I could be wrong on this. But 9 has shown up for me as literal sleep disruption, nightmares, insomnia, that kind of thing. Racing thoughts that just won’t quit.

It’s like the playing card version of a [tower moment](https://forum.thetarot.guru/t/what-is-a-tower-moment-in-the-tarot/553), but I really appreciate the honesty when I get it in a reading.
