Nine of Wandsfor Libra
"Tired is not the same as done."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
The figure leans upon his staff and has an expectant look, as if awaiting an enemy. Behind are eight other wands stood up in order. Wands represents passion and nine represents the final stretch. Together this card represents coming near to the end of a long and tough journey, alone and bandaged. The final stretch before finishing-- you have just a single wand to carry you through.
You are being tested, it seems like all your hopes have been dashed-- but you still have the one idea you started with; the core passion to carry you through. Perhaps you were cancelled on for a date you were excited about, or your partner is absent. You're end goal is still in sight. You feel alone now, but you have the ability to get through this and work towards what you want. Keep taking small steps toward your goal (be it a healthy relationship, a marriage, a new job, business success etc).
You are feeling like you want to quit; it's hard to continue on and you are questioning if you can get the things you want. Do not lose hope-- all is not lost. You may feel like the task is impossible, but I believe in you. If someone else is blocking you, try to set boundaries and find ways to move towards your goal despite them.

Nine of Wands for Libra
The Harmonizer
Libra is an Air cardinal sign ruled by Venus, whose natural subject is partnership, contracts, the other person, open enemies. Wands are the fire suit, so the Nine of Wands sits in Aries. Aries sits directly opposite Libra, so this card describes the half of the situation Libra habitually hands to someone else. What it wants is this: spend the energy on one thing today. Handing that to another person is exactly the habit. Libra is cardinal: it starts things, and this card is about finishing, so the pull will be to begin something new instead. Fire and Air feed each other, so this card's logic will feel natural here. Natural is not the same as correct. Upright, it is nearly finished, and the last stretch of it is mostly solitary.
