The Nine of Wands indicates you as querent (the person receiving the divining) are expecting something to arrive. Things are stagnant at present moment. If attacked, you will face the opposition head on. You are a wounded warrior with battle scars. That said, you are ready to face any opposition, although you may appear tired.

This card represents delays. A temporary pause. However, once you pass through the trials of the Ten of Wands, the burdens are over. You are almost there.
