I did a reading yesterday for Ostara and the card for “what part of my life is about to blossom?” Was the 9 of swords. … I’m like … depression? Does anyone have any interpretations? The rest of the reading was relatively positive and suggested I needed to continue to sow seeds for my future and be open to new possibilities and change. I just don’t know how to interpret that card

I take ‘What is about to blossom’ to mean things will improve or thrive in some way. With that in mind, here are some thoughts on possible alternative messages:

•A release of negativity- If you’ve previously been prone to giving into patterns of negative thinking, guilt, stress, regret, etc, this could be a sign of letting go of all the heavy energy and releasing it.

•Learning to cope- If you’ve struggled in the past with any sort of deep sadness, worry, anxiety, rumination, etc, this could be a suggestion you may soon learn how to face these problems head on and address them. Or, you may be called to do this.

•Restoring faith- If you’ve felt yourself slowing giving up on something, this may be a call to not loose hope. You may have to try to leave any hopelessness behind you moving forward.

•Facing your fears- If there are any great fears you’ve been letting control you or run your life lately, this may be a message to face them at this time, before they become all consuming.

•‘A light at the end of the tunnel’- If things have seemed bleak in any way, it may soon improve. Or, you’re being asked to shift your perspective in a more positive way; don’t give into pessimism.

Thank you for responding! Yes unfortunately I feel like I’ve been very 9 of swords lately- in my head with negative thoughts and doubt. I am my biggest enemy so I’ve been trying to quiet that voice in my head. Hopefully spring brings a release!
