Overview

Some people get everything they wish for, and it’s a blessing in itself.
Symbolism
A man adorned in white with a red hat sits with his arms crossed smugly with 9 chalices placed on pedestals over head. Everything else is yellow.
Meaning
Getting what you wanted
If you had played the lottery yesterday, you could be a millionaire today. At least that’s what it feels like. The thing that you were chasing with infatuation is coming to your version of ideal. All the things you have wished for are coming together perfectly. All that you hoped, and dream will surely be. The diligence, and the will of your heart screamed for the universe, and it heard you. The most fantastic version of whatever you cried for is coming raining from the heavens.
Your thoughts became your manifestation
While the nine of cups is typically always positive. In the rare occasion you are looking at its worst side is that every negative thought you’ve entertained are coming forward to manifest into reality. This is the card that is the manifestation of dreams. If you think that everything is out to kill you, death will show its face.
Wishing star
This card is the shooting star of the Minor Arcana. Anything you wish for can come true. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Anything you want can be yours, it means that the universe subscribes to your vision, and this is a tremendous “bingo” moment in your life.
Successful Manifestation
This card is like a combination between the magician and the wheel of fortune; the magician who manifests his own reality, and the wheel of fortune that is like winning the lottery. Only it’s a smaller resonation of that card.
A gift horse
Sometimes when this card comes up it’s because it’s too good to be true. Something that you’re looking at like a four leaf clover really is just a weed. It’s not lucky at all. This wish comes with baggage, sacrifices or impossibly high standards.
What ever you wish, you just have to commit.
Divine timing
This card can also be symbolic of being at the right place, at the right time.
Nine of Cups Reversed
“We are never satisfied with what we have; we always want more.”
— Epicurus
Emptiness, indulgence without fulfillment, getting what you wanted and still feeling hollow
Overview
Due to the overwhelming positive attribute of this card, it’s typically always an indicator that good things to come. Though how you feel at the time, based on all you had to achieve to fulfill your own wish— may change the way you feel about it at the time.
Meaning
More Effort required for success
Sometimes the things we wish for take a little more thought and effort to manifest. This is the symbolism of that card. This card is so happy that it’s nearly impossible for it to be a negative. There are just obstacles.
Timing is necessary
What you desire is a waiting game and will take time, effort, or hard work to manifest. It is possible though, if you are dedicated and willing to wait for the right timing.
Positive thoughts yield positive results
Keep your thoughts positive, and try not to obsess over it. Let things develop their own way and see where it goes. As long as you stay positive, you will attract positive.
