Nine of Swords
Recovery of a lost item or lost love is possible. You may be recovering from an illness. Time to pick yourself up and complete the journey. Worrying about it has been useless. Your friends and loved ones have gathered around you and are willing to assist you in your goals. Financial support is possible now. Ask for forgiveness of someone, they will grant it.

You'll feel like you need a bit of a booster shot financially, and a family member might help out by suggesting you read or re-read "How to make friends and influence people". You may find yourself getting into arguments or disagreements with friends about art or decorating choice.

New ideas will flourish; you'll have the desire to propose them to your superiors; these will listen to you with interest; but in order to make sure that you'll be followed, don't adopt too affirmative tune. You should refrain from eating too spicy dishes; in fact, a vegetarian diet could perfectly suit you in this moment. You'll feel the need of greater sentimental stability, and you'll finally get a better view of your true aspirations; but you must control certain tendency to jealousy and not show yourself too possessive.

You feel temporarily blocked now. Resistance and challenges from others or from outside situations suggest this is not a good time to try to force your will and desires onto the world, as friction is the only likely result. Relations with men can be especially tense.

Opportunities for friendship, pleasant associations and enjoyable social interactions occur now. Personal relationships are harmonious and rewarding. Take some time today to let someone know how much you appreciate them, it's a good bet they'll want to show you just how much they appreciate you to.
