The Scene
In the cool shade of a tree sits a young man with an angry gaze. Two cups at his feet are overturned, their contents spilled onto the ground. The young man greets the girls from the Three of Cups with indifferent detachment, unwilling or unable to participate in their sensual movement. He sits hunched on a hill; fallen leaves swirling in a colorful whirlwind behind him symbolize his neglectful demeanor.
Loss of Taste for Life
Life, no matter how beautiful it may be, sometimes loses its flavor. Most often this is a sign of overindulgence—a passion with which a person fills themselves beyond measure dulls the senses with its extraordinary charm and piquancy.
Call to Action
If you discover in yourself a growing indifference to constant routine, shake yourself up! Don't give in to the temptation to close yourself off, settle down, lie low on the bottom. It may seem like it will require enormous effort, but force yourself to be creative and original! Cling to the waters of the river of life.
Visual Description
A solitary figure sits against the trunk of a dark tree with arms folded and knees drawn, surrounded by tall grasses and falling leaves. Two chalices sit visibly beside the figure while faint cup-like shapes are scattered in the shadowed ground and water below. The sky above is rendered in swirling bands of red, yellow and green, creating a turbulent, starry effect. At the bottom of the image the title FOUR of CHALICES is printed along the water's edge.
