From the Sasuraibito Tarot, the Nine of Wands; from the Soul Cards, Hidden Motives:
You may have been through some shit, and are a little beaten up, but stay strong. Be resilient and breathe, you are almost to a place of respite and recovery.
— Stasia Burrington
Cicero once said that habit teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain. If we're in a life and death situation, it's necessary. But on the downside, fatigue may rob us of our judgment and cloud our discernment. The Hidden Motives figure extends a helping hand while holding a dagger in the other. We need to stay alert, especially when presented with enticing gifts or offers. As Virgil said, "Trust not the horse, O Trojans. Be it what it may, I fear the Greeks when they offer gifts."
