Surviving to fight another day

Nine of Wands

Throughout this endeavor you have made dramatic leaps and bounds. Through overcoming adversity, you claimed your territory and status. All that you have obtained is on the line, and so is your name. There will never be a lack of envious people who want all that you have and will try to take it from you either by deception or replication.

Everything you need to win this war is inside of you, just like every other war you’ve won before. This could be the last one, but remember conflict only comes when you don’t prepare for it. How long will you be on guard, and at what cost are your defenses up? While this could be the last stand you take, and it seems to indicate that it the case, do you have the perseverance to survive another?

Yield all the courage you have and look in the face of the demons coming out of the wood work. You have this, everyone’s counting on you.

This is a state of mind you are familiar with. It’s nothing new to be faced with opposition, controversy. If you didn’t have to fight at every turn you might feel like things were out of place, maybe a little paranoid.

This is survival mode. Wave after wave of opposition have challenged you to rise to this new height. Tired, war torn, and a little shell-shocked, it amazes you can focus on your objective. You know that you’ve come too far to give up. There have been far bigger trials you have faced in this life, than this one.

This card comes up when you’re not sure that you have it in you to keep going. There is something you’re not sure you can handle. Let this be your sign that you can; and will. There is so much more you have survived, and the battle will allow you to survive so much more.

Nine of Wands Reversed

Your level of perseverance is borderline sickening. Everyone around you is begging you to stay down, slow down. What ever train you’re on, you’rec completely derailing.

There is overcoming obstacles, and there is refusing to give up a gun. This has proven to be a fruitless battle. It seems like you’ve been spinning your wheels for a long time now, barely scraping by but somehow always pulling it off.

This one is not looking too good for you. No one is asking you to yield because they want to watch you fail, they are asking you to surrender so that the entire Kingdom isn’t leveled.

You may not have won the battle, but with tact and strength– there is still a war to win. Take stock and look for your Trojan Horse.
