This card is about gratification, indulgence, abundance, fulfillment, happiness, enjoyment, contentment, and getting what you want. Maybe it's you winning an award! Time to relax and soak it all in. It's a card about harmony, when things seem to all come together for you. If you know about the majority of cards leading up to this one you will know this is one to welcome when receiving it. It's the "wish" card. Have all your dreams come true? Crowley called this card happiness and his deck shows nine cups running over.
I guess the association I have with this card is being at my Grandma and Grandad's house after a family outing like Christmas. Good food, presents, and being with family, it really didn't get much better.
In one of my decks this card comes up more than any other. So much that it is worn out more than the other cards and you can tell which one it is on the backside from the wear.
Reversed, this card is a bummer. It's a bad day, things going less than expected, not getting what you wanted, or even someone else getting what you had expected to get. Could be a delay of getting what you wanted or maybe it's rejection. It could also be getting what you wanted, but at what cost? Did you over do it and ruin the experience in the long run? Always be careful in what you asked for! It's an empty space when reversed and leaves you wanting, longing for more. You may find abstaining is the correct course in this matter.
The song I picked for this card is the Happy-Happy, Joy-Joy song from The Ren and Stimpy Show.
