four of cups

On the Four of Cups, a man is sitting under a tree with three cups while being offered a fourth by a hand from a cloud. He stares at the three cups he has as if he is dissatisfied with them.

This card suggests disappointment and discontent. What you believed was brilliant when your emotions were fresh is no longer enough. You have found flaws with it and you’re annoyed by what it lacks. You may be stewing in your feelings, protesting and grousing, and squandering your time. You need to take action, but are not yet ready.

The most insidious of evil is apathy. If its influence remains unchecked you may lose yourself to self-pity, and not even realize what you have lost. This card is a strong warning that you must break out of your current cycles and it is time for re-evaluation. Seek out causes or people to care and fight for. Make new goals, eliminate dissatisfaction, and then seek out new paths to reach them. Now is the time to take risks, as the price of failure is far less than the cost of no longer seeking success.
