THE NINE OF CUPS
“The Lord of Happiness”
Jupiter in Pisces
DESCRIPTION AND SYMBOLISM
A smiling and well satisfied man sits on a wooden bench before nine empty cups that are arranged in a semi circle on a table to his rear – the symbols of his present feelings of happiness and fulfillment. His arms are crossed in contentment as he has attained his full measure of satisfaction and pleasure. He is dressed in fine garments and sports a fancy red turban adorned with a ruffle on its right side. The table to his rear is covered and draped with a pleated blue cloth and both the floor and background of the room are painted golden yellow.
ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
The expansive good fortune that Jupiter brings when it resides in the psychic waters of Pisces is a most favorable astrological combination guaranteed to bring happiness, pleasure and the fulfillment of one’s wishes. This potent combination creates not only good fortune, pleasure and emotional satisfaction but also opens the gateway to the completion of our life through the dimensions of faith and mysticism in the Piscean realm of our visions, dreams and creative imagination.
ORACLES
When Appearing Upright in a Reading
Happiness, success and good fortune are within your grasp. The good things in life are approaching you. Pleasure and contentment will follow upon the satisfaction of your desires. Your wish will be fulfilled.
When Appearing Reversed in a Reading
Overindulgence in pleasure and a life of vain self-indulgence will lead to your undoing. Your pleasures will turn hollow. Ill fortune may await you. Your wish will remain unfulfilled.
THE TREE OF LIFE
“The Foundation”
No firmer foundation can be found that one built upon the stability and surety of spiritual and emotional fulfillment. When content within ourselves the waters of the inner life flow freely and bring with them that pleasure and beauty which nurtures fulfillment both on the level of the emotions and the senses and on the higher arc of the religious, philosophical and aesthetic dimensions of consciousness. This truth is symbolized by the golden yellow which frames the scene, yellow being symbolic of the Higher Intelligence - the surest foundation upon which to erect a meaningful destiny.
