The traditional Rider Waite depiction of the Nine of Swords card features a scene of intense mental anguish and worry. The card often shows a figure sitting up in bed, covering their face with their hands. Above them, there are nine swords hanging on the wall, and a dark, oppressive atmosphere surrounds the scene. The person appears distressed, and the imagery conveys a sense of inner turmoil, anxiety, and nightmares. The Nine of Swords is associated with themes of anxiety, fear, and mental distress. It suggests a period of intense worry and negative thoughts that may be keeping the individual awake at night. The swords symbolize the mental burdens and self-imposed mental anguish that the person is experiencing.
In the Mystic Monday’s Tarot deck, the Nine of Swords card is depicted as a younger female with red orange hair, sitting down and hugging her knees to comfort or protect herself. Surrounding her head are nine swords pointing at her head. The night sky surrounds her, so it can indicate these worrisome thoughts occur during the night time. In the background are two hills illuminated in red. On the ground below her, the ground indicates shadows to be dealt with.
