“Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.” -Jane AustenPleasure, enjoyment, satisfaction. This is a delightful and optimistic card. This card is known as the “wish card”. It can indicate receiving what you desire (or what it is you think you want). It’s getting the outcome you hoped for, enjoying the situation and feeling great contentment with the way things are. It smacks of the cat that ate the canary. The nine of cups shows immense fulfillment on the physical and emotional level. It can signify sensual pleasure and delight in all of life’s gifts. It’s about enjoying all you have, all you love and all that is encountered to the fullest. It's a card about indulgences. Although we have every right to enjoy this untroubled time and self-satisfaction, it is a reminder for us to KNOW what it is we truly want and to take care not to overindulge. Too much pleasure without concern for consequences can lead to unhealthy behaviors and unhappiness.
