Legacy of the Divine Tarot and Frouds' Faeries - Ecstatic Achievement

This morning I drew the Four of Cups, Nine of Coins and Eight of Wands. What I heard in my head as soon as I saw them was "From wanting it to having it... and fast!"

While the Four of Cups usually indicates to me a lack of interest, this card today looks like he is yearning for something. And the Nine of Coins is looking in the same direction, but she has it all. It's like before and after shots. The Eight of Wands is a card of swift movement. The wands in this card are all topped with crystals, which make me think of something magical and mystical. The wands are in the clouds, so it made me think "there's magic in the air".

I drew a faerie card to get a little more information about this draw, and pulled Ekstasis. This Singer has its welcoming arms outstretched in celebration and ecstasy. This is a card of pure, unadulterated joy. The kind of happiness that lights you up from the inside out, and in that moment, nothing else in the world exists but the source of your joy. There is definitely something to celebrate here. (The blue/green colors in the card are so much more vibrant than the scan shows... the card is really beautiful to look at.)

Still not having any idea what these cards are referring to, I decided to dig for another clue. I needed a Major Arcana to tell me what the underlying theme is. So I added up the three cards (4 + 9 + 8 = 21) and got The World. Another celebratory card! This tells me that it's going to be something big. The culmination of something that has been a long time coming. The final chapter... an arrival of some sort. I still don't know what this means for me, but it looks like it's gonna be good! And whatever it is, it appears to be coming very soon.

The World card in this deck shows the Fool once he has worked his way through the Major Arcana and reached the end of his journey. The first thing I noticed was how his arms were outstretched just like Ekstasis! Amazing.

While typing up this post, I had a flash of what these cards might mean, because I remembered a dream I had last night. I won't go into it here, but if that's the case, then the cards are referring to a very specific (and huge) event in the life of someone I used to be close with.

I rather hope that these cards are about me though. :)
