Nine of Cups

Additional deck interpretation:

The Nine of Cups points you towards a path of having your dreams and aspirations begin to come true as you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth.

This is the level on your continuous cycle of change when all your hopes and wishes, all you have been working hard to attain, is beginning to materialize. Relationships are positive, your wealth is growing and you are feeling joyful and deserving


The Nine of Cups is associated with the energies of a warrior who is on a mission to acquire something meaningful.

You are this warrior and this card suggests that you are not going to give up until your wishes come true. You will make mistakes and experience some unexpected challenges and need to work through these challenges, but your hard work results in many rewards.

You realized that when you wish upon a star, dreams really do come true because someone put those stars in the sky for a reason - someone with much more power than you have.

Or something amazing might fall into your lap because this is also the card of miracles and associated with the time when you will receive something beautiful and rewarding that you are not expecting.

Numerical Number 9: This number is associated with completion. You are at the end of a cycle and the time of transition when you need to clear the deck and do whatever it takes to prepare for a new cycle.

This is the time of realizing your dreams because you never gave up on your search for inner happiness.

The Element of Water: The Nine of Cups is associated with the elemental water qualities of the Moon (the keeper of secrets and intuition) and the zodiac sign of Pisces. The combination of the Moon in Pisces brings you into an intuitive knowing that your wishes will come true.


Probable Outcome: Wishes come true in the form of abundance on a material level and inner happiness (the time when you are over your inner struggles because you worked through them).

Personal and professional relationships will be good (engagement, marriage, starting a family, a job promotion, creativity at its finest hour, recognition, or a successful business that fulfills you emotionally).

Possible Outcome: Wishes are not coming true, you lack material abundance and you are still struggling with inner happiness. You need to work through these struggles one step at a time and not give up.

Personal and professional relationships are delayed, or mistakes have been made, or hidden events revealed related to an engagement, marriage, starting a family, a job promotion, creativity, recognition, or a successful business.

Then again, you may be unable to channel the energies of the Nine of Cups into your life. If this is the case, you probably wished for something you did not need.

We are taught that as we age wisdom arrives and we get better at making the right decisions. But sometimes we wish for things we really do not need and learn another lesson, so we need to "Be careful with what we wish for, because we may receive it!"

Timing: The Nine of Cups predicts an important event when intuition and emotions are turned into action. This event may occur in the next weeks or months to come.
