Some people are naturally lucky. Others seem to work for all the breaks they get. I certainly welcome those unexpected strokes of luck that come my way from time to time, but find the other brand of luck is a whole lot more reliable. I recommend acting in concert with your wishes to benefit from the most luck, since those breaks are a lot more dependable when the other kinds is in short supply.

Today’s Tarot is the Nine of Cups, often referred to as “the Wish Card.” This is one of those cards everybody loves to see, because it points to wishes fulfilled and emotional satisfaction with the outcome.  Associated with Jupiter in Pisces, this card points to luck (Jupiter) in fulfilling your dreams (Pisces). Nines in Tarot mean you’re approaching the end of a cycle or event. You’re almost home!

This is a good card to examine for it’s clear symbolism. Note all the yellow in the background. The gentleman here is getting his wishes fulfilled for sure, but chances are it wasn’t  sheer luck that got him there. Luck favors those that act in concert with opportunity, after all. The yellow indicates rational thought, reasoning and intellect. In other words, he used his brain to figure out how to get where he wanted to go.

And looking at his clothing—he has a blue and white striped outer garment. Blue is associated with water, and therefore the emotions and intuition. White is purity and innocence. So here, I see a man who lives with a pure heart. His undergarment is also blue, so he’s probably in good touch with his emotions.

And his hat: Red is associated with fire—passion, ambition, and assertiveness. Red on his head, it describes how he thinks. He also has on red socks and yellow shoes—his ambition helps to move him, taking rational (yellow) steps to reach his goals, perhaps? His feet are firmly planted on the ground, and he sits on a solid, wood stool. He is firmly grounded.

So putting this all together, we’ve got a guy who is very lucky, by virtue of taking advantage of opportunities and taking logical steps towards fulfilling his hearts’ desires. It’s paid off for him, and I think he has a right to sit back and enjoy it. He earned his luck, from what I can see. The message from the Nine of Cups is that you’re indeed getting lucky, because you’ve earned it, too.

How’s your luck? Can you tie it to your Jupiter?
