Nine of Wands

A bandaged figure leans on one wand, eight planted in the ground behind. The Nine of Wands is the last-stretch card — you have been at this a long time, you are tired, and the finish is almost in sight. The card honours the grit of one more round.

Exhaustion tipping into collapse; refusing the last stretch; or putting the wand down for good.

Past: a long, exhausting battle. Present: one more round; you are nearly there. Future: a hard-won completion. In relationships: a love tested by endurance. As a yes/no: yes, if you can stay one more round.
