Nine of Swords (Spades)
The Nine of Swords is a difficult card to look at. It is obvious that the man has conquered the woman, but has he? Look closely in her hand, as she lies turning her back to him, she shows us that she is not without power in this situation as she holds a knife in her hand.
When the Nine of Swords appears in your spread you are going to be challenged at a very intimate level. This card does not bode well for relationships because it is obvious by thewoman’s stance that she will suffer his ills no longer. He has possessed her, but he doesn’t own her. Your relationship needs a new perspective if you want to keep it alive, although this card seems to suggest that will not be the case.
