General Interpretation

9 of Cups

The 9 of Cups is probably one of the best, if not the best card you could get. It is an uplifting card and one of the most positive that there is.

It is often known as the “Wish card” and for a very good reason. Whatever it is that you want to happen is likely to happen. Whatever it is that you are wishing for you are likely to get. Conversely if you don’t want something to happen you are likely to get that wish granted too.

It is undoubtedly a very positive and useful card to get but there is a caveat. And very simply that is: be careful what you wish for. Make absolutely sure that what you are wishing for is exactly what you want to come into being.

Friends and Family

Family and family matters are likely to be going very well indeed and if they are not you should ask yourself why. Is it possible that it is your perception of what is going on that is causing the problem rather than what is actually happening? The appearance of the nine indicates that all is well and perhaps you are overthinking the dynamics.

If, on the other hand you feel that things really haven’t been going too well with your family then you are likely to find that there will be a significant improvement in your relationship with them in the relatively immediate future.

Friendships too are likely to be going very well and you may find that one of those friendships in particular is going to deepen in strength. It is going to become more meaningful to both of you and you may find that this friendship will end up being a lifelong one.

Love and Relationships

If you are looking for love then this is probably the best card that you can get. Whether you have been searching for “the one” for ten minutes or ten years doesn’t matter. You are about to meet someone with the potential to be the love of your life.

If you are in a committed relationship then one way of viewing the 9 of Cups is that you both made the right choice when you chose to be together. Your relationship has the potential to last a lifetime unlike so many in this modern day and age and that happiness will be a fundamental part of it.

Spiritual Growth

There is a train of thought that says you only truly grow through experiencing pain and hardship. There is an element of truth to that because pain and hardship force the growth upon you.

But it is not the only way that you “truly” grow. Love, happiness, good times, etc. can all help you to grow spiritually. Adversity is not the only path to advancement.

Work and Career

Nothing today is as safe as it once was where work is concerned but when the 9 of Cups appears it is likely to mean that things will at the very least continue as they are. It’s not set in stone of course because nothing is but all things being equal you are safe where you are.

It can also mean that you will get the opportunity for promotion if that is something that you want (not everyone does) and you may well find that attaining it was easier than you thought.

If you have not yet found a job this card is a clear message not to give up hope. You are going to find one and find it relatively soon. You will still need to do your part to find it because it’s not going to knock on your door (at least most times it won’t!) but it is there to be found.

Message from Spirit

Things are likely to be going very well for you right now. If you have an abundance of love or money or both around you then share it with others who are less fortunate. The world is desperately in need of compassionate people.
