General:
Reversed the Nine of Cups becomes the monkey’s paw and it can represent crushed hopes or the things you wished for turning into something more that more closely resemble a bad dream. Be careful what you wish for is another way of looking at this card. It is important that you are sure about what kinds of things you truly want in your life and this card can be a warning to put it to serious consideration.
You may find that if you put stock only in the things you own, the people you know, or the accolades you have garnered, that you still feel a deep sense of dissatisfaction with your life. This is an indication that might have left your true self somewhere back there on the road to success. This doesn’t mean you need to go back the beginning and pick up all the pieces, but locating true sources of joy aside from things that are materially quantifiable might be a good place to start.
This card can also be an indicator of over indulgence. Be careful that your relationship with drugs, alcohol, food, sex and even positive things like exercise are in balance.
Money/Career $
The reverse Nine of Cups can be an unsettling card to appear in a career or financial reading as it shows unhappiness with you current circumstances and even the possibility of the rug being pulled out from under you. You may feel stuck, but at a total loss for what you can do to ameliorate the situation. To put it in poker terms, it can show you being pot committed, which can lead to throwing good money after bad. Sometimes the best thing you can do is fold, cut your losses, restrategize, and survive to play another hand.
Financially, it can represent investments or other opportunities going sour.
Love / Relationships <3
Not the best of omens for a relationship, this card can show discontentment with the person you are with and a desire to be free from the situation. You may feel disconnected from your partner or emotionally detached in general, but unwilling to do anything to fix it. It can be trying to reveal to you that no matter what relationship you find yourself in, if you aren’t willing to put in the work it will eventually fizzle out. Wherever you go there you are.
However it may also be an indicator of settling for less than you feel like you truly deserve. Getting in touch with your emotions is paramount to understanding what is at the heart of this issue and it will help guide you into the proper state of mind to have something of value to offer a relationship.
