A Tarot card showing the Nine of Wands represents confliction. The pictures reflect conflicting issues, both materially and emotionally.

One thing strikes me, while looking at this card. Whether you are an established Tarot reader who uses the gift of clairvoyance, as I do, or whether you are psychic or not, there is no doubt what this man is portraying. The man shows to the reader that he likes being on his own or chooses to be a loner.

There is nothing wrong with being alone but I believe that this card means the person in question, who has asked for the reading, has to make a decision in relation to the particular situation they are worried about.

If you are reading these comments and you have not seen this particular card before, it portrays a person standing alone with the ragged attire that represents a farmer or a land worker.

You as an onlooker would assume he has had a pretty bad time with his head all bandaged up and being held up with one of the wands he holds in his hand.

When you look through the deck at the set of wands in the Tarot cards it becomes apparent that from the Ace to Nine, most of the characters stand alone or portray to all a sense of isolation.

The Nine of Wands represents this person as one who either prefers to be left in isolation or needs to make up their minds to be more positive and move forward in life and to reach out and embrace others.

Depending on the cards placed at both sides of the Nine of Wands card, the choices are usually apparent: the recipient has to take charge, make a decision to move on and attempt to be more sociable.
