Touchstone Tarot ~ Nine of Wands

Nine of Wands

The lady in this card seems to be a bit on edge.
She seems to be wringing her hands as if she is expecting trouble.

Over the wall there seems to some kind of disturbance going on.
Torches have been lit in the courtyard and sticks are being waved about as if in angry protest.

The sky is dark as if there is a storm brewing.

The lady looks to be anticipating trouble and is on her guard, and ready to defend herself if need be.

I do agree this lady looks on guard, but for me she looks prepared to kick some butt rather than being anxious. I see the wands leaning against the wall as battles she's fought and won; she's ready to take on all comers. Don't mess with this Sister!
