Nine of Cups
The Nine of Cups depicts a figure immersed in luxury who feels satisfied yet slightly uncomfortable after overindulgence.

Reversed, it points to feeling unfulfilled despite achievements, discouragement, or giving up before realizing a dream. The card highlights both the joy of attainment and the need to recognize true contentment to avoid the discomfort of excess.
