# Nine of Cups

**Suit**: Cups | **Rank**: 9

## Upright
Satisfaction, emotional stability, and contentment. Known as the "wish card," it signals that what you desire is within reach. Enjoy the luxury of a job well done.

## Reversed
Inner dissatisfaction lurking beneath surface success. Materialism or vanity may be substituting for genuine fulfillment. What you wanted isn't what you needed.

## In Technical Context
The approach may have strong user or maintainer fit, but validate the happy
path end to end before calling it done. If reversed, check whether surface
satisfaction is hiding a missing requirement or weak tradeoff.
