The distinctive feature of the Nine of Cups is its extreme degree of manifestation.

.

Moreover, due to the intensity of its manifestation, the Nine of Cups often triggers the manifestation of the One or the Five of Cups. Just like lightning in the sky provokes a clap of thunder and a fire. Although one accompanies the other – these are different events and cards.

.

With regard to memories, the Nine of Cups resembles a certain, often illusory, ideal of perception.

.

For instance, certain lines from A.S. Pushkin's poem "I remember a wonderful moment …" 234 vividly illustrate the Nine of Cups.

The wife goes off on a business trip. The husband and cat stay at home.

Day One:

The cat goes up to its feed bowl:

– Yuuuuuuuck… buckwheat…

It snorts and refuses to eat.

Comes up the day next:

– Yuck-yuck-yuck… yesterday's buckwheat…

Jerks its tail indignantly and leaves.

On the third day:

– Yum! Buckwheat!!!

And quickly devours everything without a trace.

"Tens", according to the Kabbalah, are transformation, metamorphosis, transition to a new state.

Cups (Hearts) are emotions, feelings, memories.

So, the Ten of Cups is a transformation, metamorphosis, transition to a new state of feelings, emotions, memories.

For example, this corresponds to expressions such as "to be reborn", "to become a different person", "spiritual rebirth".
