Nine of Swords

Upright

You go beyond familiar thinking. The search for something greater calls you to where the answers no longer fit into the old categories. From this height the whole picture is visible, and you can look at yourself as if from the outside — from a meta-position. Don't fear the height: it gives a rare clarity.

Reversed

Your mind wanders through night-time anxieties, and instead of lifting you above the situation, your thoughts drag you down. The search for something greater turns into sleepless thinking. The process is stuck: sometimes the best way to go beyond is simply to let the thought go until morning.
