Key Words for Tarot card - Nine of Cups

  • Happines
  • Comfort
  • Wishes Fulfilled
The tarot nine of cups is clearly significant of indulgences that come with success. In many Tarot systems, the nine of cups is also called as the Wish card. It signifies that all of your wishes are soon coming to reality. The man in the picture is very happily seated as if just saying that "Look at my cups, they are all full."

This is a situation very similar to that of the cat who has had all that she wants at the cost of someone else, but sooner or later, the feathers in her mouth will be shown and it is then that regret will set in. It is a good sign to know that your dreams are coming true but you must remember the fairytale lesson that you have to accept the responsibilities that go with the fruition of your dreams. If you accept that, well you may go ahead and enjoy your good fortune! But it is important for you to know by what means are you reaching your goal. Is it legitimate enough for you to realize your worthiness?

When the nine of cups appears reversed in a reading, it is a sure indication of the times when you have to reap the fruits of your wrongdoing. You have known the means employed by you to achieve this goal to you as incorrect, yet your greed has forced you to take this step. The card signifies remorse and it is best if you accept it gracefully. Denial would worsen things up.
