9 of Swords


When this card appears in a reading, typically it's associated with self doubt, worry, self-delusion, agony, denial, insomnia, becoming aware of the situation.

The bed is where we relax and many times the hidden things in the back of our brains come to the forefront in dreams, like the carved image under the bed.  The image shows a dominant person with a stick of some kind lurching forward on an unarmed victim, sometimes this is how our brain works during the night, replaying over and over ad nauseum all of the decisions, the words, the situations that we unpleasant and exercised poor judgement, or said hurtful things.

The black or the dark is symbolic of the unknown while the cover represents security.  The images on the cover are interesting - there are flowers, representing beauty and growth along with symbols of the Zodiac, which to me, represents faith in the stars or wishing upon a start.  Yet even in faith, our faith can be shaken.
