Tell My Tarot
When you get the Nine of Wands in your reading, you may need to accept the fact that you’re in for a tough struggle. You may have been part of plenty of long fights, like the bandaged figure on the card suggests, but it may not necessarily be time to rest and relax just yet. What’s at stake may be something that is near and dear to your heart, like an innovative business idea or a project you’re heading, which relates to the creativity symbols of the wands.
What you need to do is stay strong and focused during this tough time, so you come out on top. You may encounter adversaries more often, so be on the defense to get what you want. Figure out what your support system can do for you during this time period.
Once your fight is over, then it’s time to make a plan for your next step. Avoid dwelling on the situation if you aren’t happy about the outcome, and make amends with those who opposed you once it’s all over.

Interpretation
The Nine of Wands urges you to continue your efforts, even when the situation already seems lost. You love life and all its small pleasures; you know what your objectives are, and you have always worked optimistically and determinedly towards them. In recent times, however, a wave of desperation has taken hold of you. The reason is simple: you can't see the end of the tunnel and all the effort you have put in for months now seems totally fruitless at the moment.
Don't let yourself be overwhelmed by these negative emotions. Your temperance is one of your greatest strengths and in the past you have overcome much greater difficulties than those facing you today. Consider any setbacks as the last hurdle to leap over before your efforts are successful. Behind the dune in the distance, hides a source of water. A symbol of hope, the Nine of Wands encourages you to continue your journey. You will soon arrive at your destination.
