Nine of Wands Upright

Your resilience is being tested. Maybe you are tired of fighting, but you are so close to achieving your goal— don’t give up! You should, however, take the prospect of burnout seriously. Taking time to rest is not the same as giving up, and will only help you achieve your goals in the long run. You do have support available to you, so don’t be afraid to ask for help either. 

Nine of Wands Reversed

You have overcome some challenges but you’re not out of the woods yet. You may feel a need to protect what you’ve acquired so far, to the detriment of planning out your next steps. While it is important to set up and defend boundaries, you don’t want to shut everyone out. Extend a bit of trust and ask your community for help.
