The card
A well-fed man sits on a bench with his arms folded and a satisfied smile, nine cups lined up on a draped shelf behind him. Often called the wish card, it shows comfort and pleasure close at hand. It invites you to enjoy how far you have come, while asking whether what you wished for truly nourishes you.
Upright meaning
The wish card: contentment, comfort and the satisfaction of getting what you wanted.
Reversed meaning
Smugness or overindulgence, or a wish that brings less joy than expected.
