Nine of Cups
A well-fed man sits with arms crossed and a satisfied smile on a small bench, while nine golden cups stand arranged in an arc on a draped shelf behind him.
★ Upright
The Nine of Cups is the wish card — satisfaction, comfort, a goal achieved and openly enjoyed. Upright, it promises emotional and material contentment and often the granting of the specific thing you have been wanting. You are allowed to enjoy this without waiting for the catch.
♺ Reversed
Reversed, the smile is for the audience: smugness, indulgence that no longer satisfies, or a wish granted that turned out to be aimed at the wrong target. Recount your cups by your own values rather than the display shelf's.
