Mystical Cats Tarot - Nine of Fire

[Onaorkal]

Nine cats are sitting in a circle around a fire burning in a golden cylindrical pot. The ground is beige/brown in color and has a smooth appearance. Behind the cats we can see 3 pillars, but I'm not sure if they are supporting anything. The top of the card shows a dark grey night sky with several stars and not a ceiling. Both ends of the pillars and the top lining of the wall are golden in color. In between the pillars we can see part of the wall, made of the same brown material that the pillars are made of. There are 2 medieval tapestries adorning the wall, both with tassels hanging from their sides and green in color. But their images are different, although mirroring each other. The tapestry on the left depicts a tiger facing right and holding a red pennant with a pawprint on it. The tapestry on the right depicts a lion facing left and holding a blue pennant with a pawprint on it. There is  a small flame covering part of the lion. I am not sure if it's actually touching the tapestry or if it's floating in the air. It's fairly possible that it has reached the tapestry, as the next card (Ten of Fire) shows fire everywhere and this tapestry already being half consumed by flames.

This card is about being in full control and attaining your goal. In this case the cats are fully in control of the Fire element and use it to magically empower the Fire clan. The message is very positive, especially when reading how the author describes it : ''You have all the skills, energy, and willpower to achieve your goal.''
