Four of Cups
The Four of Cups depicts apathy and disconnection as a disheartened figure ignores three full cups and an angel offering another. It represents stagnation, lack of motivation, withdrawal, and emotional numbness that can lead to feelings of hopelessness or depression. The card warns that blessings and opportunities may be overlooked or rejected due to disengagement. Reversed, it signals a second wind, renewed awareness of possibilities, and gaining momentum toward a more promising future.

Visual Description
A solitary figure in jester-like garb sits on the ground with one hand supporting their head, looking withdrawn and pensive. Three ornate cups stand on the ground in front of them in a neat row, while a fourth cup is held out from above by a small winged messenger. The background shows a low hill with flowers to the left and a body of water to the right, with stars and a sunlike emblem in the sky. The figure's posture and the offered cup create a quiet tension between refusal and invitation.
