The Nine of Cups is the symbol of emotional fulfillment. Regardless of his reputation as the "wish" card, the Nine of Cups - like all 9s- often leaves out the participation of others and focuses on the individual. That's why the Nine of Cups, in most cases, indicates situations that make us feel happy with who we are and what we have achieved. The Knight of Wands shows action, enthusiasm, progress and fast developments. He represents the stimulating and inspirting energy of wands and often foretells surprises and journeys. The combination of the Nine of Cups and the Knight of Wands predicts the arrival of a positive phase.
To understand the elemental relationships between the cards, we should always take into account their actual meaning. The elements of the cards are Water (Nine of Cups) and Fire (Knight of Wands). Water and Fire are in contrast, but since this combination usually represents positive energies, we should expect that the positive aspects of the cards will prevail
