Nine of Cups

Nine of Cups — Minor Arcana, from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

contentment, a wish met, satisfaction

The comfortable card: what you wanted, more or less as you wanted it. Enjoy it without waiting for the catch.

In a yes or no reading, Nine of Cups upright answers yes.

Reversed

hollow satisfaction, wanting the wrong thing, overindulgence

You get it and it is smaller than expected. Worth asking whether it was the right wish.

In a yes or no reading, Nine of Cups reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Nine of Cups can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
