The Nine of Cups is sometimes called the Happiness or Victory card. This card is usually depicted with a man doing a brisk activity and feeling contentment about it.

In my interpretation of this card I chose to depict the cup or bowl of the goblet as waterlilies floating above Larimar stones which create the stem with water coming out of the pool to complete the goblets base, symbolizing that we're always in a constant state of motion. I also wanted to represent the emotional aspect as a vast pool full of endless possiblities.

Larimar is the perfect stone to represent this card as Larimar is said to have the properties of enlightenment and healing in both physical and emotional as wall as mental and spiritual ways. It stimulates the heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras facilitating inner wisdom and outer manifestation. It brings peace and clarity, radiating healing and love energy.

The glowing heart also signifies the importance to appreciate what you have now and cherish it because nothing last forever, you may need to adjust and adapt. Remember to count your blessings and express gratitude for what you have.
