#tarottraditionalqabalahelitarot2strikingly.com

The Rider-Waite-Smith- 9 of Cups illustrates the more mundane meaning of The Lord of Material Happiness. The smiling figure is enjoying complete success and fulfillment of wishes and proudly displays the wealth of nine golden cups in a moon-like crescent. The blue or aquamarine curtain represents the element of water as does the moon crescent. There is a more subtitle esoteric meaning to this card as the number 9, is the Sephiroth- Yesod [foundation/the Moon] on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The 9 of Cups is Yesod in the Suit of water, and 9, being also the number of the Moon, strengthens Water's reflection. Thus, the stability is restored to Water. After its wobbly exclusions to Hod -8-left hand path/pillar, and Netzach-right hand path/pillar suit of Water has now returned to the Middle Pillar.

Traditionally the 9 of Cups tarot cards are assigned Jupiter in the house of Pisces.

When Jupiter is in the sign of Pisces, it creates a blend of energies that can be quite intriguing. Here are some characteristics of Jupiter in the house of Pisces:

1. Expansive Spirituality: Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, finds its idealistic and spiritual expression in Pisces, a sign associated with spirituality, mysticism, and transcendence. Individuals with this placement often have a deep-seated spiritual inclination and may find themselves drawn to mystical or religious pursuits.

2. Compassionate and empathetic: Pisces is a compassionate and empathetic sign, and when combined with Jupiter's benevolent influence, it enhances the individual's capacity for empathy and understanding. They are often compassionate listeners and may be drawn to helping others in need.

3. Imaginative and Creative: Both Jupiter and Pisces are associated with creativity and imagination. People with this placement may have a vivid imagination and a talent for creative expression, whether through art, music, or other forms of artistic endeavors.

4. Idealism and Optimism: Jupiter in Pisces can contribute to a deeply idealistic worldview. These individuals may have a strong belief in the inherent goodness of people and the possibility of a better world. They are often optimistic and hopeful, even in the face of adversity.

5. Sensitivity to the Unseen Realms: Pisces is linked to the realm of the subconscious, dreams, and the collective unconscious. With Jupiter in Pisces, there is a heightened sensitivity to the unseen realms and an intuitive understanding of the mysteries of existence. This placement may manifest as a strong interest in psychic phenomena, dreams, or the occult.

6. Escapism and Fantasy: On the flip side, the combination of Jupiter's expansiveness and Pisces' tendency towards escapism can sometimes lead to a propensity for living in a world of fantasy or illusion. Individuals with this placement may need to be mindful of avoiding excessive escapism or delusion, staying grounded in reality while still honoring their spiritual and imaginative nature.

7. Philanthropy and Generosity: Jupiter in Pisces often fosters a generous and philanthropic attitude. These individuals may be inclined to give back to their community or contribute to charitable causes, motivated by a genuine desire to make a positive difference in the world.

Overall, Jupiter in Pisces tends to amplify the spiritual, compassionate, and imaginative qualities associated with both Jupiter and Pisces, offering a rich tapestry of experiences and opportunities for growth in these areas of life.

The Fairy Tarot-9 of Summer depicts an image reminiscent of the fairy god mother fulfilling the wealthy dreams of a lady. The young lady has not only gained wealth but also an exceptionally large sense of confidence, well-being, and security. She has gained on all levels that are physical. From the look of the area, she is not only lavishly appointed, but also is in a very fertile and prosperous landscape. She may have also wished for greater confidence in her affairs, hence the royal accoutrements. Any way you look at it, her wish was granted.

• Wellbeing.
• Material security.
• Superiority.
• Serenity. What is not shown but is astrologically assigned to this card is Venus in Virgo. Astrologically Venus in Virgo   represents the need to love critically, and partially, to manipulate money carefully, with attention to detail, often critically.

Individuals with Venus in the house of Virgo may exhibit certain characteristics influenced by the combination of Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and Virgo, an earth sign known for practicality and attention to detail. Here are some key traits associated with this placement:

1. Analytical Approach to Love: Venus in Virgo individuals approach love and relationships with a meticulous and analytical mindset. They may analyze their feelings and evaluate the practical aspects of a relationship before fully committing.

2. Practical Expressions of Affection: Practical gestures and expressions of love resonate with individuals with this placement. They may show love through acts of service, such as helping with daily chores or providing practical support.

3. Attention to Detail in Aesthetics: Venus in Virgo individuals appreciate beauty in a detailed and refined manner. They may have a keen eye for aesthetics, noticing subtle details that others might overlook. This could manifest in their fashion sense, home décor, or artistic preferences.

4. Reserved and Modest Love Style: These individuals may not be overly demonstrative in their affections and can be somewhat reserved in expressing love. Modesty and a sense of humility may characterize their approach to romantic relationships.

5. Desire for Order and Organization: Venus in Virgo individuals may seek order and organization in their relationships. They might feel more comfortable when there is a clear structure and routine, and they may appreciate partners who share these values.

6. Health and Well-being Considerations: Virgo is associated with health, and individuals with Venus in this sign may be mindful of the health aspects of their relationships. They might prioritize maintaining a healthy lifestyle and encourage their partners to do the same.

It's essential to consider the entire birth chart for a more comprehensive understanding of an individual's astrological profile, as other planetary placements and aspects can further influence their personality and approach to relationships.

In the world of Western Hermetic Qabalah, the 9 of Pentacles card is Yesod the Ninth Sephira in Assiah and/or the influence of Yesod in the Material World. Yesod, meaning foundation- is governed by the Moon (Feminine). In the material world this influence is very favorable for amassing things, but with Venus in Virgo, there is a lack of overt feelings accompanying this great efficiency. Therefore, you may just have to force yourself to celebrate.

When the 9 of Cups or 9 of Water card is thrown during a divination, the querent is or will be experiencing:

• Complete pleasure, and success in a period of 9 weeks or 9 months.
• Complete and perfect realization of pleasure and happiness as wishes are fulfilled.
• There can be some vanity and conceit here, but it is good- natured.

•  High mindedness and not easily satisfied with small, gossipy, limited ideas.
• Such a person may be maligned because of their self-assumption but the querent, being of a good generous, sometimes foolish, nature, makes the malingers look overly critical.
• Concord.
• Contentment.
• Physical bien-être.
• Victory.
• Success.
• Satisfaction.

If ill defined by surrounding cards or reversed, it implies:

• Self-complacency. 
• Vanity.
• Arrogance. 
• Mistakes.
• Imperfections.
