pulled nine of swords reversed as a clarifier and im more lost now

ok so I did a reading about whether to have a difficult conversation with my friend and got the 5 of wands

I was like ok that tracks, conflict and tension makes sense. so I pulled a clarifier to understand what kind of conflict we're talking about

and I got the nine of swords reversed??

like... am I overthinking this (which would be the reversed meaning) or is it saying the conflict will cause anxiety? or is it saying my anxiety about it is worse than it actually will be?

clarifiers are supposed to CLARIFY things lol why am I more confused now

omg clarifier cards that make it worse are the WORST

but honestly 9 of swords reversed in that context... I'd read it as your fear about the conversation is bigger than the actual problem. like youre losing sleep over something that wont be as bad as you think

I actually love 9 of swords reversed! it usually means releasing anxiety or realizing your worries were unfounded

so maybe the clarifier is saying: yes there's conflict (5 of wands) but youre making it worse in your head than it needs to be?

this is why I stopped pulling clarifiers tbh lol they always just add more questions

but yeah I agree with the others, reversed 9 of swords is usually about mental relief not more anxiety

ok this actually makes a lot of sense when you put it that way. the conversation has been building up in my head for weeks so yeah... probably overthinking it

thanks everyone this helped!

lol clarifiers are so chaotic sometimes. I pulled the moon as a clarifier once and was like... ok that literally made it MORE mysterious not less

but I think with 9 of swords reversed specifically, it's usually pointing at the worrying being out of proportion to the situation? like the conflict with your friend might actually be way less scary than your brain is making it

did you end up having the conversation??

this is so wholesome honestly. the cards were literally telling you "stop worrying" and you worried anyway and then it was fine lol

happy it worked out!! 9 of swords reversed really does just mean "its not as bad as you think" most of the time

ok update for anyone who cares lol

i finally had the conversation and it went... totally fine?? like we talked it out in maybe 15 minutes and both of us were relieved after. she even said she'd been wanting to bring it up too but was also nervous

you guys were so right about the 9 of swords reversed thing. the anxiety was literally the whole problem, not the actual situation. i spent like a week losing sleep over nothing

note to self: trust the clarifier next time lmao
