44-Nine of Primordialism – Reversed Mage Deck

Your Chosen Card – Nine of Chalices Reversed Mage Deck

When reversed, the Nine of Cups suggests an excessive focus on material pleasures and conspicuous consumerism. Such superficial behavior makes you come across as smug and complacent. Success can be a two-edged sword: it can grant all your wishes, but it can also turn you into a grown-up version of an egocentric spoiled child.

Keywords Reversed: Vanity, conceit, egotism, pomp, pageantry, complacency, unfulfilled desires, superficiality, materialism, overindulgence, reckless generosity, smugness, self-satisfaction, spoiled by success.

Timing: 10 Pisces–20 Pisces. Tropical, 1 March–10 March. Sidereal, 24 March–2 April.
Astrology: The expansive benefic Jupiter (dignified) in the second decan of watery Pisces, realm of the Knight of Cups (Fire of Water) and the dreamy Moon (Pisces). Jupiter is linked to the Wheel of Fortune.
Number Symbolism: 9 – the final single digit, culmination, fruition, attainment.

Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Nine of Cups indicates a period of pleasure, creativity, and enjoyment. Wishes are fulfilled and dreams come true. This is a time of material happiness and success in mundane matters. You feel particularly creative and sociable at this time. Your many blessings are cause for celebration and sharing your happiness with others.

Reversed Cards: In this chapter you will find spreads and spells designed for deliberately reversed cards. I want you to get comfortable with using upside-down cards. I want you to seek them out and use them as allies, friends, and part of your magical support team. I have deliberately not listed crystals, candles, incense, or other altar items for the spells because I find the addition of objects to spellwork to be an intuitive process. Add what you feel you need to your altar while casting your spell. This will make the ritual personal and connect you physically with the casting process.

Reversed Cards: If you are seeing this card in the blocked aspect, then there is a very good chance you are dragging your heels about getting back to your life. Your reasoning doesn’t matter. You are resisting getting your mental energy flowing again. The brain, like your muscles, needs to be exercised regularly or it too can become flabby, dull, and sluggish. A dull mind is never a good thing, and keeping it blocked will only hinder you as you try too move forward.
