The Lord of Cruelty highlights dark influences in our lives – within or beyond us – that will do us no good at all. Here we see the smallest emotions of our race at work, creating damage and harm. Whenever it appears, it warns us that somewhere nearby there is danger lurking, waiting to cause disruption and sorrow. So we need to act very fast and decisively in order to nip trouble in the bud. Often, this card will be a comment on your own treatment of yourself – if you denigrate yourself and beat yourself up, you are facing the worst enemy of your entire life – you know your every weak spot, your every Achilles heel. You know just exactly what hurts you most, you have no defence against yourself, and you cannot walk away.
So when this card assumes importance in your life, you must examine yourself first and foremost. Are you treating yourself badly? Are you giving yourself a hard time? Are you chipping away at yourself relentlessly? If you discover you are, its time to stop. Hurting yourself about things within that you feel unhappy about is as pointless as trying to carry water in a leaky bucket ..you cannot adjust what you see to be wrong, because you are too busy standing in judgement upon yourself to gain any form of perspective or objectivity. And without these two useful analytical tools, you wont understand what you need to do to feel better, neither will you have the motivation or self-love to follow through. So .treat yourself with respect and tenderness whilst attempting to change what you do not like. Give yourself plenty of encouragement and praise for each small step you make. Dont be cruel. If you feel convinced that you are in balance with yourself .next examine what youre doing to others. Remember something ..there is never an excuse for cruelty. No matter what situation you find yourself in, there is always a better way to deal with a situation than to exert mindless cruelty which will damage you, in the long term, much more than the person you aim it at. Finally, consider the possibility that somebody in your environment is aiming cruel thoughts or deeds in your direction. Be on your guard so that you are not taken unawares Every now and again this card comes up as a firm warning of danger ..

Try our Love Horoscopes: Taurus and Aquarius Match
Creative Tarot: The Nines appear when we have to face a situation on our own. No teachers, no mentors, no editors or friends or lovers can help us now. Depending on the suit, that can either be a cause for celebration (the Nine of Cups is often referred to as the big yes card), or it can be awful (the Nine of Swords usually appears only after a panic attack and a sleepless night or two). Either way, these are decisions we must make for ourselves.
Tarot Triumphs: Tarot is a living tradition, and my own place in this has been shaped by my encounters with certain individuals who have mastered the Tarot, as well as by my own research and practice with Tarot over the years. Just as Tarot follows a path of evolution, so too is our personal relationship with Tarot likely to develop as time goes on. It is a never-ending process: as I write this book, new ideas arise, and my sense of the Tarot quest becomes exciting once more. Earlier, I hinted at the association of the Tarot Fool with the role of pilgrim, and perhaps he represents the questing soul in all of us, a figure forever exploring what the cards of the Tarot have to offer.

Reversed Cards: I am guessing that if you have this card in the blocked aspect, you probably dont even know you are blocking your access to your inner resolve. In fact, there is a good chance that you are so overwhelmed right now over your own perceived suffering that you cant even see that you have blocked the way for help and assistance to get to you. This aspect of non-fortitude is also known as despair and lacks any and all hope. But this is not really the reality of your current circumstances; it is merely your perception of it. Dont get me wrongI am sure there are many things presenting themselves in your external experience that support your current viewpoint. But I am also guessing that if you could allow yourself to see the possibility of hope or resolution, then you would also start to pick up other examples of hope on your radar. This blockage can be resolved. You just have to allow yourself to be open to the possibility that help and assistance are there. You just have not made room for them in your viewfinder.
