Nine of Cups

Contentment; a wish granted.

The image

A plump, smiling man sits on a bench with arms crossed, nine cups lined up on a curved, cloth covered shelf behind him.

Keywords: contentment, satisfaction, gratitude

Light side

It is good to enjoy what you have. Contentment and gratitude let you savour a wish that has come true.

Shadow side

Satisfaction can turn into smugness or indulgence. Behind the curtain you may be hiding needs that pleasure does not touch.

Drawing Nine of Cups in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• If your wish here came true, what would truly satisfy you about it?
• What does "Nine of Cups" show you about your square?
• If "Nine of Cups" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Nine of Cups" in your life right now?
