Lord of
Happiness
The Nine of Cups
This is a lovely card, known as Lord of
Happiness. It talks about a sense of inner
fulfillment and bliss, which radiates
outward to touch everybody with whom you
come into contact.
At a spiritual level, we're talking about
inner harmony, contentment and tranquility -
an appreciation of the High Powers, feeling
at one with the Universe. This feeling leads
to feeling that we are blessed by life.
On an everyday level, the card will often
come up to mark periods of high achievement,
and the resulting sense of pleasure and
satisfaction. It will also come up to
acknowledge joy and happiness in an
emotional relationship.
When this card appears in your reading, it's
important to make the time to simply enjoy
your own feelings, to revel in your sense of
calmness and joy.
Working with the Nine of Cups
On a day which is ruled by
the Lord of Happiness, we need only open
ourselves to the infinite blessings of the
Universe, and we will be surrounded by warm
happy loving energy. At its highest level,
this card reminds us of the completely
inexhaustible supply of love that flows
continuously about us, and tells us to
simply step forward and enjoy!
In the hurly burly of modern life it's easy
to forget to count our blessings. And in so
doing, we lose sight of a very basic
spiritual truth - love IS all around us.
Beauty springs up in the most unexpected
places. Radiance and wonder abound in this
world of ours.
Yes - sure, there's a lot of pain out there
too. Sure, not everything may be as we wish
it to be. Sure, we might hear a news report
that does not fill us with faith and belief
in the race.
But we can look up to the sky....and there
(no matter what the weather) we will see an
image of pure perfection. We can study a
flower, and we will see a miracle. We can
look at our lives and be thankful for all
the things that we're glad are present in
it.
And we can do this with an open heart - no
doubts, no yes-buts, no compromises. When we
do this, we fill our souls with the colour
of wonder. We touch the dreaming parts of
us. And once filled, those secret silent
places can feed us strength when we confront
ugliness or cruelty.
All it takes to see the brightness of life
is our willingness to look - without
reservation. And when we see brightness, and
we allow it to enter inside us, we become
brighter, and hope is an easier emotion.
So on a Lord of Happiness day, do these
things - look until you find something
perfect; seek till you discover something
beautiful; contemplate until you find
something to be grateful for. And having
done those things, draw that beauty, that
perfection, that gratitude inside you. And
live the rest of the day in accordance with
what you have discovered. You'll make
miracles!! I promise!
Affirmation: Life fills me with wonder and
light
