We start to feel our lives grow and expand as we say yes to more opportunities and meet new people, visiting new places. We finally have enough mental energy to explore new ideas and feel excited about them for the first time in a long time.
We may have spent our recent months feeling dejected and disconnected but now we have awoken feeling more positive and this allows us to make the changes we have yearned for. It signals that we may be ready to make a new start which always begin in the mind with a fresh perspective. Usually with reversed cards they are the negative counterparts to their upright cards, but in the case of the Four of Cups it is actually a very positive card in its reversed position. “Perfect is the enemy of the good.” - Voltaire Four of Cups Reversed Meaning In this case we are being asked to reallocate our energy and resources into actions and relationships which energize us. It is possible that we have people in our lives who take more than they give, leaving us deflated. The Four of Cups could also be guiding us to assess our relationships. When we receive this card we are being guided to look at the situation from a new perspective so that we can develop a more well-rounded view of how it truly is. We may be trying to make a situation perfect and are overly focusing on every micro imperfection that we fail to see how good it truly is. Like the man in the original art we sometimes can become so absorbed in our thoughts that we fail to see the reality in front of us. The meaning of the 4 of Cups is one of apathy and disenfranchisement. This man is lost in his thoughts which seem to be negative despite the pleasant circumstances he finds himself in. His expression looks apathetic despite the serene blue sky and sunshine he sits in.
He doesn’t notice the 4th cup being presented to him by a hand of God (a hand materializing out of clouds from thin air.) With his arms folded he looks dejectedly towards three cups lined up before him. Its original artwork features a man sitting crossed legged at the roots of the tree. The Four of Cups is the 4th card within the minor arcana suit of cups within tarot.
