Four of Cups: General Meaning

Four of Pentacles: Tarot Card

Direct position

A person who has such an Arkan in the layout is missing out on great opportunities in his life. This is due to the fact that he is too selfish, arrogant, proud, considering himself too smart. He is offended by many people, dissatisfied with himself, which is expressed in a constant process of introspection. This creates a large number of complexes and fears.

Motivation for something is completely absent, self-esteem falls below a critical mark. This can happen due to criticism of a loved one, wounded conceit and pride. Such behavior leads to complete apathy for everything, isolation and detachment, collapse in love relationships.

The Four of Cups warns the fortuneteller that you need to pull yourself together, stop whining about and without, so as not to miss more handouts from fate.

Reversed position

Life aspects with an inverted card can be both good and completely unsuccessful for the person making the deal. The lasso may indicate a missed chance that will never be received again. Because of this, self-pity, depressive states will begin.

However, in some cases, the Four of Cups foreshadows new acquaintances, even love relationships, which can be crowned with success. Motivation to work may unreasonably appear, new ambitions will arise.

Four of Cups: Meaning in love and relationships

Direct position

The Four of Cups in a love scenario is a symbol of a person who cannot have a happy relationship. This happens in most cases due to the initial negative attitude towards the opposite sex.

The card may warn the fortuneteller that he met, for example, a convinced bachelor who is never going to start a family and register a relationship.

If the relationship does not develop for a very long time, everything stops at the stage of acquaintance, not finding further development, this is the fault of the person himself, who is inclined to conduct a thorough selection when looking for a partner. Such a calculation in everything cannot become the basis of strong love and good good relations.

It is possible that Arkan speaks of a subconscious reluctance to start a family, a desire for relationships that have no future.

Reversed position

The Four of Cups upside down is a symbol of the sign of fate. Soon there will be a meeting that was destined to happen. There is a possibility that Arkan indicates an improvement in love relationships. Mutual understanding between spouses will improve, there will be complete harmony in marriage.

Four of Cups: Meaning in Situation and Question

Direct position

At that moment in life, when the alignment is made, a person feels complete apathy for everything, boredom, disappointment due to unfulfilled hopes. Such a state happens, for example, when the honeymoon ends, gray everyday life begins. The mood can change dramatically, often in a bad way. Irritation arises even in relation to close people.

The map suggests that you should do a reassessment of values. Perhaps what is considered very important at this stage of life, what frustrates and depresses the most, is actually not so necessary in life. The surrounding people are trying to help, but help is not accepted, the fortuneteller withdraws into himself, renounces everything that exists. This condition borders on a mental disorder.

Try not to take on several things at the same time, it will not end in anything good. Think about what motivation you have for the result, do you have it at all? Do not rush to do something, pay attention even to the little things.

Reversed position

It is difficult to interpret what exactly the card is talking about in such a position. These can be both positive and negative aspects. It is more likely that after a long period when everything was bad, a white streak will finally come, all things will go uphill after a long stagnation.

A second wind will open, which will give new strength, excellent opportunities will be found that should not be missed. Life will sparkle with new colors, which will undoubtedly bring pleasure. It is possible to go to a friendly party, where new acquaintances will appear. The negative aspect is the complete hopelessness of what is happening.

Four of Cups: Meaning of the card of the day

Today, any little thing can spoil the mood. Health problems are excluded. If there is a reason that makes you feel such feelings as sadness and longing, do not get carried away by these emotions, continue to be open to the world, which will definitely help you rehabilitate. In addition, there are many opportunities around that you should not miss out on your own stupidity.

Soul and body require changes, some kind of shake-up. Boredom and routine cause apathy or even complete disgust for everything that happens, these feelings lead to dissatisfaction with one’s life.

Four of Cups: Card Tip

Do not doubt always and in everything, this will only bring harm to the fortuneteller. All the opportunities that fate generously sends are misused or ignored. Nothing good can be achieved by sitting with folded hands. One has only to look around to understand that there are so many interesting things happening around that can captivate for a long time.

Even if a miss occurs, this is a good life lesson, next time you can definitely know how not to do it. Let the focus on results only grow. However, blindly follow everything is also not worth it.

Always think about what you are agreeing to, you should not trust a stranger for a word. Only skip opportunities that obviously won’t end well.
