As interesting enough that the man is hurt and injured. I could see that as a hopes and desires he wants you all to himself. He is holding onto the last wand to himself. Perhaps he is looking back at the past wands (people) and as a hope and desire he is hopeful that this wand he holds in his hands is his and he doesn't want to let it go. Have they perhaps been cheated on in the past. Or had betrayals of sorts from friends?In placing a spread for a newly formed friendship, I got the 9 of Wands as the other party's hopes, desires and needs in our relationship. I understand the 9 of Wands to be associated with someone who has been hurt and wants to give up. How does this card translate to a newly formed friendship's hopes? I see this relationship could potentially develop into something romantic so does that mean the person is wary of engaging too deep for fear of being hurt?

I see the nine of wands as guarded but persevering. I don't see it as someone relationship-ready but I also don't see it as something that can't be easily changed. He's not in top shape (psychologically) but so we all are from time to time.
I hope this makes sense/resonates.
I would say that he is hopeful that he can stay alert and avoid anything which might potentially *hurt* him again. This isn't someone whose previous woes/hurts have caused him to give up - he's still hanging in there.
Thanks for this insight, from my understanding, she has gone through a bad patch with her current boyfriend but is still hanging onto the relationship. That is probably what the 9oW is portraying. And since she is still hanging on, that's why I was wondering what type of hopes she would have from my friendly relationship with her. Guarded, still hanging on to the other, but willing to explore new options? Is that what this could mean?
She may be on guard due to sensing your attraction/intent and neither sharing nor liking it, even if she has seemed amenable. There's really nothing in this card to me about "hope" or desire for anything, except perhaps to no longer feel hit on and/or checked-out: you may think that you've only come across as friendly, but her view could be quite different. Has she actually expressed some unmistakable interest in "more", or might you be barking up the wrong tree? Apparent flirting may have been misread or taken too seriously... And relationship problems don't necessarily mean that someone else is wanted, instead.[...] from my understanding, she has gone through a bad patch with her current boyfriend but is still hanging onto the relationship.
