IX of Cups

What an ego! This fellow thinks that he has it all. With his arms crossed, he sits protecting his emotions. He doesn’t realize that people can come behind him and grab his emotions, in spite of his crossed arms over his heart chakra. The cups sit on a blue tablecloth implying he even believes that he has his thoughts under control. The red hat shows his passionate need to keep it all in together.

Now that he has all of this wonderful control, what is he going to do with it?
There is the element of material success in this card. There is comfort and well being for this person and his future. Let’s hope that he does not let it become the most important thing in his life.

Reverse: There is little confidence in his emotional status. This person needs reassuring that he has the ability to regain self-concept and dignity.
He needs to know that creating emotional walls is not necessary.
This reverse card with The Tower card can mean the querant is coming out of a difficult time, but with great emotional and psychological scars. It may be appropriate to suggest professional help. In the case of a divorce, this can imply that there is no emotional trust or communication between the two people.
