Minor Arcana — Cups

Nine of Cups

wish fulfillment · satisfaction · contentment

Upright Meaning

The Nine of Cups — known as the 'wish card' — sits before a display of fulfilled desires, radiating satisfaction. What you wanted is here, or very close. This card is a green light from the universe: your emotional wishes are being granted. Allow yourself to feel genuinely happy without immediately looking for the catch.

Reversed Meaning

The wish was granted, but satisfaction is elusive. The reversed Nine suggests that getting what you wanted did not make you as happy as you expected, or that you are focusing on superficial pleasures while deeper emotional needs go unmet.
