The Four of cups appear in the reading when you are disappointed. There is no option or choice in front of you in such a state.
Life seems meaningless at the very moment, and there is no solution to the situation. Nothing can satisfy you, whether the day is ideal or wrong.
The Four of Cups inspires you to do a figurative self-evaluation so that you can come out of your apathy.
The Four of Cups Tarot Description:
In the card, we can see that a young man is sitting under a tree. The youth is meditative with their hands and feet tied to each other.
The young man seems to sit far away from others and engaged in introspection.
In front of this young man, three cups are on the grass. One hand is carrying a single cup in the air. It seems that there is a divine help and a hand out of nowhere is presenting a cup to the young man.
Here all four cups are trying to say that we never pay attention to what we have and do not focus on what the Universe has given us as a gift.
We remain sad and grieved for what is not there, and our focus has always been on achieving that.
