In a word (upright)
A card full of satisfaction—your wish comes true. What you hoped for is likely to become reality. Savor your joy honestly, and don't forget to reward yourself.
When it appears reversed
Your wishes are coming true, yet somehow your heart isn't satisfied. Perhaps what you truly wanted is something else. Look for what makes your own heart happy—not appearances or others' expectations.
A starting point through the image
In the older guidebook's illustration, The image depicts a person seated contentedly before a row of nine cups.
Use Satisfaction · Contentment · Savoring as a clue when considering something on your mind. A figure in the image need not represent someone of a particular age or gender; it can also symbolize a role held by you or someone around you.
Upright meaning
Enjoy current pleasures by your own standards. Before improving them, count what already feels comfortable. Separating satisfaction for display from quiet personal happiness makes what to keep next day off concrete.
This position focuses on what becomes visible when you pause, rather than adding more. Separate the reply you are waiting for from what you want to think about yourself.
Reversed meaning
Check differences between displayed satisfaction and honest feeling. Even at an enjoyable gathering, choose how long to participate. Reconsider a drink chosen to match others and add your preference to the table.
Even when you have adapted to others, choose your own drink and departure time.
Love and relating to your partner
Enjoy being together with less need to stretch. Naming an activity both enjoyed can offer a criterion for the next plan.
Consider the matter on your mind through Time together and the space each person wants. List separately what the person has actually said and the wishes you have not yet checked; this can help you choose a starting point for the next conversation.
In work and learning
Review finished work. Alongside waiting for assessment, count easier procedures and reduced effort so you can report the substance of results.
For a current task, the perspective is to clarify What you hope for at work and how you ask for cooperation. Focus on one step you are responsible for and first agree who needs to decide what.
When this card appears in a three-card spread
In the position for support and conditions to clarify, This position distinguishes a task that needs waiting time from a step that does not. You can also give rest or a pause a condition for when it will end.
In the position for a next step you choose yourself, The next step need not mean doing more. You can also make space by shortening one task or saying how long you will wait for a reply.
For a reversed card, use its reversed meaning and action above, then revisit the conditions to check in the same position. Rather than deciding an outcome from the card's name, consider the adjacent cards and the question selected beforehand together.
One thing to take into daily life
Name recent satisfactions and separate what you want others to see from what pleases you even privately.
