The Nine of Swords is about anxiety. If you experience it often, as I do, you know that it is as ugly as this image from the Wild Unknown Tarot suggests. Even if you experience it once in a while, it’s not fun. Fear upon fear upon fear piles up and eats away at your thoughts.
It’s not an easy problem to fix, and you may feel embarrassed to talk about it because you think other people will judge you. But it’s great if you can find a friend or a healthcare professional who is patient and understanding—and there are many people out there like that.
In the meantime, things you can do in the moment to calm your nerves include aromatherapy with essential oils such as lavender and chamomile, exercise, and deep breathing. In addition, here some affirmations to recite and meditate on than may help calm the nerves:
- I treat my past mistakes as stepping stones to success
- I feel safe and secure in this Universe
- I hold the key to my success and happiness
- I am flawless and whole
- I feel better about myself every day
- This feeling is only temporary
