Mystical Cats Tarot - Nine of Sky

[Onaorkal]

A grey cat sleeping on a dark grey surface and seems to be having bad nightmares.

We can see an exploding firecracker, electricity/lightning, a threatening large dog showing their teeth, thorny twigs, a bird of prey with their sharp claws, a tornado, a threatening cat showing their theeth, a tick and a threatening snake.

 

 

Colors : Mainly grey.

 

 

This card is there to remind us that ''[…] fears that overtake you are just that : fears.'' Whether they came from a vivid dream or from reality, they shouldn't cause disruptions to your everyday life. As the author advises, ''Wake up and put things back in perspective.''

 

 

Symbolism :

 

Grey color : Symbolizes uncertainties.

 

Number 9 (dreams/elements) : Represents completion and achievement. Here it relates to the advice given by this card to ''overcome your fears''.

 

Lying on the back : Position of vulnerability.

 

Exploding firecracker : Represents an aggression to the senses (sight and hearing).

 

Electricity/lightning : Symbolizes sudden current of energy, possibly an aggression to the senses as well (sight and touch).

 

Aggressive dog : Could represent a fear commonly found in cats.

 

Thorny twigs : Symbolizes hardships.

 

Bird of prey : Normally cats are birds' natural predators, but here the bird looks big and their claws look dangerous. It could represent a nightmarish situation where roles are reversed and one is afraid of becoming a victim.

 

Tornado : Dreaming of a tornado is related to the feeling of being overwhelmed and having no control over what is happening.

 

Aggressive cat : Could represent a dreaded confrontation with someone.

 

Tick : Could represent the fear of disease.

 

Aggressive snake : Dreaming of a snake relates to difficult situations and unsettling emotions. Fear of venomous snakes is also commonly found in cats (rightly so).
