Four of Cups

The image · A figure sits under a tree, arms crossed, staring at three cups, not noticing a fourth offered from a cloud.

Upright

  • apathy
  • contemplation
  • missed chances
  • discontent

Nothing in front of you sparks any interest; everything feels flat. Reflecting is fine — but look around too; something new may be being offered.

Reversed

  • renewed interest
  • accepting offers
  • coming out of a slump

Reversed, you're lifting your head out of the low mood and opening to new possibilities.

Love

In love, a bit jaded, half-present; reversed, seeing the good in the other person again.

Work

At work, low motivation, perhaps missing an opening; reversed, drive is coming back.

Yes or no?

Upright · Leaning noYou're not feeling it right now — rest first.

Reversed · Leaning yesInterest is returning; you can take the new chance.

Yes / No is only this card's leaning — the decision is yours.

How they feel

They're a bit bored or withdrawn; their mind isn't really here.

As advice

Look at the cup you've been ignoring — it may be worth taking.

Ask yourself

What good thing are you overlooking?
