Four of Cups
Suit of Cups · water
The Four of Cups describes the inward turn that comes when familiar pleasures no longer satisfy. It can be honest contemplation or a kind of emotional sleep that overlooks what is being offered. Ask what you may be missing while you brood, and whether dissatisfaction is pointing you somewhere truer.
The image
A youth sits beneath a tree with arms crossed, gazing at three cups before him. A hand from a cloud offers a fourth cup, which he seems not to notice — absorbed in his own discontent.
