Tarot - Nine of Cups



To feel foundation (to feel the sensation of solidity inside you) in the suit of cups – also recognized as the “realm of water” and, by another name, as the “world of feeling” – is to finally be able to feel the outcome of all the awareness you have been directing towards your feeling nature as you have descended, step-by-step, from the level of "Pure Feeling" (the Ace of Cups) towards the "Kingdom of Feeling" (Ten of Cups).

At the Foundation level (Nine of Cups) in the "world of feeling" you have sorted out your basic feeling nature and it is now nicely laid out and ordered "behind you" where it can feed, colour, enrich and enliven your existence as it is intended to! 

After launching out on your journey through the "world of feeling" at the level of pure feeling, you have focused your awareness step-by-step on the highly worthwhile feeling aspect of wisdom, understanding, mercy, severity, beauty, victory and splendour all of which now form your foundation in this particular world.

The act of systematically focusing, clarifying and grooming your feeling nature has all worked together to create the foundation of feeling you find yourself now resting on, relying on and being supported and nurtured by.  In the "realm of water" it is no easy feat to build a solid foundation out of a fluid so you can afford to lightly indulge in the feeling of self-satisfaction a "job well done" naturally brings with it.

Also, by now, you will have reached the point where you feel the reality that you are the true Cup in the "suit of cups".  Yes, of course, you are the real container for your feelings which can prove, at times, to be extremely difficult to manage (but containment and self-possession becomes easier as you systematically sort out your feeling nature within the "world of feeling" as you have been doing throughout the different levels of descension in this suit).

And, naturally, the foundation you have created in your feeling nature isn't there only for your own benefit which you will see when you reach the "Kingdom of Feeling" (Ten of Cups).
