NINE OF SWORDS<br />

In These Spread Positions...Interpret the Nine of Swords Meanings to Include:<br />

289<br />

1 GOVERNED BY THE MAGICIAN: PHYSICAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE FATHER<br />

UPRIGHT: No one can know much more about the affairs of the Physical/Material Plane than<br />

you do. In<strong>for</strong>med, articulate, attentive, concerned, you are the dream on anyone’s Board of<br />

Directors. People know that where you are concerned, nothing will go unnoticed. INVERTED:<br />

Do not bury yourself in stacks of paper on your desk. Too many facts <strong>and</strong> you will not be able to<br />

see the <strong>for</strong>est <strong>for</strong> the trees.<br />

2 GOVERNED BY THE HIGH PRIESTESS: EMOTIONAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE MOTHER<br />

UPRIGHT: Here is an archetype of the psychiatrist/psychologist <strong>and</strong> all those with intricate knowledge<br />

of the inner workings of the Emotional Plane <strong>and</strong> the subconscious. INVERTED: You will be<br />

very serious about these matters but so much the better to make you a good writer or the like using<br />

the power of the mind to unravel <strong>and</strong> explain the secrets of the heart.<br />

3 GOVERNED BY THE EMPRESS: MENTAL GIVENS, INTELLECTUAL PREDISPOSITION<br />

UPRIGHT: You are a repository of much knowledge, <strong>and</strong> manage in<strong>for</strong>mation well. Your opinions<br />

are of great value. A judge would be lucky to have such an archetype here; most do not. INVERTED:<br />

You are naturally prone to accept responsibility in any set of circumstances. Do not step on others’<br />

toes in the process. Others have their responsibilities, too.<br />

4 GOVERNED BY THE EMPEROR: SPIRITUAL GIVENS, LIFE PURPOSE<br />

UPRIGHT: This is a path of wisdom with nobility of purpose. Here you become a master of the<br />

management of knowledge. As you approach universal mind you are becoming more aware of the<br />

darkest dark as well as the lightest light. A pervasive, though not unpleasant, sense of urgency is<br />

present. INVERTED: As knowledge at this level increases, each increment of growth brings noticeable<br />

increments of greater responsibility. The easy path is the one in which the responsibility is as<br />

eagerly sought <strong>and</strong> welcomed as the knowledge.<br />

5 GOVERNED BY THE HIEROPHANT: SYSTEMS BORN INTO, SOCIETAL INFLUENCE<br />

UPRIGHT: Your earliest living environment may have been as much a school as it was a home, <strong>for</strong><br />

it was full of knowledge. INVERTED: There may have been an abundance of in<strong>for</strong>mation, but with<br />

a surprising lack of real underst<strong>and</strong>ing. Discipline <strong>and</strong> pressure to achieve may have been excessive.<br />

You may not have been af<strong>for</strong>ded much time <strong>for</strong> true childhood, being thrust into adult responsibilities<br />

very early.<br />

6 GOVERNED BY THE LOVERS: EMOTIONAL TAPES, BASIS FOR RELATING/CREATING<br />

UPRIGHT: This is a very prodigious archetype <strong>for</strong> early emotional tapes. This is the higher mind<br />

impressing the heart with its knowledge of the situations that need attention in the world. This<br />

young heart not only accepted the challenge to do something about improving the world, it made<br />

that challenge its number one priority, its passion. INVERTED: Even with the nobility of such an<br />

altruistic passion as yours, you are not relieved of the responsibility of fulfilling what we call the<br />

“lower” emotion—to love, possibly to mate, to experience sensual pleasure, to enjoy family <strong>and</strong><br />

friends <strong>and</strong> simple humor. These are called lower only in that they usually come first, not that they<br />

are any the less important.<br />

7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES, MEANS TO ACHIEVE<br />

UPRIGHT: You know the names of all the plants in the inner courtyard, <strong>and</strong> you know which are<br />

life giving <strong>and</strong> which are poison. Armed as you are with an encyclopedia of helpful tidbits, you can<br />

bring <strong>for</strong>midable intelligence to any problem put on your table. INVERTED: Too much or too little<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation/thinking. Also the likelihood that you are too intent on the in<strong>for</strong>mation itself instead<br />

of what it is to be used <strong>for</strong>.
