Four of Cups
The imagery: A young man sits under a tree with arms crossed, looking at three cups on the ground. A hand from a cloud offers him a fourth cup that he seems not to notice.
Upright
The Four of Cups shows a period of boredom, disinterest, or inward focus. You may be so focused on what feels lacking that you overlook what is being offered. Take time to reflect, then look up.
Reversed
Reversed, you may be coming out of a slump and feeling ready to engage again. New opportunities look more appealing. Say yes to something that interests you.
In love
In love, there may be emotional distance or dissatisfaction. Notice what is good before focusing on what is missing.
Work and money
At work, you may feel unmotivated or unsure whether a role still fits. Reflect on what would make the work feel meaningful again.
In yes or no questions
Maybe. Leans maybe, as the opportunity is there but your interest is unclear.
Advice
Look at one offer or opportunity you dismissed and give it a second look.
