Without Peace of Mind, Even The Rich Man is Poor
The happiness that this card represents does not always have to do with accomplishments or achievements. While it feels good to have what we want, things can fall apart if our contentment hinges upon material conditions then our happiness is flimsy and unstable. Contentment is the main message of this card, but it is not clear what is supporting the cups behind the man. What is the foundation that upholds this sense of happiness and satisfaction?
This card also exudes luxury, which its appearance in a reading often denotes. It's great to have what you need, and it's even better to have high-quality things you can rely on. On the other hand, in this world of luxury, there is the risk of overindulgence. When you have everything, it's easy to feel compelled to desire more. The bad elements of the Nine of Cups include hoarding your money, being stingy with it.

Have you engaged in excessive glorification or lording your wealth over others? What are your thoughts about wealth? What are your thoughts on overindulgence? Is it possible to be wealthy and satisfied without going overboard?
