sorry I am late.

Yes, I would view the 9 of cups as positive. However, for some reason it doesnīt feel explicitly romantic or sexual to me, more like a "Joker" card. But def. positive.

Twirl,

I had another thread on tarot decks as well. I am now and then checking out the Morgan Greer deck, maybe I will consider it.

Strange thing is that though I started with RWS tarot, many many years ago (I was around 16 at that time), I abandoned it. Well, actually it abandoned me, let`s put it this way, I got the feeling I had ****** off these cards (too many questions about the same subjects), and they stopped talking.

I also was never happy with the 9 of cups card for some reason. lol
The man on the image seemed so selfsatisfied that it tilted it to the negative in my head.

However, I got another deck two weeks ago, I didn`t think it would work out, but we heade4d off to a better start this time.
Actually I did the relationship readings with this deck, and it seemed to have resonated with most people.

These cards pretty much seem like "cut to the chase" cards, very straightforward, on point, and painfully honest.

I guess I am personalizing them too much though. lol

@ceri: okay. I understand. It can happen with a deck that it just doesn't resonate. I tried rune stones at one point. Didn't work and seriously the stones just disappeared! Probably lost in a move at a point, but never to be seen again! Clear message it's not my divination means, lol.

For 9 pents: I don't read it as a positive. More often then not in regards to love it has showed that the other party is perfectly happy on their own. They enjoy the 'catch' and are smug with their lover, but mostly they will not commit. Also look at how they close of their heart chakra in RW. Great sex and fun? Sure. Long term commitment? Not quite.

"okay. I understand. It can happen with a deck that it just doesn't resonate."
Interestingly it does resonate NOW.
I guess I had to mature for this deck.

Hi Ceri: thanks for your insight on this...what do you mean by a "joker" card exactly? Do you believe it's a wish come true kind of card? Sorry for all the questions- just trying to learn.

Love your love cards - and yes I def. think it depends on the surrounding cards.

My personal opinion of course. Death can be very welcome, because it's a calm and natural process of letting go in order to make room for the new.
The Tower process can be so incredibly devastating.

T-gem,

I read about the 9 of cups being a wish fulfilling card; however I have come to the conclusion that in my readings it might be that, but more importantly it is a "self-satisfaction" card.

to me the 10 of cups is about the contentment you have in feeling you belong to someone, your soul-family so to speak. Togetherness.

However I see the risk with ALL cup cards, that they are not necessarily talking about "manifesting reality".

The cup cards to me tell a lot about feelings, impressions, but as we all know feelings are just feelings, they are necessary for feeling happy and loved, yes, but you need something else to "make" a relationship, anchor it in reality.
Some pentacle cards seem to be more appropriate to that (though I would like them paired with cup or wand cards, cause without, the emotional basis might be lacking).

I also like some wand cards, esp. the 4 of wands. And preferably some majors.

I donīt think of the 10 of cups as intentionally deluding or deceiving someone else. But sometimes people may have dreams that are grander than reality really is. Too good to be true, so to speak. But then at some occasions it IS really as good as it looks.
Again depending on surrounding cards.

Lol. Not much to add. I do really agree. Saw 10 of cups for someone where the partner kept saying he did and wanted (!) this happy family and kept promising that, when in reality it never came/was impossible. So it was just the hopes. Even though at that time it appeared in future position. Looking deeper in the relationship showed that friction and chances of actually getting there were very small...

Just one moment your life was something, and the next it is totally different, leaving you no time to adjust.
