Nine of Wands represents inner strength, persistence, completion, and resilience.
An injured man is leaning on a wand, while looking at the other eight wands. This card says there is no room for failure. You cannot surrender or backtrack after all you have done to arrive in this place. You need to soldier on, dig deeper into yourself to find some form of vitality and continue.
This may be your last venture, allowing you to complete what you have begun. Whatever you have put your strength and energy into making genuine will come to pass.
The Nine of Wands is a bittersweet discovery in your spread, as it suggests both struggles ahead and the persistence necessary to bring them to completion. Your life is probably comfortable at the moment, but there are also likely signs of trouble in some of the less critical aspects of your personal or professional life. Your inner strength and resilience will be called upon to maintain the current situation, and then to move forward when progress becomes possible for you.
