Four of Cups
The Four of Cups describes an extended offer or opportunity that goes unnoticed or is actively ignored due to brooding and overanalyzing, leading one to miss real and present possibilities. It represents thoughtfulness and deep contemplation while warning against withdrawal that blocks opportunities. In reversal, it can indicate the lifting of a methodical or brooding mood, a shift in focus and awareness, or alternately a rejected offer or missed opportunity that calls for careful consideration. Magickally, the card is used to manifest offers and proposals, to encourage clear, creative, and productive thinking, or to symbolize apathy and moroseness.

Visual Description
A man in a blue robe and turban sits cross-legged on a yellow ground beneath a network of bare branches with small buds. Four silver cups are arranged around him while he looks down into his cupped hands; his midriff is exposed and he wears multiple bracelets and a pendant. The light is soft and still, and a banner at the bottom identifies the card as 'Four of Cups'.
