Nine of Cups
After a long emotional journey of ups and downs, you've finally found self-satisfaction. You've struggled to find the light after living in such dark times, and you've learned different forms of comfort that helped you along the way. Now you find yourself feeling accomplished and confident in yourself, in the sense that, you know how to help yourself when facing difficult times.
Alternatively, this card can also suggest that you may finally have reached a long time goal that you've been working very hard on. You're sitting on your tower of cups feeling satisfied. It's okay to embrace this proud feeling you have, you've earned it!
The Nine of Cups is also referred to as the "Wish Card." This means that seeing this card in a reading could mean something you deeply desire is coming your way.
Card in Reverse:
In reverse, the Nine of Cups can suggest that you may be looking for a deeper and more authentic sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. You may experience short-lived feelings of joy, but they don't bring you the gratification you desire. You've been through a lot in life, and it may appear to others like you've achieved all you've ever wanted, but deep down you feel like something is missing. Are you feeling dissatisfied with yourself? Does it feel like you have a never-ending list of expectations that you just can't seem to meet? Is it possible that you are lacking confidence somewhere?
Try stepping back and enjoying the quality of your life. There is rich happiness to be found in our relationships and hobbies.
