The Nine of Cups is often called the “Wish Fulfillment” card. It signals a time when things are going very well and you are feeling the joy and excitement of it all. But even the Nine of Cups has a shadow side.
Sometimes we as humans place too much importance on who’s in first place and who’s in second place. A Nine of Cups isn’t a Ten of Cups. So even though things are good, we may still wish for everything to be perfect.
And yes, that would be nice! But in the meantime, you can always enjoy what you have in front of you right now.
By the same token, moderation is called for, as well. What goes up has a way of coming back down, even if it’s ever so slightly. It is hard to maintain the high forever.
With that in mind, it helps to be grateful for the present moment and to have a healthy respect for the unseen and the unforeseen. There may be circumstances underneath the surface that you don’t know about and can’t predict.
The goal is to be emotionally grounded. That will make it easier to manage the highs and lows that are an inevitable part of life.
