Nine of Cups
water
you have what you asked for. don't underplay it.
upright — what she sees
you have what you asked for. don't underplay it. drawn upright, nine of cups speaks of satisfaction, the wish, self-content. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — self-content made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
the wish came true. you forgot what it was for. reversed, the card turns inward — smugness, shallow satisfaction. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, nine of cups is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
