Each card in the tarot deck is unique and diverse. You can understand its meaning only by looking at it. The figure displays its interpretation in full. Nine Chalices is one of the happiest and most successful cards in the deck. In this article, we consider its meaning and combination with other cards.
Suit of cups
Bowls is another name for these minor arcana games. Cups symbolize the inner experiences and feelings of a person. These are the most powerful emotions, both negative and positive. The value of the cards largely depends on their suit. The symbolism of the Chalice is not difficult to understand. Each person is a kind of vessel or cup. What is it filled with? Of course, emotions, dreams, fantasies.
Drawing on the map
We have already mentioned that the image largely reflects the essence of the lasso. And despite the fact that the pattern is different in different decks of Tarot, you can still find some similarities.
Alistair Crowley's Tarot Tota deck has 9 cups on the map. All of them are filled to the brim, and water even overflows over the edge. And this is not surprising, because the element of the Chalice is water. It reflects the spiritual side of man. Crowded cups symbolize happiness and success. The whole card seems to glow in gold.
The nine bowls in the Mirror of Fate deck have an even more pleasant appearance. We see a man and a woman sitting opposite each other. Between them is a long table, and on it are 9 cups filled to the top. Girl sitting near a window with a sea view. There is a smile on her face. It seems that everything she dreamed of has come true. And in fact, the Nine Cups means that all desires will soon come true.
In the Tarot 78 Doors deck, the map shows a rich man. A table with different goodies was laid in front of him, the servant was still carrying food. At the bottom of the table is a dog who also got a treat. A rich man raises his goblet. He seems to be drinking for good luck and very happy. The bad days are over, finally the good ones have come. In any Tarot deck, the Nine Chalice has a good meaning:
- happiness,
- success,
- fulfillment of desires.
Overall value
Interpretation of Tarot cards in many respects depends on a deal and position in which they drop out. As for this card, in the general sense, it indicates the end of an unfavorable period. This is the white stripe that always follows the black one. The card says that what a person was waiting for will surely come true and he will even get more than he wanted.
In a simpler sense, Nine Cups (Cups) portends a magnificent walk, feast. If it falls out as advice, it indicates that the fortuneteller needs to relax and take a break from all affairs. This is a map of good change and the implementation of all that has been conceived. Deep satisfaction, harmony and joy - this is what this card portends in a direct position.
Personality characteristic
The people symbolized by this card love entertainment, parties, festivities. Work is difficult for them. They are partly lazy, but they do not experience financial difficulties. The Man of Nine Cups is very lucky and passionate. It is difficult for him to adhere to the routine. He may be a little irresponsible.
Tarot Card Nine Cups personifies a cheerful and carefree person. He has finances, but he does not value them. Such people are often prone to overeating, they like to drink and relax. The Man of Nine Cups has a creative nature. Most likely, he leads a bohemian lifestyle and a great success is spinning his head. As a characteristic of an individual, a card indicates that a person has no purpose in life. He lives from feast to feast. All that he cares about is entertainment, drinking, friends. Usually these are very sociable and frivolous people. Sexually, the card indicates secret desires, sometimes quite perverted. This is basically a map of pleasures and lusts.
Love sphere
The value in the relations of the Nine Chalices in the Tarot hands is also quite positive. The card indicates that the fortuneteller will be pleased with the relationship that he has with the other half. Many happy moments await them. Most likely, the relationship is at the stage of falling in love, flirting. This is a passionate and very sensual relationship. The card may also indicate a new positive sexual experience, unusual desires, ecstasy.
If the Nine Cups falls to a lonely person, it means that soon he will meet his soulmate. It is not necessary that this will be a long relationship that will end in an alliance. The map rather indicates passion, love. The fortuneteller will experience a feeling of euphoria, joy and happiness.
Nine Chalices in combination with other cards may have another meaning:
- With the Hierophant card - a wedding, a loving family.
- Ace of Chalice - enjoyment of love.
- The King of the Cups is a happy spouse.
- Lovers - an offer to get married.
Professional field
In fortune telling for work and career, the significance of the Nine Chalices is largely dependent on the cards that will be nearby. In most cases, the lasso indicates that a person is pleased with his work. He not only comes there in order to earn money, but also receives sincere pleasure from it. The card may also indicate that the fortuneteller will be promoted, new and interesting offers and ideas.
Nine Chalices can also be interpreted as completion of business, vacation, successful completion of the project. The map symbolizes the transition from work to leisure. If before that there was stagnation or trouble in the professional sphere, they will soon end. This card is not action, but emotion. And therefore, it reflects the feelings of a person in relation to work or business. But if we talk about beginnings - the lasso acquires a negative meaning. He points out that new businesses and projects should not be started. A person will not be able to bring them to the end. If there is no other way, then, before starting a new business, you should have a good rest.
Inverted value
In most layouts, the interpretation of cards is affected by their location. The inverted Nine Cups symbolizes satiety. That is, if in the direct position - it is pleasure and joy, then in the opposite - their excess. And this can bring a fortuneteller many different problems. About such people they say "mad with fat." After all, there is never too much joy and happiness. And "busting" in any business always carries with it certain problems. From the excess of alcohol in the morning the head hurts, and after overeating, discomfort in the abdomen is felt.
On the other hand, an inverted card may indicate that success and success are just an illusion. In fact, there are many pitfalls in the situation. And soon the fortuneteller will find out about them. The inverted card is of the same importance in the dealings on relations. From the outside it may seem that the couple is doing fine, but in fact, the relationship is on the verge of breaking.
If a fortuneteller has no partner, then the inverted Nine Cups means that he is an idealist. Most likely, a person seeks to find a partner without flaws, but this, unfortunately, does not happen. This is precisely the reason for his loneliness. Excessive requirements for partners will only lead to disappointment and loss.
Inverted Nine Cups can also mean sadness. This applies to those cases when a person really wanted something and finally achieved it. Soon he will understand that all this did not make him happy.
Card combination
In many Tarot hands, card combinations play a crucial role, and they must be taken into account. So, despite the fact that in the fortune-telling on the Tarot, the Nine Cups has a positive meaning, with some lasso things can be quite the opposite. In addition, you should pay special attention if the card will be next to the senior lasso.
Nine Cups and the Devil
This is a special combination, which rarely occurs, but at the same time has its own special significance. So, the Nine Chalices and the Devil card indicate various dependencies. If other Cups drop out in the scenario - most likely, alcoholism. These are all the passions of man, which in fact do not bring him pleasure, but rather even harm. In the scenario of personality, the combination indicates a greedy and spoiled person.
Nine Cups and Tower
When two practically opposite cards fall together, it begins to seem that the deck is simply lying. But in fact, in this case, you should turn to combinations of Tarot cards. The Nine Chalices is quite positive, but the Tower is not. The senior lasso points to the collapse of hopes and plans, while the youngest - to their implementation. Together, these two cards mean that a person should be very careful. His desire is about to come true, but if he is wasteful or, conversely, greedy, everything will collapse. You can’t wait for the long-awaited happiness if you behave incorrectly. In any scenario, this combination means that a person should be very careful in thoughts and actions.
Tip
One of the most popular hands of Tarot - divination on one card. In this way, you can quickly get advice on a matter of interest to you. Tarot Card Nine Cups has a positive meaning, but what does it tell the fortuneteller? In the upright position, it means that nothing needs to be done to solve the situation. Everything will be resolved by itself, and the fortuneteller will only need to reap the fruits of good luck.
In the inverted value, the card indicates that the person does not know the measure. Such behavior will lead to the fact that he will not achieve the desired goal. Inverted Nine Cups gives advice that you should change your behavior. If the question concerned a financial plan, then perhaps you should start saving. If the love sphere - should not show their feelings or reduce pressure on the partner.
Map of the day
The nine bowls in this position say that the time has come for rest and relaxation. Today all conflicts and troubles will end. The card symbolizes a new stage in life. She shows that the time has come for rest and relaxation. In general, the card has the meaning of “happiness”, and if it falls in the position of “card of the day”, then some good event will happen.
Fortune telling rules and rituals
If you are seriously carried away by the layouts on the Tarot cards, you should remember that the events that the cards predict are not the exact future of a person, but only one of the options that has the greatest chances to come true. But with some effort, the situation can be changed. For novice tarologists, some layouts do not come true at all, but all because there are options, the probability of which is very low. This happens when the fortune-telling technique is not followed.
Before the situation, you should let go of the situation. For a while, forget about it and just shuffle the cards without thinking about anything. Then ask a clear question. For example, you ask: “What are the prospects of my life with my husband?” Next, from the deck you need to get 6 cards and arrange them in the following sequence:
- How does a fortune-telling spouse relate.
- What does he think of union.
- What are his intentions.
- How to behave with your husband.
- What you should pay attention to.
- Prospects for relationships.
Each card in this scenario should be interpreted separately.
- So, if, for example, the lasso falls in the first position - it means that the partner experiences pleasant feelings towards his beloved.
- In the second - he believes that their union is a full bowl. Their family has a lot of joy and good moments.
- If we talk about intentions, then this is most likely a need for sexual relations.
- If the lasso falls in the fourth position, it means that the deck gives advice to the fortuneteller that more time should be spent with her husband.
- If the card falls on the question "what should I pay attention to," then it speaks of negative aspects. Perhaps one of the partners is abusing alcohol.
- In the last position, the Nine Cups portends a happy family life, vivid and unforgettable feelings.
Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that this lasso has a dual meaning. On the one hand, a card denotes happiness, luck and success. But on the other hand, she warns of addictions, that everything needs to be known in everything. In pursuit of pleasures and pleasures, a person may lose the feeling of happiness and joy.
