This card signifies special energies afoot and known as the “wish card”.  When the Nine of Cups appears, then what you are hoping for or dreaming about most is very likely to be yours in a brief period of time and overall.  Happiness and good things are about to enter your life once again.  If your inquiry required a “yes/no” answer, then the answer is a powerful “yes”.  Again, the caveat to any divination is that not all messages are carved into stone.  This is an important time to notice and improve on your use of positive affirmations and visualizations and the ways in which they can enrich your life on every level.  Good luck that you hadn’t counted on could be yours at work, or interviewing for work.  This month could be the month that previously stalled projects or plans finally move forward.  Love relationships are looking strong, relaxed and feeling comfortably balanced.  Finances are looking better and your situation and vision for better is looking more achievable today.  Trust yourself.  Dream big … then, take the steps to make it happen.

Wands are in the realm of accomplishment and are often generally related to work/career.  If you are having a difficult time and draw this card, know that things are likely to improve very soon.  Be upbeat, optimistic and hopeful about your future, because you have lots of reasons to smile about it.  You are likely to be feeling quite energetic and positive, or you will be feeling this way soon.  Aces also tell you that now is a good time to start something new.  What will you begin?  If you’re looking for work, something new and exciting is headed your way now.  Be bold and ask for what you want/need in the work/career arena.  You are likely to be more successful, more so at this time.  A new love relationship is up ahead for those seeking companionship.  If you already have a partner, then your relationship is headed towards another new level of understanding that allows each of you to express yourselves through one another harmoniously.  Remember that your mind and body are more closely linked then you tend to consider.  One affects the other, without a  doubt.  A new spiritual influence may enter your life.  Think about your spiritual role models.  If you don’t have one, seek one out.  The resources are out there, if you are open to discovering them.

O Happy Day!  Your proverbial ship has come in and your material wishes will be met, perhaps beyond what you envisioned possible.  Overall, things are going exceedingly well for you.  Security in all forms is at a high ebb.  You have a great deal to be thankful for.  Relationships of all kinds, finance, health … all ought to be in good stead now.  Consider how you got to this happy situation.  Make the best of it, and be sure to share what you have, even if it’s only a kind word spoken to someone in need.  We get back what we give out.  A raise in pay or a better position may come to you out of the blue.  You are very likely to enjoy this new situation.  This is also an excellent omen when you are looking for work.  Just the right position, at just the right pay, is likely to be made yours if you keep trying.  Persist and work with this upswing, even if you see no concrete signs.  If you’re in a committed relationship, this card is a sign that things are advancing to the next levels of intimacy … living together, engagement, marriage, childbirth.  For a time, you will likely experience a peaceful, happy love life.  Enjoy it, and make sure your beloved knows how much s/he mean to you.  If you’re looking for love, then new love may come into your life so fast it will make your head spin.  Be open.  If you’ve got financial questions on your mind, today’s energies answer them with a resounding, upbeat “yes”.  Invest in your future and save some of what’s coming in now.  This is a time of peace, joy and prosperity for you.  How will you share this?  How can you deepen your spiritual growth and exploration when you are already happy and doing well?  Revel in these good feelings.  Share them in whatever way you can.  Record them in your journal so that when times get difficult again (as is always true of a Cycle), you can refer back to this happy time and be reminded that these energies always come ’round anew.

Be careful about where you put your trust.  If you are inquiring whether you can believe what a person is telling you, or trust that a situation is stable, this card clearly answers “no”.  However, where one door closes, another door opens.  You are being guided to a situation that is better for you.  Trust yourself and trust in the Universe.  This card signals that your work situation is about to come to an end.  Your best bet is to get your ducks in a row and think through what you will do if you do indeed lose your job, for any reason.  You may have been treated badly by someone.  Don’t waste your time and precious energy plotting revenge.  Just get on with the next phase of your life.  Above all, don’t give up.  Something about the love situation you are in is not right.  Ask yourself a lot of questions, accept reality and don’t close your eyes to the truth.  You can’t force someone to love you or to behave respectfully.  If you’ve recently met someone new and you’ve been looking, keep looking.  In money matters, you might be facing disappointment.  This is definitely not a time to gamble.  Rather, it’s time to take stock.  If money has taken a downturn for you, or someone you trusted has not come through, be careful not to beat yourself up.  This is not the end of the world.  Try to think logically and rationally and strategize:  what now?  You may finally let go of a long, deeply held spiritual belief that has actually been standing in your way.  Again, you must be careful where you put your trust in terms of spiritual leaders who may seem to have your best interests in mind.  Discernment is required.

Things are going well for you these days, and you’re feeling charged up and ready for action.  Good news, particularly in matters of the heart (i.e., Cups), is on your horizon.  Work projects are progressing forward in a positive way.  If you are seeking a partner, rejoice because someone is about to sweep you off your feet!  Your finances are looking better; an accounting of income over expenses might reveal that you’re definitely operating in the black these days.  Get ready to enter new realms in your spiritual exploration.  New ways of looking at things are opening up to you.  Pay attention to things that seem like coincidence.  These are often the ways that Spirit communicates to us.

You will choose to leave a situation that no longer works for you … whether that’s a relationship, a job, or a neighborhood.  There may be some sadness involved, but separation is in your best interest.  Know that renewed good times lie ahead for you.  If your gut is telling you that you really need to get out of a relationship, job, or living arrangement, trust yourself.  Instead of this coming out of the blue, or sometime or something leaving you, you are the one who will make this choice.  You may need some time alone.  Take it.  You will find depth and wisdom in solitude, and in listening to the quiet voice inside.

The vibe is definitely about reunions, though not necessarily romantic reunions.  You’ll be running back into, or purposefully meeting with, someone or something that you have been away from for some time.  It’s generally considered to be a happy reunion, an upbeat time.  Things should be going well for you, overall.  You can look forward to at least one pleasant reunion with someone or something that you have been apart from for some time.  It also can mean celebration — your own or someone that you care about — such as the celebration around a new baby, wedding or other happy occasion.  The Three of Cups is also a great omen regarding work.  Money is flowing in and you could come into a new job and/or a promotion.  The mood in your working world is relatively pleasant.  If you’re looking for work, you ought to be successful (perhaps surprisingly so) at how things work out for you.  Continue moving forward.  Carve out some solitude time for yourself and use it to reach out to others.  This could lead to a spiritual awakening.  Consider your need for a spiritual teacher (a live person, like a trusted counselor) and, if you do, seek one out.
