The man in the Nine of Cups evokes the image of a cat eating a canary. Nowadays, canaries should be kept away from gluttonous cats. Any cat who catches the bird will feel quite presumptuous. That is the overall meaning of this card – the pure passion and self-satisfaction.

Number nine represents the integrity and completeness, or the final stage of development. This stage can bring some problems. The experience and countermeasures become important and are an intrinsic part of the meaning associated with number nine. Thus, it shows a dreamy tendency and enjoyment of the pleasures of life.

On the physical side, it symbolizes the full satisfaction of all senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. This card encourages you to seek satisfaction and pleasure as well as enjoy your body in all aspects. You can also communicate with the natural world – the Earth Mother. She will also be happy to share Her wealth and prosperity.

On the personal side, Nine of Cups implies satisfaction for all that you have. You can notice the image of a man sitting confidently with his arms folding and a smile on his lips. He has everything he wants and can not feel any happier, as if he wanted to tell us: “Let’s take a look at these cups I have! Are they great?”. Sometimes, the best thing is to sit down and enjoy the thought that everything is going so well. But one thing you need to pay attention to, probably you are tempted to live a life of enjoyment on the work of others (like the mischievous cat of ours). That feeling may be great; but sooner or later, what is done by night, appear by day; and then the feeling of regret will invade you. Finding pleasure without regard to the consequences will never bring you happiness in the long run.

More generally, it reflects happiness in all areas such as health, finance, work, luck, love or relationship. After the difficult choices of the Seven of Cups and the stagnation of the Eight of Cups, things started to come back to balance with this card. Being one of the positive cards of the deck, this Cups card shows satisfaction on every level – emotional, physical, and spiritual. It is not unreasonable to be called the card of expectation. Its appearance is often seen as a sign that whatever your heart desires will come true in the next few days or weeks. This is a sign of a successful beginning.
