Considerations
Because of the strong sense of confidence and well-being represented by this card, there is always a possibility of a preoccupation with oneself.

However, keep in mind as with most things in life, not all is perhaps what it seems, and Nine Water is no exception.
The Major Arcana card Moon warns us we need to be cautious when entering new territory.
In the tarot card Moon, we witness “fear,” a result brought on by the loss of bicameral mind and the appearance of consciousness. No longer hearing the voices of ancestors and gods, we feel abandoned.
