Nine of Wands from the Rider–Waite tarot deck

The Nine of Wands is a Minor Arcana tarot card.

Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.[1] In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[1][2]

Divinatory purposes

This card depicts a figure, weary from battle yet prepared to fight on. Order, discipline and an unassailable position. Any opposition will be defeated. Courage in the face of attack or adversity and a stability that cannot be removed. Good health.

Dignified or reversed – Lack or inability to give and take. Projects pursued that are destined to fail because of their impractical nature. Delays and disarray.
