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.

On the Five of Wands, five young men fight among themselves with five wands. When you put energy in a task, it could develop rapidly in the early stages and not so much in later stages. The absence of genuine rivalry can make achievement easy. However, once you reach greater heights, winning becomes harder. You experience more and stronger rivalry.

The Five of Wands is about the moment when you discover you are faced with the opposition of people who have the same amount of clout and level of aspiration as you. It suggests clashes and fierce battles, internal questions and reasons for alarm. Having to face worthy opponents, perhaps for the first time, can reduce your energy and drive to succeed, as well as hurt your pride.

The Five of Wands is never a welcome card, as long tradition suggests you will be in line for struggle and aggravation. Pay close attention to the surrounding cards to discover clues about which areas of your life will be subject to conflict. Expect it to be rooted in tension, disagreement, and competition, and console yourself that a positive solution is not outside your reach. Just be prepared for the possibility that the victory will come at a personal cost.

On the Ten of Wands a man is carrying ten substantial wands, attempting to keep them together and bowed by their weight. Although he has complete control of the numerous things he needs to have control over, the weight of responsibility is his to bear too.

Nothing can flourish is what you have to deal with is too much for you to handle. The message here is to take care of yourself and plan where your energy is best directed.
