If a magic lamp appeared to grant you one wish, what would you wish for? It’s a tricky question, right? We’re living at a time when the collective is feeling challenged, and our personal lives may be feeling a little bumpy. But be assured, you’re not alone in just wanting a solid win.
The “Wish” Card
The Nine of Cups is considered to be one of the best cards in the tarot deck and is often labeled the “wish” card. Upright, the Nine of Cups, simply put is satisfaction with what we have. It’s happiness, fulfillment, and ease. It’s realizing your dreams, abundance, and confidence. This all sounds dreamy. Just imagine if all we needed to do was wish for something, and it would happen. Well, it’s not the wishing that gets us our desires, it’s knowing our value. Being aware of your value puts you on a path to success. So invest in yourself, and soon you’ll be sitting in this guy’s seat.
Take a quick look at the card, and I bet you can’t help but notice his facial expression. Does it remind you of the cat who swallowed the canary? It’s been said that he comes across as smug—all puffed up and a bit overconfident. And, notice how he sits with his arms folded and that smile on his face. It’s as if he’s saying, “look at all of my golden cups, aren’t they great”? We’re all at different stages and places on our journey. It’s great to lean back and take in all that is right in your world, and it’s also great to have some humility.
When reversed, the first thing that comes to mind is the expression “be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.” Sometimes we want things that aren’t the best for us and it would be helpful to think about our reason for wanting it. Think of a time when you did not get what you wanted and that moment of relief when you realize how grateful you are for that!
