Nine of Wands

It loves playing with its ball of yarn, but with one careless moment it ended up tangling itself. This feeling is extremely frustrating. Now it does not know what to do. All it can do is struggle while hoping someone will come help. It seems nearly impossible for it to untangle everything on its own.
Most cats dislike the feeling of being restrained because it makes them feel unsafe. The little kitten lies on its back, perhaps struggling or seeking help. While getting itself tangled, it had no sense of danger. It might have thought it was fun or enjoyable, only to realize too late that it could no longer escape. Getting out of this mess requires someone to guide it; on its own, it is difficult to see the root of the problem. Each strand of yarn must be cleared away little by little in order to break free from the situation.



UPRIGHT

Long waiting, sinking deeper, stalemate, poor environment, holding on painfully, habitual patterns, blurred boundaries, forgetting past pain once healed.

REVERSED

Stubbornness, injury, excessive fixation, confusion, solutions available, relaxing appropriately, learning flexibility, letting go first.
