In classic Rider Waite Smith tarot decks, the Nine of Swords shows someone sitting up in bed with their hands over their face. The person has difficulty sleeping. Next to it are nine threatening swords. But on the cover there are red roses, which shows a soon mature process (next card Ten in Swords). This is one of the cards in the Tarot deck that describes anxiety. It speaks of someone who lacks inner peace. Someone who is tormented by guilt, shame, worry. The thoughts terrorize. On the bed is a scene carved of a person lying down and being attacked by an attacker. You feel at a disadvantage. You think and think about something you have done or should do, about something someone else has done or should have done. You feel guilty about how you behaved. All this overmental energy speaks of an overactive Crown Chakra.
