Nine of Cups · IX

✦Something you wanted has come through, at least in the form you asked for.

This is a card of pleasure, comfort and letting yourself enjoy a good result without apologizing for it. It's personal satisfaction more than shared joy: your win, your chair, your cup.

Enjoy it fully and say plainly what you're grateful for. Then ask whether this was the real wish or a stand-in for a deeper one.

Settling so completely into comfort that satisfaction turns into smugness and nothing new gets in.
