NINE OF CUPS DESCRIPTION
The Nine of Cups Tarot is a card of accomplishment and satisfaction. In a reading, the Nine of Cups also suggests the fulfilment of wishes. The man’s smug expression in the Nine of Cups and the way displays the symbols of his success. Just look at all those trophy cups. But a closer look will tell you that he has earned his bragging rights.
His red hat and the gaudy feather plume are obvious signs that he loves showing off. But his white garment in the Nine of cups also tells you that his heart is pure. There is a spiritual dimension to his joy.
On the surface, his crossed arms express his pride. If you look closer at the Nine of cups, you’ll see that they actually form an infinity sign, a symbol of life. His bench is a place of honour on the Nine of Cups. Combined with the blue tablecloth behind him, there is an odd similarity to the High Priestess of the Major Arcana.
The High Priestess holds the key to spiritual bliss. The Nine of Cups contains the key to earthly happiness. In fact, Kabbalists call the Nine of Cups Tarot card the Lord of Material Happiness.
Not all the cups in this suit are filled with wine. Sometimes, they’re filled with tears and sweat – just about the fluid that symbolizes a human emotion. The journey through the Suit of Cups isn’t always easy. The fact that he is smiling in the Nine of Cups is indeed an accomplishment.
