The Nine of Cups
2010-09-14, 12:25 p.m.

Twice now, I've done different Tarot readings on the same general topic in a short period of time--not intended to replicate the outcome or "test the cards," but the situation is somewhat fluid. The first one--the three-card spread that I posted previously, showed the nine of cups in the "future" position, and I listed snippets of the card's meaning as found on a fairly decent Tarot learning website. Yesterday evening I did a ten-card spread for more detail. It was reasonably favorable, but guess who showed up again... Indeed, the nine of cups found its way back to position 6, future influences. There were a couple of cards in the spread whose meanings/influences weren't entirely obvious to me, so I will have to ponder that.

But anyway, the nine of cups...

From another source:

The nine of cups indicates good health and much success. There will be a situation which will provide for your best interests. Material gains could be part of your attainment as well as emotional support in life. Your work will start off bright, then turn dark, and then bright again. Don't worry, after a slight retrograde, you'll see material gain or a good outcome. An emotional issue concerning the care or treatment of another will be discussed.
Want personal fulfilment or gratification and to 'keep the faith' in the ultimate workings of good, despite appearances to the contrary. The past is not a barometer, so don't resign yourself to 'that's the way it is, and it will never change'.
Nines represent personal integrity and completion, or the final stage of development. Nine is associated with the Moon - therefore dreams and delusions play a role in these cards. This final stage may bring certain problems with it, and past experiences and methods of coping become important here and are an intrinsic part of the meaning attached to the nines.
Fulfilment The Nine of Cups represents stability and advancement. This is a card of great success, especially material success. It represents triumph, victory, and financial well-being. The enjoyment of good personal relationships, love and friendship, as well as comfortable material circumstances are indicated.

This card reflects happiness which is either health, finances, work, luck, love or relationship. Your desires will be fulfilled, and this fulfilment will bring with it much satisfaction and contentment. This is the traditional wish card, so whatever the querent desires here can be theirs -- however, everything does come with a price, and they should be careful what they wish for because they are likely to receive it!
Achievement, satisfaction, wishes fulfilled, self-indulgence, happiness. The Wish Card. Excellent social life. Parties, good friends and fun. Good health, happiness and popularity. Fulfilling relationships, ease of communication. Contentment.

Overall, a very positive card... The whole "be careful what you wish for" and "everything comes with a price" and those ideas really scare the hell out of me though. I wish I knew what that meant because it's going to make me insane to think about...
