Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Nine of Swords
Upright
Anxiety, worry, fear, depression, nightmares
The Nine of Swords hints that clouded thoughts and unpleasant feelings are pulling you down (and keeping you awake at night). You are suffering extremely about a situation, and your pessimistic feelings are getting the better of you, making you very anxious. The more you connect with your worries, the more they will control your life. It becomes a circle where one terrible thought leads to another until they defeat you. Just as the nine swords are piled upon each other on the wall, so too are your pessimistic thoughts.
Be cautious because the anxiety in the Nine of Swords can grow a self-fulfilling process. As you obsess over what may go incorrect, you are more likely to make your worst-case scenario true because you are involuntarily behaving in ways that help your negative beliefs. So, the Nine of Swords invites you to break the loop. Every time a negative thought shows up, replace it with a good one.
The Nine of Swords warns you that much of the anxiety you are encountering is in your head and not certainly an exact representation of what is occurring. You may make things more hurtful for yourself by obsessing over the worst scenarios.
The Nine of Swords often shows up when trouble, hopelessness, and anxiety are quite actually keeping you up at night. You may not be sleeping properly, or you are experiencing regular nightmares. Your persistent thoughts are stopping you from relaxing. Other people may help you to see the positive perspectives and guide you towards a resolution. You are not able to see at your situation clearly, as you are surrounded by negative thoughts, so having an objective viewpoint will encourage you to find your way out.
Reversed
Inner turmoil, deep-seated fears, secrets, releasing worry
The reversed Nine of Swords notes that you are undergoing deep inner confusion as a consequence of your mindset. Your negative thoughts are taking you in a loop of hopelessness and anxiety that opposes reality; you are getting things to feel much worse than they really are.
The reversed Nine of Swords shows up when you are grasped by fear. You are allowing your fears to prevent your whole potential and it is removing you of your life energy.
On a more positive sign, the Nine of Swords can come up reversed when you have already worked through this phase of depression and are recovering. You may have come to the understanding that things are not as critical as you thought them to be, and you are starting to rest and calm yourself about what was once a horrible condition.
Knight of Pentacles
Upright
Hard work, productivity, routine, conservatism
The Knight of Pentacles signifies effort and commitment that comes after the new ideas of the Page. This Knight is the most systematic and diligent nature of the deck. Maybe he is not the most creative Knight among the others, but even if his job is extremely monotonous he’ll do it to acquire the outcomes.
This card indicates that you are striving towards your aims. You have created a plan and are holding to it to get the work completed. You may not work especially fast, but you are working consistently. This card also invites you to maintain doing what you are doing and making regular growth.
The Knight of Pentacles notes that you are a real planner and executer. You visualize your purpose, decide the best plan of work, and then attach to your route with a constant focus. Careful in your program, you be certain that everything is designed and completed.
In some cases, the Knight of Pentacles card shows the more ordinary aspects of life – the daily work, monotonous programs, house duties, and other commitments. You may have a task to do, and you will have to invest your energy to see that work done to the end.
The Knight of Pentacles implies that you have a managed and traditional insight to life right now, and you are holding to your old methods of doing things. You have discovered that you need thorough preparation if you are to reach your goals. It may not certainly be an interesting time, but you know you are on the correct path.
Reversed
Self-discipline, boredom, feeling ‘stuck’, perfectionism
The reversed Knight of Pentacles urges you to set a program for yourself and attach to it, instead of seeking new ideas.
The reversed Knight of Pentacles may also indicate the self-improvement, in which constant activities will boost your progress. Ordinary duties related to home, career or other daily tasks have been left aside because now you concentrate on more interesting or major possibilities.
Or you have become highly traditionalist and repellent to develop. Try to be exposed to new adventures.
The reversed Knight of Pentacles can also suggest that you are an idealist in your strategy to work. Are being overly judgmental of other people or instantly disappointed when their work is not at an equal quality like yours?
