Nine of Swords

Upright

The fear is larger at night than the situation supports.

Do not make decisions while you are unable to sleep.

Repetition is doing the work of evidence here.

Write the fear down and separate the facts from the story.

Someone who knows you can check the proportions with you.

Reversed

The dread is beginning to lift and its hold is weakening.

You can now ask for help instead of managing it silently.

The support you have been refusing is more available than you assumed.

Reduce one obligation and protect one night's sleep.

If the weight is persistent, it deserves a professional, not just endurance.

Original Chinese reading

Upright: 焦虑、失眠、过度担忧

Reversed: 走出焦虑、求助有效、噩梦渐消
