The Minor Arcana

Nine of Swords

Minor Arcana · Swords (Air)

A card of the suit of Air — worry, compassion, and the coming dawn.

The Nine of Swords is night-time worry: the anxious mind that makes troubles loom far larger than daylight would allow. It reads as a compassionate reminder that fear is a feeling to hold gently, not a fact to believe.
