The defining feature of the Eight of Swords is a certain stability, resilience, steadfastness of anything related to the will, actions, thoughts, or information.

.

A "reversed" Eight of Swords is the loss of stability, resilience, steadfastness of anything related to the will, actions, thoughts, information.

For example, it may symbolize "mumbling", a person who's not confident in himself and his actions.

The biggest insult for a man from a woman is to be called a "foot rag"[377 - – The point of this insult – to express the woman's disappointment in the male as a partner, spouse, protector, and provider for their mutual offspring; to underscore her sense of futility in perpetuating this genetic line. Compare with the motto of the US Marine Corps. And then, for a full understanding, step into the shoes of a woman in a critical situation, when she’s counting on her man not to let her down. (Muse)]. Because that means he lacks will and a backbone.

Nine of Swords

A "real man" and a "real woman" can never be united in marriage.

A "real woman" never accepts a man on his first marriage proposal.

And a "real man" doesn't propose twice…

"Nines", according to the Kabbalah, are the last, final step before the Ten (transformation, transition to a new level). This moment determines the meaning of the "Nine".

"Nines" are completeness, perfection, mastery, a certain ideal (for your level or class).

Swords are will, action, thought, information.

Accordingly, the Nine of Swords is completeness, perfection, mastery of the will, actions, thoughts.

For example, it may symbolize a bestseller, an artistic masterpiece.
