The Nine of Cups is also the Lord of Material Happiness and is aligned with the energy of Jupiter in Pisces. It represents love and bliss and deepest joy and is known as the Wish Card.
Jupiter never does things by halves - you can be sure that whatever it touches expands greatly and this can be to your benefit or detriment.
Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces, before Neptune was discovered and took that role, and so the energy of Pisces and Jupiter together are very comfortable, like old friends or lovers.
There is expansion of love in all its forms, since Pisces does not impose boundaries on its feeling nature. There is a flow of fluid energy,and this can really expand your heart chakra and allow you to bliss out on feelings of universal love - indeed it is a time when you feel in tune with others and with nature also.
There is a danger with this card of losing yourself somewhat, and this can often happen in a love relationship, when your boundaries and those of the beloved are indistinct. It is certainly a time of great enjoyment, of feeling that you have discovered the meaning of all existence and it is in the realm of love and expansion.
Most people are unable to exist constantly at such a high vibration of love indefinitely - as we need contrast in our life and experience so that we can differentiate what we prefer. So enjoy the feelings that you may be at home with now, and also know that with the ebb and flow of life this will not last forever.
The opportunity is to anchor the wonderful feelings will experience now in your body, in your memory and in your life, so that you may draw on the well of your Soul in future times when you are most in need of comfort and reassurance.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” ― Rumi
