9 OF SWORDS — Compassion for the Mind

This card reflects anxiety, worry, and mental overactivity, especially at night. The mind may be running worst-case scenarios on repeat. The pain feels real, even if the fear is not fully grounded in reality. You’re being invited to soothe, not shame, your worried self.

“I comfort my mind with compassion and gentle truth.”
