⬆️ Upright

You're not finished yet, but you're close. The Nine of Wands appears when you’ve come too far to back down. You may feel bruised, exhausted, paranoid. But you're still standing, still burning. And that matters.

⬇️ Reversed

The wall you built to protect yourself may now be holding you back. When reversed, this card warns of burnout, bitterness, or fighting battles that no longer need to be fought.

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
