Nine of Swords

Element: Air

---

Upright: Nightmares, insomnia, despair, pain and fear caused by harm to oneself or others, lacking the courage to face challenges, feeling trapped with no way out, empathizing deeply with others’ suffering and carrying their pain as one’s own.

Reversed: Remaining open-minded amid suffering, seeing hope and a way out, or becoming overly sensitive, suspicious of others, and trapped in oppressive emotions.

Card Description: At midnight, a cloud girl wakes abruptly from a nightmare, burying her face in her hands in agony. Nine Cloud Swords hang horizontally on the wall behind her, visually aligned as if piercing through her body, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure and despair.
