THE 9 OF SWORDS:

Honestly admit to yourself that you have sacrificed time and energy on a situation that simply does not work.

The Nine of Swords in the advice position advises you to confront your fear of being alone and acknowledge the different limits you may have put on yourself because of that fear. In the name of being safe, you may have adhered to lower standards than you are capable of achieving. If so, then you may have resisted striking out on your own. Perhaps you have bargained away creativity and joy in order to avoid being challenged. These kinds of trade-offs never work.

This could be a time to cut your losses. If so, recognize how much time and energy you have sacrificed to a way of being that’s not right for you. If you can do this you will look back at this time in your life as a turning point. This may be an opportunity to heal as you shed a heavy burden that weighs you down.

I hope you enjoyed this!
