I recently did a tarot card reading to find out what the outcome would be for a friend of mine and I need to know what it means when the following two cards appear as the last two cards: Can anyone advise please?

 The best course of action card was -3cups

The outcome card was- 9 of Swords

 The couple are having a baby so the 3of cups is a good sign but I am worried about the meaning of the 9of Swords

Any ideas?

Thanks ....Karyn  

Your question is incomplete because its important to know what your friends query was all about before these two cards can be deciphered in its proper context.

However as a generalised reply, I would say that:

Best Course of action (3 of Cups) would be to lighten up, be merry, look forward to the joy of having this baby.

Outcome with 9 of swords could mean: Too much anxiety and worries could be the cause of a self fulfilling prophecy. Anxiety could be about having a healthy baby etc. Maybe not truly ready yet to start a family perhaps so these to could be reasons for worries and fears.

Hopefully this interpretation may give you further insight for your reading.

Hey Karyn

I would agree with the other reply. Three of cups celebration excitement of the baby. I feel the 9 of swords is as some call it the card of nightmares but these nightmares are brought about by the person worrying when they dont need to worry. How were the other cards in the spread?
