Nine of Cups

What Nine of Cups means

The wish card. Someone sits with arms folded in front of nine cups, very pleased with themselves. What you've been hoping for could actually show up, so be specific about what it is.

This is known as the wish card, the high point of the Cups before the Ten turns personal happiness into something shared. The figure sits in front of his cups with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, like someone who just finished a very good dessert. It stands for satisfaction, comfort and getting what you hoped for, in your feelings and in the material world. Picture hitting a goal you set a year ago, or looking around your place on a Sunday morning and realizing it's pretty much how you wanted it.

Nine of Cups reversed

You got the thing and it's a little meh, or you're wanting more out of habit. See if the wish still fits.

Reversed, the wish comes true and somehow doesn't satisfy, or you keep reaching for more out of habit. It can also tip into smugness or a little too much of a good thing. Sometimes the real wish was something else all along.

In love, work and money

Love

Contentment, a relationship that feels good just as it is, or a hope about love that might be closer than it looks. Enjoy it without poking at it for flaws.

Work

A goal reached, a role that finally fits, a project you're proud of. Take a full evening to enjoy it before chasing the next thing.

Money

Comfort, and maybe a little extra. Treat yourself modestly and keep enough of a cushion that the good feeling lasts past the weekend.

Yes or no?

Leans yes. it's the wish card, after all, so the odds are friendly.
