Four of Cups upright meaning

  • apathy
  • contemplation
  • discontent

A card of restlessness, boredom, and a good offer you're too checked-out to notice. Look up from what's disappointing you, because something worthwhile is being handed over while you sulk.

Four of Cups reversed meaning

  • re-engagement
  • acceptance
  • new awareness
  • seizing opportunity

You're finally shaking off the flat, checked-out mood and noticing what's in front of you again. Say yes to the thing you almost ignored, because your interest is coming back, act while it's here.
