General Meaning
If the man seated in this card could speak, he would say, “You know, I don’t even have to look over my shoulder to count my blessings. I’m certain of them. I know that even if one cup falls and spills, the other eight will be enough to sustain me, and I will fill the fallen cup back to the brim as soon as I’m able. I am grateful. I am joyful. I am satisfied with life and with my place in it.”
Gratitude and Satisfaction
When we talk about the nines, the awareness goes to all corners of our life. This includes happiness, when everything is okay. I feel very strongly that when you are grateful for what you have, the universe gives you more to be grateful for. Not stuff, necessarily, but good people, a safe home, and, you know, enough. This card is not about being rich or a having big, puffy shirt. This card is about being satisfied and having enough. And even more so, it’s about being grateful for what you’ve got.
Nine of Cups Inverted
If you turned this card upside down, the guy wouldn’t be sad about the water/love/emotion flowing out of the cups. He’d be grabbing for the golden chalices and trying to shove them in his pockets. It’s not the contents but the container that he’s interested in. Shallow, greedy, and interested in King Stuff. The problem is, even if he collects all of them, all he’s got are empty cups.
