Nine of Cups Upright
The Nine of Cups is considered the “wish granted” card— it represents emotional fulfillment and contentment. If this card doesn’t resonate with you at the moment, perhaps it’s time to treat yourself! Whether circumstances have gone in your favor or you’ve made your own destiny, remember to make time for gratitude.
Nine of Cups Reversed
Success can be gratifying but it can also be lonely. If you’ve made material gains but still feel like something is missing, consider nurturing your connections with others. Similarly, it’s important to remember that success can be fleeting— don’t take too long to rest on your laurels or you may miss out on other opportunities.
