Four of Cups
Upright
Contemplation, Dissatisfaction, Apathy, Re-evaluation, Indifference
A young man sits under a tree with arms crossed in contemplation, turning a blind eye to a fourth cup extended from a cloud, symbolizing dissatisfaction with the current status quo and emotional apathy. Upright represents a need for introspection, re-evaluating what can truly satisfy the heart. New opportunities are right in front of you, but you might fail to notice them due to boredom.
Reversed
Awakening, Accepting Opportunities, Shaking Off Apathy, New Drive
Four of Cups reversed indicates awakening from contemplation, a willingness to accept new opportunities, or breaking out of an emotional rut. You might rediscover passion for life and love. Seize that possibility you have been ignoring all this time.
Love
Upright implies emotional weariness, ignoring suitors, or needing space to think; Reversed represents opening your heart once more.
Career
Upright warns of professional burnout and numbed reactions to opportunities; Reversed is a time to break out of stagnation and accept a new position.
Spiritual
Upright is a period of spiritual dry spell, requiring a re-examination of the meaning of practice; Reversed represents rediscovering divine gifts.
