Tarot Tuesday: Nine of cups

Keywords: Wish come true, self-satisfaction, manifested dreams, contentment, gratitude.

My interpretation: Your wish has been granted! There is excitement and much to celebrate. You have achieved, or you will soon, what you set out for. It’s time to celebrate and show gratitude for all that you have accomplished. As a minor arcana, this card describes a short-term or temporary success. Getting what you want is often just the first step. Now that you have it, the fun part is doing what you need to do to grow, nurture, and maintain it.

My Advice: Now that you’ve got the first sign from the universe that you’re totally in sync with the goals you’ve set for yourself, it’s time to take that seed of success and plant it. How do you do that? By seizing the opportunity you’ve worked so hard for and making the most of it. Attend that networking event, shoot that video, write that article, hone your craft, and leverage the resources available to you. Practice, promote, invest, or save, and most importantly, follow through on what you promised to do if the universe gave you the chance to pursue this. Just go for it!

It’s super exciting when we finally figure out our life’s purpose or a big goal, right? But sometimes, that excitement can make us slow down. The “contentment” in this card means feeling cozy and relaxed after achieving something huge. Of course, it’s important to take a moment to celebrate your success. But don’t chill for too long, or you might get too comfortable and miss out on other awesome opportunities.

Reversed, the Nine of Cups speaks about discontent, indulgence, and materialism. Here is where we run into some real trouble. If you have been overly focused on pushing your agenda you may have stepped on a few toes on your way to the success you were seeking. As a result, you may find that although you have achieved your goal, it’s not as joyous as you expected because you have found yourself surrounded by things and not the people that you love and respect. If so, it’s time to take a look at the ways you have slighted your community and use some of that newfound abundance (time, money, charitable acts etc.) to mend the bridges you may have seared on your rise to the top.

If you’re always searching for happiness and community outside of yourself, it’s time to start a self-love and discovery journey. Sure, material things are cool. We all want comfort and stability, but if you’ve been going all out trying to buy people’s affection and now you’re feeling even lonelier, it’s time to take a step back and figure out why you’ve been acting this way, and how to make it right.
