The weakness tied to the Nine of Swords is the despair that you feel for mistakes that have happened in the past. The truth may be that nothing you could have done would have changed the outcome. There is nothing that can be done to change the past, but the future is still open to you. If you truly regret your past actions then work towards redeeming yourself by your future actions.
The strength of the Seven of Wands is the ability to stick to your principles. By being willing to stand up for what you believe in you are sending a message to those who lack principle that they can not get away with their behavior.
The weakness that the Wheel of Fortune brings is a over-reliance on luck. Luck is never a guarantee and often it is fleeting. If you wish for luck to remain, hard work is required so that you can create your own luck. When there is luck without the hard work, it is easy to become complacent and suffer when the luck runs out.
At the heart of a relationship with the Chariot, it is important to think of yourselves as partners in a competition. By working together you can overcome the odds and reap the rewards at the finish line.
