Upright

The wish card. Satisfaction and a wish coming true.

A contented man sits before a row of nine cups, arms folded, smiling. Known as the wish card, it promises that what you hope for is likely to come true. Contentment, comfort and emotional satisfaction are near. Enjoy what you have and let yourself feel grateful for it.

Reversed

Smugness, or a wish that does not satisfy. Look deeper.

Reversed, the Nine of Cups shows a wish that did not bring the happiness expected, or satisfaction tipping into smugness. Look deeper at what would truly fulfil you. Material comfort alone may not be the answer this time.

In love

Emotional satisfaction and a wish fulfilled in love.
Reversed
Something feels missing despite appearances. Talk about what you need.
