Four of Cups
The Four of Chalices signals a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction and disengagement despite apparent stability. Upright, it describes an inability to appreciate what you have built and a tendency to wish for more without taking stock. Reversed, it shows urgent restlessness and a desire to escape or start over, with missed opportunities to try again. The card advises taking time for personal reflection but warns against dwelling so long that introspection becomes procrastination; instead, apply what you've learned practically.
Keywords
Upright
Though all your affairs appear to be in order, there is a vague sense of dissatisfaction that lingers like a late-afternoon shadow. You are unable to appreciate what you have built for yourself. You wish for more without taking stock of everything you have.
Reverse
There is an urgent restlessness and dissatisfaction. You want to escape and start over. Everything you have built has turned out not quite right, but you keep missing opportunities to try again. You may need to take time away for personal reflection, but be careful not to dwell too long. Take what you've learned through introspection and try to apply it practically. Otherwise, all that introspection may simply be a means of procrastinating.
Visual Description
A crowned, mermaid-like woman sits on a dark rock at the water's edge beneath a large full moon, her long hair flowing down and curling around the rock. A blue castle stands on distant hills across the shimmering water while a star-filled sky and circular white motifs frame the scene. A small pink heart-shaped object is visible in a nearby tree branch; the card bears the word "chalices" at the bottom and the Roman numeral IV at the top.
