The Nine of Swords is the card of extreme stress, nightmares and negative influences. It is also a card of painful endings. The Six of Wands is called "Victory" and indicates an interactive balance. It describes a situation that cannot exist without the contribution of (at least) two people and which usually results in a "win-win" outcome, unless it's ill-aspected by other cards. The combination of the Nine of Swords and the Six of Wands blends the challenging aspect of this Nine with the extroverted nature of the Six.
