Four of Cups

Apathy, contemplation, and missed opportunities

Wake up. The gift you seek is already here, if only you would look up.

The emotional plateau. The Four of Cups represents apathy, contemplation, and the refusal of new gifts because you are fixated on what is missing.

Introduction

The Four of Cups appears when you feel stuck, uninspired, or emotionally flat. You may be bored with your daily routine or disappointed that life isn't living up to your fantasies.

While it can indicate depression or apathy, it is often a necessary pause. It is a time of withdrawal to re-evaluate what truly brings you satisfaction. The danger is that in your withdrawal, you might miss a golden opportunity.

Love and relationships

Feeling bored in a relationship. Taking a partner for granted. Refusing dates because you are hung up on an ex. The "spark" feels gone.

Career and work

Job dissatisfaction. Feeling unappreciated. You are offered a project or promotion, but you don't want it. Lack of motivation.

Money and finances

Financial stability that feels unfulfilling. "Is this all there is?" Ignoring investment advice.

A spiritual rut. Meditation or prayer feels dry. You need to look for inspiration in a new place.

I choose to see the gifts in my life.
