January 31 - February 2, 2012: 9 of Cups

[Al-Shariyf]

HAPPINESS
Nine of Cups

Meditation Pattern: Place Atu X, Fortune, and Atu XVIII, The Moon, side-by-side, with the 9 of Cups above them.

Traditional Description: Lotus or water lilies, with one flower overhanging each cup. From these, a white water pours. Cups are arranged in three rows of three each. Symbols of Jupiter and Luna above and below.

Yesod of Water: Richness of the soul. Satisfaction of sensuous, creative, and sexual needs. Complete success; pleasure and happiness; wishes fulfilled.

Jupiter/Pisces: Complete realization of pleasure and happiness, almost perfect; heightened capacity for enjoyment; kindness; contentment; self-praise, vanity, conceit, much talking of self, yet kind and lovable. High-minded, not easily satisfied with small and limited ideas. Apt to be maligned through too much self-assumption. A good and generous nature, but sometimes foolish, indulgent, and self-satisfied.

Luna + Jupiter: Happiness, kindness, satisfaction, sense of well-being, popularity, pleasure, enjoyment of rich living; but also philosophical, high-minded, with a keen social conscience.

Whew! Feels better already. (Oh, I suppose my progressed Moon square natal Jupiter today has something to do with that, too.)

"Whew! Feels better already."

Damn straight it does!

Feels like some chains have been removed and I can breathe!
