Upright meaning

Nine swords hang on the wall, and a person covers their face with a pillow. This is a situation of repetitive worry and anxiety at night. Most of it is fear of things that have not happened yet.

Reversed meaning

Your worries are gradually settling down. Thoughts that wander through the night often feel half as heavy by morning.

In the past, present and future positions

When you draw three cards and read them as past, present and future, this card reads like this in each position.

Upright

Past — In the past, the weight of life felt too heavy. You could not rest comfortably because of repeating worries. That anxiety took away your vitality for life.

Present — Now, you are in a state of being trapped in repeating worries every night. You are fearing things that have not happened yet and covering your face with a pillow. An effort to break down the walls of your heart is necessary.

Future — From here on, the anxiety weighing on your heart will clear. You will learn that the things you feared do not actually happen. You must escape the darkness of the night and welcome a bright morning.

Reversed

Past — In the past, your heart was heavy because of worries that troubled your life. You suffered because of thoughts that did not leave your head every night. That anxious heart interfered with the overall flow of your life.

Present — Now, you are in a state where worries are gradually settling down. You feel the thoughts wandering at night decreasing bit by bit. You should focus on finding mental stability without rushing.

Future — From here on, things will move in a direction where the things you worried about are gradually resolved. When morning comes, the thoughts spinning all night will be cut in half. You should maintain a calm mind and organize your daily life.

As your card of the day

Upright — Today, it would be good to write down the worries you might have at night in the morning. Worries written on paper often feel only half as heavy as the ones spinning in your head.

Reversed — It is better to reduce the use of the word 'what if' today. If you think about things that haven't happened more than three times, reality may begin to lean in that direction.
