Nine of Wands

Nine of Wands – The Alien’s Vigil

An alien struggles under the weight of nine wands, carrying them back toward a waiting spaceship. Bonnie the cockatoo hovers above, watchful and encouraging. The barren landscape behind them suggests past trials, while the saucer offers the promise of safe return.

Meaning

The Nine of Wands speaks of resilience, vigilance, and the determination to finish what has been started. The alien has endured challenges and setbacks but refuses to give in. Each wand is a burden, but also a symbol of progress and survival. The spaceship is both refuge and the next stage of the journey, reminding us that even at the brink of exhaustion, the end is in sight.

Bonnie’s presence adds a note of perspective: she is the voice of encouragement, reminding us to rise above weariness and see the bigger picture.

The Alien’s Plan

The alien isn’t just carrying wands; they are gathering the resources needed to build something new aboard their craft—a beacon, a shield, or perhaps a portal to another world. They know the struggle isn’t over, but they’re preparing for the next phase. Their plan is survival through foresight: conserving strength, securing tools, and watching the horizon for what might come next.

Bonnie’s Wisdom

“Don’t just clutch at your burdens—remember why you carry them. The end of the journey is closer than you think. Lift your head and keep flying.”
