Nine of Wandsfor Taurus
"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 Taurus
The Builder
Taurus is an Earth fixed sign ruled by Venus, whose natural subject is money, possessions, self-worth, what you value. Wands are the fire suit, so the Nine of Wands sits in Aries. Aries sits directly beside Taurus, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: spend the energy on one thing today. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Taurus is fixed: it holds on, and this card is about an ending, which is the specific move fixed signs will delay the longest. The card and the sign pull in different directions, and the friction is the information. Upright, it is nearly finished, and the last stretch of it is mostly solitary.
