Four of Cups
The Four of Cups signals a heavy sense of ennui and dissatisfaction, where you feel bored and uninterested in what is offered. Withdrawal and taking time out can be a healthy response after difficult romantic relationships, family squabbles, or friend drama. The card advises that while some retreat is restorative, you should open your eyes and accept life's goodness rather than remain disengaged. Reversed, it warns of deep depression, melodramatic discontent, and a lack of gratitude.

Divinatory meaning
Oh, the ennui is so thick around here! It seems like you've been bored forever with no end of the tedium in sight. You aren't happy with what you have. You aren't interested in the offerings from charming, ethereal ladies. Apparently nothing will satisfy you. This isn't always bad. Sometimes after a string of bad romantic relationships, family squabbles, or friend drama, taking a time out can be just the thing.
Advice
Take some time, if you need it, but probably you've been out of commission long enough. Open your eyes, look around, and grab some of life's goodness.
Reversed
Deep depression, melodramatic discontent, lack of gratitude.
Visual Description
A young man sits leaning against the trunk of a large tree with his arms folded and eyes closed, framed by warm, golden light. A translucent, feminine figure or spirit floats before him, extending a single ornate cup toward his hand. Three gilded cups rest on the ground in front of him, arranged in a neat row. The scene is bathed in sunset colors, with twisting branches overhead and a distant landscape beyond the tree.
