Nine of Swords

The Nine of Swords depicts a woman sitting on her bed, holding her face in her hands. She seems to have just woken up from a terrible nightmare. She appears distressed, anxious, and fearful. Nine swords hang on the wall above her bed, and a carving depicting one person being defeated by another can be seen on the bed. The quilt is decorated with various astrological symbols and roses. Here, we see the same woman previously seen in the Eight of Swords - perhaps she has finally been released, but is now haunted by the painful nightmares of being abandoned and rejected.
