What does the Nine of Wands reversed mean?

The reversed Nine of Wands has long been considered a bad omen. It is a card of at least obstacles and delays, problems and troubles, in the worst case - failure, loss, and disasters. What a person carefully defends in the upright card is stolen right from under their nose in the reversed one. It also represents problems that arise overnight. It is also a card that says experience teaches nothing - a person steps on the same rake again and again, which has already hit them on the bandaged forehead once.

What does the Nine of Wands mean for career?

Smart planning of activities, high self-discipline, the ability to cope with difficulties and problems, and again - courage under fire. A job well done, successfully completed tasks (We did it!). Fatigue while being ready to keep fighting and defending - the situation is almost complete, but not quite, so the card can be defined as a test of endurance. It is known that the closer to the goal, the stronger the resistance, and the darkest hour is just before the dawn. The old interpretation is a short break in an ongoing struggle.
