The "Nines" in the Tarot Deck are the last of the single digit numbers. They are cards of completion (as an aide-memoir think of the 9 months of human pregnancy). These are cards representing an achievement about which one can reflect on progress made, and any associated material gains or earnings.

In the case of the Nine of Cups many decks, including for example the Rider-Waite and Robin Wood Decks, depict a smug, satisfied character who is content with his successful outcome. This is often understood to bring tidings of "wishes granted" to the seeker, especially when this card appears in a "Future" or "Final Outcome" position in a spread..

This card is warm, positive, and reassuring, a welcome card.

Keywords summarising the possible meanings of this card include:

• Satisfaction
• Security
• Sensual Pleasures
• Success
• Well-being
• Wishes Granted.

Remember that all of the Cups cards in the Tarot Deck have some energies in common. These include, for example, the overall association of the suit of Cups with emotional feelings. For further information, also read about the Suit of Cups in general.

Some texts include meanings for "reversed cards", which apply when the cards are shuffled in both order and orientation. This doubles the number of possible "cards" in the deck from 78 to 156. (In terms of the probabilities of obtaining results by chance alone, it is not a simple doubling as once a card has been drawn it cannot be selected again in the opposite orientation in the same reading.)
